**** Always sick, Urrgghhhh!****



Recommended Posts

Someone please give me some good advice about how to stop feeling sick!

I'm 1 month post op yesterday and I'm on Nexium and am eating very well. I am eating about 600 calories a day, getting about 50g of Protein a day and don't have anything high in fat or sugar. Everything I eat I chew well too but I can't keep anything down:(

Call your surgeon. Excessive vomiting isn't normal. In my surgeons paperwork, he says its not normal to vomit more then 3 times a week.

How big are your portions and how fast do you eat them? Are you full on throwing up? Or just sliming?

I'm 6 months and slime almost everyday. I tend to shoot for 2oz of Protein and am only able to hold down 1-1.5oz. I just Serve myself smaller portions and go from there

What is the difference between sliming & foaming? I'm 3wks post-op and I've had the foamies 3 times; they last for HOURS and basically kill all my goals for that day because I'm vomiting foam every 15 minutes for hours on end. Are slimies the same thing? Is it normal to have them that far post-op? Just wondering what to expect.

Thanks!

I would call the doc if you haven't already. Some people get strictures or a collapsed sleeve that prevents them from keeping anything down. Good luck to you and I hope you find answers soon!

More portion sizes are fine but maybe I'm still eating too quick. I chew everything until it nearly dissolves in my mouth but then I take another bite. Is that too quick?

I wait 3 or 4 minutes in between bites typically. Things that are bad for me, of course, I don't have to..but eating chicken, fish, or something healthy & substantial - I have to, or the discomfort is horrible. I hate that you are vomiting/sliming/foaming - I would contact the dr if something just doesn't feel right to you.

Best of luck to you!

Early out Vitamins were the culprit to the nausea I had for two months and it's very common. Try stopping them for a day or two if things seem better, maybe switching brands or change the timing of your dose can help! But do call your dr.

It's funny you say that. I thought the same about the Vitamins so I stopped them today and guess what? No more nausea. Maybe you hit the nail on the head!

      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.
