Dumping everything, even water?



Recommended Posts

So, I'm 6 weeks post op and this weekend all of a sudden, I can't get anything down without being in the bathroom immediately. Been on typical soft food diet - Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, egg beaters, tuna. This weekend had a Protein Shake and immediately had chills, dizziness, sweating, cramps and straight to the bathroom. Decided to step back and just have unsweetened tea and Water. Both give me the same thing. Odd that the water of all things give me severe cramping and immediate need to go to the bathroom. I was at the tail end of a 10 day stall, so not sure if this is all playing a role? Have lost 6 pounds since Friday. Any thoughts?

Can't edit my original post, but think it is worth mentioning that I haven't had any issues during my first six weeks before this weekend.

In my mind, sudden changes in how you handle food and drink, especially if they are for the worse, mean call your surgeon for input and advice. It may be nothing, it may resolve itself within a few days, but it could signify a problem and he's the expert who can help you figure it out. Good luck!

I agree with Bufflehead. Call your surgeon ASAP.

It's possible you have a stomach virus maybe from something you ate. Tea will probably make worse so I wouldn't drink it. Go back to just taking small sips of Water every so often, sf popsicles, broth and call your Dr.

Thanks all. Called doc and he suggested going back to Clear Liquids and try another Protein Shake once I can keep clears in. Had a couple sf Popsicles and Water and those worked well, and got a Protein shake down with minimal problems. Hoping mspatrice is right and it was a stomach virus of some sort.

      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.
