Problems integrating new foods and constant nauseaa



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery on 7/15 of 2014. I am losing weight, however I am struggling with nausea and vomiting. I also have a lot of trouble integrating new foods into my diet. The other problem I have is dizziness and overall weakness. I am very concerned that I will never return to health and that maybe the sleeve was a mistake for me. I just want to feel better. This situation is making me very depressed at times.

What kind of surgery did you get? Are you getting enough Water and Protein? According to my NUT instructions, when you introduce new foods, only try one new food that day and a very tiny amount-- 1 or 2 thimblefuls.

If that doesn't help, I suggest you call your surgeon's office.

Hello my brother had the sleeve October 20 and has been in and out of the er he is nauseous and throws up constantly can't keep any food down. I am so sad for him he was overall healthy just over weight he regrets every moment of having the surgery it has made him unhealthy and depressed and he is in fear that he is going to die. They have him in meds for pain and nausea but nothing is helping him. I am scared for him will this pass they checked every thing and can not find any complications which I am thankful for is this just something you go through or is it going to be life long? I am so worried for him any information that any one can share would be amazing. God bless all of you and I pray those who are suffering from complications a speedy recovery.

Yes he is @@BeagleLover they just keep putting him on iv and giving him pain killers and have put him on anti depressants. They discharged him yesterday and when he got home all he did was throw up and sleep he can't even open his eyes today. I am so worried and scared. I am not understanding what is going on. :(

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
