Stick with water if it stays down and even if it doesnt just drink small amounts just like the first day after surgery and call your surgeon. Dont wait you do need to be seen just to be sure one way or another.. Hang in there.. Try to keep some water down sip sip sip..

Angie I would definitely give your surgeons office a call tomorrow. Better to be safe than sorry. Tell them just what is going on, they are the one to inform you what to do. Alot of us have gone through similar things or problems, but sometimes, it's not always something simple, so give them a call. I would continue with the fluids, but sip, sip, sip. You are early out, so it may be your new pouch still healing and getting use to the different things. Let us know how you make out, good luck sweetie

Sounds rough ~ I agree, call your doc, heck call them tonite ~ you dont need to add dehydration into the mix. Hope you're better soon!

Yeah, get in touch with your dr pronto.
Dehydration is likely making the situation worse, so, until you can be seen by someone, stick to liquids if you can keep them comfortably down.
(((((HUGS))))) Hang in there, hope you feel better soon.

Thanks everyone,
I am trying today to sip sip sip, and at the moment things are ok, I am drinking again and I am not getting the pain that I was, so hopefully I had just upset my pouch by being sick so much, I will persevere with the fluids for a few days and see how I get on, but don't worry if I have any return of the pain, or foamies or sickness, I will get straight back to see my surgeon, I am just praying that this was a slight blip in my recovery and that further intervention won't be needed.....Thank you all so much for your replies and for caring.....
Will keep you informed!
God bless

DO NOT WAIT for a few days to see how it goes, you are still too early out to decide on your own. Call your surgeon now and let him know what happened, and if he says to stick to liquids and see, then do so, if he tells you to come in, then, do so.
Better be safe than sorry. <- This is one of the most important rules in this game.
