Rough day
on 4/4/15 11:07 am
Well today was a rough day. 5 days after being sleeved. Today i ended up puking. I also cried alot. I know im not getting much protein in or vitamins in. I gotta remember im not even a week out. I havent even started taking my pills again yet. I just feel weak and tired.
Please call your surgeon. If you're depressed, you might also want to find a therapist you can talk with. Are you getting in all of your fluids? Dehydration can cause so many problems early on!

Are you taking a PPI such as Prilosec or Nexium? Hunger post-op is most often a side effect of acid. Taking a PPI will get the acid under control and solve the hunger.

Hang in there! How long have you been out of the hospital (or are you yet)? I was sleeved just before you, I think - Saturday March 28, so we're just a few days apart. I have a bit of nausea when I'm drinking (and it gets 100 times worse when I'm trying to take my vitamins!). I got really close to getting sick a couple of times in hospital while drinking fluids but was able to hold it back. How are you doing otherwise?
I didn't start my vitamins until about 1 week post-op (chewable multi-vitamin and liquid calcium) and it took me that long to start getting 1 protein drink. It took me all day to drink. Make sure you're sipping water. Also try some mineral water, that helped me early out. It will get better. If the puking continues, definitely call your doctor.
