Feeling worse than after WLS

Well I had my gall bladder out one week ago today and it seems like this had been harder on me than the WLS, maybe because I wanted it and I didn't want this (but needed it).  I've had nausea and actually thrown up a few times.  Yesterday I decided to go back to a liquid/soft diet and that seemed to help.  I know I am partially nauseated because I am not drinking enough so I tried to do better on that yesterday also.  I know I am way low on my protein and calorie intake and I have been taking my bariatric multivitamins, but nothing else.  I hope today is a better day.  I am still having some stomach pain, gas and bloating.  And to top it all off, one of my incisions looks like a Frankenstein scar!  Guess I am having a pity party.  Here's hoping today is better!

So sorry you are having a rough time! I'm sure you will feel better soon. Just try to take it easy, and definitely get those fluids. Try to get your vitamins, that might have something to do with it. Hang in there!

Thank you Shannon, I know you are right!  I just drank a protein drink and took my first set of vitamins.

So sorry you are having such a rough go of it.
Just listen to your body and do what is agreeable.
Hydration is key and as you heal, you will be able to get to your protein goals.
Keeping sipping and I hope you will feel better soon.

I had a harder time with my gall bladder surgery than my WLS.  It was supposed to be done on an outpatient basis. Well they ended up keeping me for 4 days. I had drainage tubes and everything!  Severe naseua & vomiting. It was the pits!  My WLS was a walk in the park compared to it.  With that being said, I hope you are feeling better.  Perhaps you should call the dr if the nausea/vomiting gets too bad.  Sending positive vibes your way.  Cindy
