5 weeks out and still dry heaving



Recommended Posts

Hey, just wanted to touch base and let everyone know things are looking up. I'm still having dry heaves 5-7 times a day. Has anyone experienced this? My food stays down, just spit comes up. Had my sleeve checked yesterday and it was fine. Any suggestions.

my entire post just vanished! -- try to recreate:

I don't think it's normal, but I'm only 4 weeks out -- I'm not a long-term sleever. The first thing that comes to my mind is perhaps it's acid reflux?? I get acid reflux especially in the evenings and right after I eat -- my dr. said it was okay to take an additional Nexium until my stomach's acids calm down.

What did your dr. say?? I'm so sorry this is happening -- I would make another appointment and let your dr. know what is going on (and I know you did, but I think you need some answers!)

Hugs!

I dont dry heave but i usually throw up every time I eat. I am five weeks out also,And am still trying to find that fine line of when to stop eating. I dont get a full feeling I get a pressure feeling like somthing is stuck. the more I wait and try to swallow the worse it gets. I ususally throw up spit more than anything. I just have to keep working and figuring out what my amount is

Try measuring your food and try just eating 2 oz. at a time. I sometimes try to keep it to 2 oz but certain things I seem to get in 4. But I measure everything because I am so scared of eating one bite too much.

UGH I HATE THIS FEELING!! this is exactly what I experience, you just have to measure your food. (I was taught to always clear my plate and I can see what aweful thing that was!) I always measure and my sleeve may be okay with that but other times its just too much. I am working on 1 TBSP less than 1/4 cup for each meal 3x day. Good luck!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
