1 day post op -nauseous

I feel sick after drinking too quickly. Maybe your sips were too big or too close together?

The nausea may be from the anesthesia. The watery bms I had for the first week. I just figured it was the "water in, water out" reason. It could've also been from the new whey protein bullets. Did the doc prescribed anything for you nausea? You don't want to actually begin vomiting. That would be really bad.

no, maybe i should try to get something called in

Sorry that you're feeling nauseated. I went through the same thing last week after my surgery. My doc gave me phenergan suppositories which helped a lot. I had to stop taking the liquid hydrocodone pain med because I think that was adding to the nausea.

Hope you feel better!

ok doc prescribed phenegran. im no longer nausiated. How much did you all consume on the first couple days? i can barely drink 5 sips before becoming full. also i have been spitting quit often. is this normal?

I had my surgery on Thursday (today is Saturday). I have dry mouth and have been sipping water. I am nauseated as well and my doc prescribed phenergan suppositories and they worked. I have a burning sensation in my chest. Did anyone else have that?

I didn't do any spitting. The spitting could be coming from being slightly tight from swelling. Did your surgeon prefill the band with some liquid, because some do? If not, you may be like I was, and have some restriction from swelling caused by the surgery. If that is the case, just consider yourself lucky. I am 8 1/2 months post op and have only had 2 fills of 1cc each in my 11cc band. My stomach is REAL sensitive to being messed with.

I am on day 2 post op and am taking over 1 hour to drink my liquid bkfst. I took my regular medicine and am full already- I feel not nauseated but extremely full and to think that I need to be adding water and or other liquids to meet the reccomended intake makes me want to gag!

I finally had a loost stool this am- 1st one since day of surgery YIPPEE-

I am trying not to think about it but I am also burping a lot- Has anyone else experienced this? The doctor said ti may be gas from the anesthesia etc. I am trying to walk around the house too- a little bit each hour.

I am burping quite a bit also. I think this is normal. I just came back from a tiny walk outside.

hi, I am so in tune to what you are sharing. I had my surgery on Thursday , so not very long. The first day home. I tried sipping on some broth and I had the most violent regurgitation! The funny thing is instead of it coming out of my mouth, a gush of Water was released. What I mean is yes, I urinated on myself.:welldoneclap:

It was quite scarry! I also had massive heart burn. My doc corrected a hiatal hernia, so i am guessing that is why i had the burning in my chest.

I too am burping alot. It seems like sometimes it gets stuck. I just thought it was the trap gas from the surgery.

I am sure we all will get through this and it will get better.

Hi!

I am close to all of you I was banded on Tuesday. The only thing I complain about is Light headedness.

I am trying not to take my pain meds at all, cause i notice when i do that is when i feel even worse.

My first 2 days I couldn't drink either, so I think as long as u get some down thats good. Today I am trying to focus more on my intake..

The burning in the chest i got to, i think its the fluids sitting on the band, but i dont know... it happens after i drink a good amnt and after i eat. (I am on creamy liquids...)

Good luck to all of us:)
