Aww glad you ok... Yep 1000 sit ups is quite accurate. I'm off home tomorrow we have an extra day because of the long journey home. Take care rest well xx

Hi all, had a bit of a rough journey. Blood pressure crashed during surgery so was being monitored closely. Had me hooked up to fluids but every time I got up I was close to fainting which was a bummer as the wind pain in my right shoulder was excruciating! Anyway did a blood test and they recon I had a post op leak probably from a port site so I was give 2 units of blood last night and am felling a lot better today but may need another tomorrow. This was most definitely not in my plan........... Not managing enough fluid as then nausea is awful but I'm hopeful for a good nights sleep tonight. Oh and you should see my bruised tummy - very impressive. Hope the rest of you guys are feeling well. Take care X

You poor thing. I would suspect it's the anaesthetic still in your system. Considering you've had a band and no internal re plumbing ??!!
Perhaps asking this question on the banders forum area. Someone might be more in the know.
Anti sickness Motililium melts are available over the counter and just melt under the tongue. This could settle the nausea until you get some help.

Rachel i am 5 days post sleeve and i still feel sick as well, relieving the wind is helping me. Didn't know about the motilium roccosmummy, may have to get some, thank you xx
 
Rachel, I'm 2 weeks post sleeve and while physically I have no pain at all I still feel nauseous every day. I went back to the hospital and they said it wasn't unusual. I think you have to grit your teeth and wait for it to pass. I hope yours passes quicker than mine. Good luck !
 
thanks roccosmummy, ive got to see my gp next week so ill ask him, better to be safe than sorry :)

Hey you

My diet is purée for four weeks.
I have 3x meals per day each of
1x tablespoon protein
1x tablespoon veg

+ a couple of snacks like tablespoon yog or teaspoon peanut butter or cheese triangle or a little amount of purée banana ( take it easy with fruit until you know what you can tolerate)

Today I had:-

B. 1/2 weatabix with warm milk and sweetener
L. Mash and homemade chicken & veg casserole ( stolen from baby's freezer stash!)
S. Cheese triangle
D. Butter carrots and mackerel ( puréed with a little light mayo)
S. Small latte ( half cup 4 oz?!)

Suddenly felt dreadful when I didn't have anything for a few hrs hence the cheese triangle. Thought I was gonna pass out :-(

Sipped a little water all day.
 
Thanks I'm just so emotional and sore when I get up at the moment the only relief is to lie on my recliner chair but then sore to get up. I'm still happy I've done this but regret getting big in the first place.
 
You all sound like your coping really well. I'm even struggling to stand up cause the gas is so bad so not even like I can walk it off. Sleeping in a recliner to help me get up if I need to wee whilst husband asleep. Feeling really fed up.
