Getting sick constantly....some TMI



Recommended Posts

So I had open RNY on 8/12 and it has been a rough road since the start but now I am wondering if there is indeed something actually wrong. I really can not eat anything without vomiting...sorry I don't like that word but it is what it is. I can drink Water and my Protein Shakes fine but any type of food seems to make me ill and comes back up. I had some cottage cheese about 2 1/2 hours ago and just now I was sitting and watching tv and unexpectedly and without warning it came back up. I didn't even have that achy my pouch is too full feeling. As I ran to the restroom to let it do its thing I noticed in the toilet the shake i drank 6 hours ago was also mixed in. I am wondering how something I drank 6 hours ago could possibly be still in my pouch.

Also just when I thought it was over I started projectile vomiting water...never done that yet. So I suppose my question is has anyone had this happen? Also any advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry you are having issues. I haven't had this happen but it seems that you should call your doctor!

Sorry, call your doctor right away to see what's going on with you. May be you need a endoscopy my friend had one becouse her stomach was too little and she can't eat and drink nothing now she is great. Send you best wishes.. I hope you feel better

How far along from surgery are you? It sounds like you have a stricture which can happen at any point. You should definitely call your surgeon/bariatric center.

Thank you ladies! LosingItForMe2011 I am 24 days out...I was thinking stricture too but for some reason I thought there was pain associated with those. I am going to have to give my Dr a call.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
