nixi 38 Posted May 2, 2012 I'm now hitting the 7 week post op mark and for the past few days and i'm not feeling so great about food. First of all i have always been a food lover. I love(d) to eat and try new foods and now it is actually a chore to eat. It takes me about 30 mins to finish Breakfast which is usually a kabipro Protein Shake and then another 15 mins to get the courage to swallow my gallstone medication and then my glucophage which i take for insulin resistance. After all that i feel so drained of energy i've actually been going back to bed and then starting my working day at 11.00am. To top that off i keep feel nauseous. Is anyone else suffering from these symptoms? Any clue on what might be causing them? Tomorrow i'm going to try taking my glucophage after lunch instead maybe the dosage of medication i'm taking is too high for the number of calories consumed.

slimthickens 28 Posted May 2, 2012 It could be from taking your meds with only liquids. I know if I take ANY meds without something mushy or semi-solid that I will be nauseous as soon as the medication hits the bottom of my stomach. Our new stomachs have a narrow curve at the bottom now so pills tend to sit there as they dissolve and it can irritate the stomach lining quite a bit if they are sitting on bare tummy. Try taking them with something solid or yogurt or pudding at the very least so that the pills can dissolve in the food and not directly on the stomach lining before passing into the pylorus.

nixi 38 Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks for that. I'm going to try to have my medication with food tomorrow and see how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
