3 days out

I came home from the hospital yesterday and today started my protein drinks. I have had 2 times today that I felt nausea and the last time had some dry heving. Is this normal?

I don't remember ever doing any dry heaving. Are you doing any warm liquids? I drank a lot of chicken broth after surgery. The warm liquids are suppose to be good about opening your band some and are usually easier to go down in the beginning than cold ones. Take it easy. This could just be your body adjusting to the surgery. If you can't keep your liquids down you difinitely need to call your doctor.

Hello Kendra56,
If you had the RNY, you should be doing room temp chicken broths and water, I was able to have jello and chicken broths, water for the 1st week. But if you are really having a lot of troubles you need to call your surgeons HOT LINE, and see if you might have a structure. Let me know how things ture out.

Kendra - I'm glad that you are home and your surgery went well. I've been thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. So sorry that you aren't feeling well. Hang in there, I'm sure it will get better. Don't be afraid to call your dr's office, they are there to help you and answer questions.

Thanks Jayna...I only had that one day of nausea and I think it might have been from trying some sugar free fat free pudding. It was on my list of ok thinks to have but it was kinda thick. When is your surgery again or have you already had it?

I go tomorrow to see my surgeon and go over all my pre-op tests that I had last week. We will pick the surgery date tom. I am thinking/hoping it will be the week of April 13th. I will post on here what my date its as soon as I get home.

Kendra - I got my date! My laproscopic RNY is THIS Monday the 23rd!!!! I'm so excited!!!

Good Luck....I will be thinking about you
