11 days Post Op. Every day seems another challenge. Today first post op appointment. Emotions all over the place! I had stopped taking cymbalta because it was capsule and I read somewhere not to take capsules for ten days post op. Anyway probably not a good idea and Dr. advised to start back on it, so I came home and took the capsule with protein drink, then took a vitamin and got violently nausea. Threw up but just dry heaves. 5 hours later still nauseous. I guess I overdid it with the combination!

I just want to add that drinking your protein excruciatingly slow is the trick to not throwing up. I mean a sip every few minutes. It should take 30-40 minutes to get the drink into your body. It’s tedious but that’s life now. I am 2 years post op and still need to drink very very slow. It’s actually a good thing as it means my pouch hasn’t stretched out!!

Dr says cymbalta was fine, when I was off it for six or seven days I was insane, emotional, crying, hurting all over, etc. Took 90 ms as I have for years once at night and it has stopped the pain but still feeling shaky and nauseous. I need an expert before I stop taking it again. Maybe nausea will go away. Everyone says you can't stop taking cymbalta cold turkey.
