help, is it gas or am i going to vomit?

just had gastric bypass surgery thursday. I was doing fine but i think i drank too much water and tea too fast. Feel like i really need to burp or maybe i need to vomit. What do i do?

help please

You likely drank too much too fast and will be uncomfortable until it gets through your pouch. Your stomach is very swollen from surgery still, and you'll need to take tiny sips. One ounce should take about 15 minutes at this point.

2 hours after I got sick last night I took two sips to take my cholesterol and gallbladder pill. then chewed the two vitamins.

Slept fine and took a couple sips this morning but threw up again. I'm just doing ice chips and popsicles today, and ounce every 15 like you suggested.

Waiting to hear back from my doctor before I take my morning pills.

As far as the surgery pain itself, I haven't had any problem other than the gas/burping. Took tylenol the first two days but that is it.

If you drank to quickly it should eventually go down. It is possible you'll throw up though as well. In the future take very small sips. I fill one of those medicine cups that holds about an once of water and just sipping on that is as fast as I could go. You can't really drink a full size gulp right now like you used to. Now you need to sip and wait for it to go down. Hope that helps.

I'm going to make sure I drink slower today.

thanks

Vomiting post RNY has been interesting. I joke I no longer vomit, I spit up like a baby, lol. Vomiting (which is extremely rare for me) is always prefaced by a weird excessive salivating episode.

My guess is you drank to fast. It'll hurt- same with eating to fast of not chewing enough-- will hurt like a nothing you can imagine.

My nose was running like crazy. I felt great after I threw up.

I think I did drink too much and too fast. Was trying to get in all that they recommended. Will take it slower today.

thanks

i paced around the house and then i pooped and then vomited like crazy.

is this normal?

What was in your tea? Is it possible you reacted to sugar/honey that was put in?

Nothing in the tea at all but it was an herbal tea. Maybe that was part of the problem.
