8 weeks post RNY and nausea



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on July 31. All had gone well. I was feeling a bit tired here and there. If I ate too quickly I would vomit. So I was able to slow down and got with the program. That was until 3 weeks ago I got a boil under my armpit and about a week later i popped. I started having body aches nausea and fever. I went to the ER on Monday last week because the fever wouldnt stop and another 3 boils started to come out. I was put on antibiotics and sent home. Since then I cant barely eat anything or take my fluids. I dont even like anything I used to like. Not even the ice from my ice maker. The smell of food makes me gag. liquids too. Yesterday all I had was a popcicle and 1/4 diet snapple also ice and bits of Water. Today I forced myself to eat 1/2 of a tiny tenderloin of chicken breast. What can I do? I am scare, I feel exhausted and constantly salivating.

CALL YOUR SURGEON FIRST THING IN THE MORNING FOR ADVICE. IF YOU GET WORSE THROUGH THE NIGHT, GO BACK TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

Thanks. After getting my ears pulled by my doctor I have gotten my act together. The constant nausea he says is due to the lack of fluids and Protein. I was dehydrated his office is at the hospital tower so he ordered admission to monitor me. The IV is horrible but after the 3 bag I felt better. I had a small pouched tilapia w cilantro my husband brought and started by chewing crushed ice. I feel muvh better now.

Drink Protein and ice chips even if you lose it keep drinking otherwise you will end up in the hospital.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
