Eating/drinking makes me sick UPDATE!

[MrsVanderbilt 29]

**UPDATED 8/18/14**

The mystery has been solved. I developed a hiatal hernia and diverticulum since my sleeve in May. I'm so glad I know what has been causing me pain when I eat and drink. I will now have surgery to correct it. Not crazy about another surgery, but looking forward to feeling good again. I've been suffering for over a month with this.

So i'm about 10 weeks postop. For the last 2 weeks i've been struggling to eat and drink. I get stomach spasms, and when i try to eat it feels like it gets stuck in my throat. After I attempt to eat solid food I get super nauseated. One time i vomited. The only thing that doesn't make me feel bad is a Starbucks nonfat mocha.

I'm dehydrated, have a UTI, and my nails are brittle because i'm unable to take my Vitamins.< /p>

Don't know what i should do, but i'm miserable.

Maybe consider calling your surgeon? At least take care of the hydration issue and Vitamins. Drink whatever you need to to get your liquids in...I know Starbucks non-fat mocha probably has more sugar in it that you should have (much to my dismay), but if you're dehydrated, do what you need to to get liquids in until you can get in to see the doctor.

Good luck and I hope you feel better.

I second what @@InfiniteButterfly said. This is an issue for your surgeon. You might have a complication such as a stricture, or you might just need to go back to your previous phase for a while, or something else might be going on -- but it's your surgeon who needs to check you out. Good luck!

Please call your doctor first, you need to have this addressed, and keep us posted so we know how you are doing. Be well

Thanks everyone. I will call today.

I called my doc 2 weeks ago and the nurse acted like it wasn't a big deal. She said it sounded like reflux, and that i should take Prilosec twice a day, and Hyoscyamine every 4 hours.

They are sending me for an ultrasound of my gallbladder.
