Hi, My Mum is 24 days post Ivor Lewis op. She had a chest infection and had to have fluid drained from her Lung, which set her back. After eating a small amount of food she vomits it back up about 30-60 minutes later. Is this normal in the early days post op? Thanks Debs

Hi
My mum had the same surgery and from my experience with her I would say that is very normal, its a very tough surgery and it took her a while to be able to eat properly and keep it down. Has your mum been given anti sickness meds at all? Hang in there it will get better, wishing your mum all the best.

Thank you for your reply. My Mum had anti sickness whilst in hospital, but they haven’t sent her home with any. She has only just been discharged from hospital. I a going to call the GP and ask them to review her meds. Wishing your Mum all the best too.
Hi is she on puree foods. Very early days is she home. I spent 3 1/2 weeks in hospital then still could only tolerate a couple of spoonfuls of food. I heaved alot. Speak with consultant or dietician if worrie
Good luck
Debbie
If it continues speak to the dietician or consultant. She needs to eat and put weight back on! Good luck and stay in touch. Haward
