Recommended Posts

I'm 1 month out of surgery, I have lost 34.5lbs. The last few weeks, I'm having a very hard time taking my pills and getting Protein in. I don't even feel like eating, and if I do I end up getting sick. I get sick more often. In the last week, I have been having a lot of pain in my stomach. The other day I was walking around the mall with my bf, and I barely made it back to the other in before getting sick. I see my doctor on the 7th, and she is about a hour away, and with the snow storm I haven't been able to make it done there. I do plan on going to the ER tonight, but I don't know what else to do before than. I have three small children and I feel useless. Is anybody else having or had this problems in the first month and goes it get better...

You might have a stricture.

Go to ER as soon as you can. You need to be seen by a professional!

Agree with the above, something is up and I'm suspicious you're now getting dehydrated. It definitely needs evaluated ASAP. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I have been plagued with nausea since my surgery and I too get those kinds of pains. Worse when I eat and drink. They ran a bunch of tests on me and for the most part most came back normal. I had to do 3 nausea medicines in order to get over my bump. Once I got caught up on my Water intake I slowly got better. I'm not gonna lie though I still have a couple of days a week where I froth and vomit. My surgeon told me sometimes it can last up to 6 months. Some people's stomachs swell more and get annoyed easier. I also find if I throw up on Monday, Tuesday I'm sore and not gonna eat or drink much because I am green.

I too have been getting nauseous an having a difficult time getting Water and Proteins in. I should be able to eat soft foods now but I have to wait 1:30 between drinking and I just can't do that if I want to come close to half my daily water intake. I went in to the ER at a week out for abdominal pain but everything was ok internally, I was just dehydrated. However I have started feeling the same way again, but I don't want to go in just for fluids. I don't understand why I keep getting sick to even look at water or smell food.

Ladies , please don't worry ... It will pass.. The surgery is a blessing but before it's better , it gets worse ... It's hard in the first few months ... The pain can come from dehydration , Constipation , etc...it's frustrating since you don't know what normal and what is...I maybe got 8 oz of Water in my first few months...it's skit of juggling ...some things will go down fine one day and the next day if could hurt;(

I've been in the same boat. I had surgery June 20. I never want to eat and when I do it's very little. After surgery I wasn't able to do Protein shakes milk or eggs so I have to did my Protein other ways. In October I got severely dehydrated and malnourished. The admitted me to the hospital place a PICC line in my arm and sent me home to get TPN through a pump at night. While I'm on TPN I eat a little bit more but no where close to what I'm suppose to have. Few months later and a lot of test the determined nothing is wrong and we arnt sure why my body isn't absorbing. Thankfully last week all my level came up an I was taking off TPN. We will see what happens from know on. I'm forcing 30-60 grams of protein a day and about 20 ounces of Water. I'm constantly forcing myself eat something.

I have lost 100lbs but I went Nov-feb not losing anything because the TPN kept me at a plateau.

Let us know what you doctors come up with. You could have a stricture r ulcer. I have neither and I hate eating.

      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.
