Bile Vomit And In Bowel Movement



Recommended Posts

I am 8 days post op. This morning I had my first BM and I noticed it was bile. I know it is cause since I had my gallbladder taken out 5 years ago it would happen with fried foods. I am still on Clear Liquids. This afternoon I went to store with my husband but as soon as we got there I became very sick with chills and nausea. Once we got home is when I rushed in the bath and vomited bile. I am still having chills I jumped in hot shower immediately to see if I can warm up. I'm trying to take in Water now and its hard for me to even get about more than an 1oz. Please help? I been in tears cause how weak feel and how I might have ruined my life with this surgery.

I think you need to call your physician ASAP. Could be nothing but that's why they have a call center. Even if just to ease your mind.

i'm not sure what you mean about your bm being 'bile'. Bile is what gives the bm its color, all the time. Chills and nausea makes me think of infection. Take your temp. is it over 100? Are you able to keep any liquids down? Try gatorade or pedialyte. Dont worry about the sugar at this moment, your body needs the sugar (if you're dehydrated).

If you have a fever, can't keep liquids down, vomit blood, pass blood in the stool, or any thing else weird, get yourself checked out at an e.r.

it is not likely you ruined your life. new sleeves can come with some attitude. I myself, shat myself just the other day while driving to work. just keepin it real.

Gelica, i am so sorry youre having a rough go of this. It does get better--and soon. I understand the regrets you are having right now.

But for today-- get yourself into see a doc. you need hydration probably. that alone will help you feels heaps better.

Go today since the long weekend is coming and it will be a major pain to get seen before Monday. Dont wait that long to feel better.

Take care of yourself. you have been on my mind. PM me if you want to.

Hugs,

tink

Thanks everyone I did try calling the dr office but no answer today. I found an easy way for me to get Water in (ice chips). It helps me from drinking Water too fast and hurting. I think I was approaching serve dehydration. Today was also the day I was able to move into full liquids, I decided to wait and work on H2o today. My husband has grounded me from going anywhere and still not permitted to drive until I have enough strength.

The premier shakes are best for me as a slush as well. Maybe try one that way. They're 30g Protein

It's normal to vomit bile if you are nauseated on an empty stomach. Chills also point to nausea. Try some peppermint or ginger tea. By all means contact your doctor but it is probably nothing to worry about. As for the runny BM, very normal when you are on liquids.

        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.

      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
