sick for days



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery a year and 1/2 ago and for the past week I've been ill. I'm either puking, nauseous, or my food is getting stuck. is this something I should contact my surgeon about or do you think it will fix itself. I'm not eating anything I've not eaten in the past and I've been staying away from foods that I know get stuck. If anyone could please help me with this I would be really grateful. Thank you

If I were you I would definitely contact the surgeon about this immediately.

Take care and let us know what happens with you.

This happened to me a few weeks ago! I'm a little over 6 months post op. I couldn't even hold Water down without puking it back up. This went on for four days. Went to see my surgeon and was dehydrated. He sent me to hospital for intravenous fluids. I felt much better afterwards and was able to eat and drink. He thinks something I ate got stuck and wouldn't allow anything else to go down. If the fluids didnt help,he stated he would have to do another endo... I was sure glad it did because I did not want another endo

Contact your surgeon - that's what they're there for. Determining exactly what is happening is a job for the big kahuna.

You must go to the ER immediately. You may have an intestinal blockage. 4 years ago tI had the same symptoms and they found that the ascending limb of my colon had twisted around itself. When this happens they have to remove it. It may also be possible that your intestines may be completely full and are not working at all. That condition also requires hospitalization to get it all working again. If you delay getting yourself properly taken care of, this could be fatal. Blocked intestines can become gangrenous and if that happens, there is no cure.

      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.
