Starting wk 3 post-op & I'm still throwing up....ugh!



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done on Sept 23, and the first week was a bit tough because I was having to learn how to sip slowly without getting in too much air and also because of the "sour stomach" or "acid reflux", which has been sort of managed with antacid pills (1 in the morning & 1 before bed) and I also carry Tums & Gas-X strips with me.

On wk 2 I started on full liquids, and that has seem to have started with my upset stomach it seems like. I had a really bad episode at work last Wednesday, I had my vanilla Protein shake, and it felt like I had a ball stuck in my stomach/chest. I ended up throwing up for about 1hr off & on until I took some tums, and that finally calmed my stomach. But the throwing up has happen, Friday, Saturday night, & now today. I haven't had the vanilla shake since last Wed., so I decided to try it this morning......NOPE, not happening.

I'm so frustrated at this point. I'm suppose to start soft foods this week, but I'm so afraid to try anything new. Has this happen to anybody else? I'm eating slow and only 4oz. I'm drinking my Water. This crap is getting old. As I type this my stomach is still upset. No more vanilla Protein Shake, that's for sure.

I'm 3 weeks out today and I cannot eat over 2 ounces. If I don't measure and go over that I pay. I'm on soft foods btw. Definitely takes some getting used to! Good luck!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
