need help!!! warning tmi

Im 5 days post op bypass and feeling horrible. The pain is actually fine but cant get rid of the nausea and vomiting. Because of that im not getting anywhere close to 64 oz of fluid a day let alone my protien requirements. My tummy feels so full of air i just can't force more in and if i try i vomit. Im even on anti nausea meds. Ive had a few bowel movements and passed gas but it doesnt seem to be enough. I've been walking and that doesnt seem to help. All I want to do right now is curl up in a little ball and sleep it all away! Any ideas please I'm desperate here!

It sounds like you're doing all the right things. Call your doc, they have other meds to help.

Have you called your surgeon's office?  I'm wondering if you might be developing a stricture?

Check in with your doctor. Nausea is the WORST.

Zofran is a miracle med.

Agreed, you are doing all of the right things...Fenagran and Zofram could help out a lot! They also have a patch they can place behind your ear for a 3 day period.

Hang in there....it gets better!

PS: A great way to get rid of the air trapped in your body is a nice heating pad!

Good luck, keep us updated!

Another way to get air out is to bend over (pain-willing).  I had a bunch of air and thought I was going to throw up.  I bent over the toilet and a big burp came out - I felt so much better.  Good luck, hun, and call your doc for more help.
