I was told to sip one ounce of water every 15 minutes and walk at least 5 minutes every hour while awake. I was also on anti-heartburn medication for six weeks. Call your surgeon and get this resolved. You should not be nauseous and should not be staying in bed.

I?m 3 days post RNY and all I want to do is stay in bed and close my eyes. I feel nauseous often when up. How long did you guys feel like this if at all? When does life start to feel normal again?

And I did have several clients that successfully managed it through sheer personal will ... one ( formerly ) fat little jewelry district salesman ... a fairly elderly dentist... even a middle aged lady with a huge bra- buying issue ... but she loved to run on that treadmill bouncing ( dreadfully) all the way .....but she joined road runners club and shes probably wearing lululemon yoga pantz and has an apricot ass today .

No it's actually a LOT worse ... ya gotta swipe nasty things that make you want to puke out of the toilet... and we're talking three big glass vials and something that basically like a Kitty box in the toilet for collecting poo !!!!

Call me a child but I can't do it . I barf like literally thinking about collecting these samples.

That's not how at home fecal tests work. You don't stick anything up your butt. Make sure to read the directions completely or it may not be accurate.
