Issues w tender tummy?

[rockin jessie 57]

Got a q for you all.... Are u sensitive to most things or can handle most things!?? I am 12 wks out (as of Tuesday) and I am super sensitive to everything. I am so worried I'm gonna be sick/sensitive the rest of my life. What are your thoughts? Experiences?

I know it's different but I'm 4 weeks post op and everything hurts me. I feel your pain.

I have my days. Somedays I can drink my Atkins Protein Drink and some days I get nauseated. I also have issues with foods at times. Most days are good days except with those Protein Drinks. I found that having a prescription for zofran has helped tremendously. My surgeon who has been doing gastric bypass surgeries since 2008 says he has zero patients walking around with chronic nausea. I have just heard especially the first six months and some longer that your pouch needs to adjust. I am a month out today.

God bless zofran.

I'm 7weeks out and wondering the same thing. I had a turkey burger (on lettuce) Tues and Wed for dinner. Wed I got sick after eating. Tonight I had tender chix (which I've had before) and I dumped again! It's crazy how some days no issues, and then bahm! I feel like every time I think about what I'm going to eat or try something, I get nauseous. Thanks for reminding I still have some Zofran left over. Maybe I need to talk to my DR about a prescription? Nienie do you take it everyday, or just as needed?

I take it just as needed. I have thought about taking it prior to drinking Protein Shakes but somedays the Protein shakes go down good. So for now I just have it on hand for those moments..Nothing worse then being nauseated. When that happens I don't want to eat or drink and before having Zofran got myself dehydrated one day so the benefit of the Zofran is tremendous.

Thanks, I will keep it in mind. I only have 4 left!

My nausea went away for a while and seems to have resurfaced. I seem to have gotten pickier. Just hope it gets easier

I'm nine weeks out from surgery and my stomach is a mystery to me as well. Like others, I have days where everything is good - and others where I smell food and want to barf. I'll have salad one night, and the next - even looking at lettuce/spinach is repugnant. I can always do liquids - so that is my fall-back. I'm off all my meds and down 58 lbs - so I should NOT complain - but I wish I understood my pouch and what it wanted...

Sea Bands work really well too for nausea incase you don't want to do drugs:-)

I used to have a hard stomach, meaning few foods and smells bothered me. Now I'm like a pregnant woman. One day the smell of cinnamon smells great, the next day it makes me vomit. Same with tastes as well. I feel like such a weak wuss right now. But I've learned that this is just a phase and it will pass. So just know that at one point you might go through the nauseous phase but it won't last forever.

It's been 11 weeks since I had surgery. Everything makes me sick. The smallest things turn my stomach now. I hope this passes to...
