Day 5 Post Op

Had my sleeve on 5-9-11 Have been feeling very "full" since surgery. Am sure much of it is gas. Have been on the Gas X strips. Had a BM. But, this morning after my protein drink, I'm very nauseated. Pain is only mild soreness now. Otherwise, I'm doing good. Had an UGI the day after m y sleeve - no leaks! Yeah! But, why all the nausea? any ideas? Did you experience this or that uncomfortable "full" feeling?

You are sipping your protien drink and water right? I was drinking my protien and water to fast and swollowing in air. What I did was drink slowly chamomile and pepperment tea. It is a herbal teas without caffine and can count as your water in take.

wow :) I am feeling "full" also and I had my surgery on the 11th. I hate this feeling..I know its gas..its just when my stomach growls I think I'm hungry..I don't know what to think.

I hope you feel better with the nausea. I had that in the hospital and it was an awful feeling. If it gets worse talk to your doctor because they do have meds for that.

Thanks for the info on the tea. I didn't know we can have tea if it is decaf. I wasn't sure. Any suggestions for teas that break up gas???

Hi Kim,

I too had alot of nausea but it pretty much passed.  My dr sent me home on Pepcid QD.  Maybe you want to call you dr and suggest it?
Take care!

Think I will get some Pepcid. Couldn't hurt. They did send me home with some Phenergan if needed. I'm beginning to think the nausea might just be dehydration. I'm sipping ALOT but still not managing to get at least 64 oz. in. But, I'm working on it :)

Thanks for all your support!!
