Help! 4Months Post-op and dry heaving



Recommended Posts

As my tag line says I am 4 months post-op and I am dry heaving quite often after eating and some times even if I haven't eaten. The only things I am able to eat are fruits and veggies. Typical day I eat one orange and a cup of mushrooms/carrots and on occasion I can eat shrimp. All other Protein makes me nauseaus. Anyone else having these issues?

So tired of having no energy and unable to eat anything. When will this get better? I am sooooooo regretting the surgery. At this point I wish I never had it. I want this feeling to change but right now I am mentally stuck.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Time to talk to your doctor. There are meds that they can give you to help. They will also want to make sure you do not have a stricture.

Also this will pass and is normal to feel regret. We all go through it. Things will get better and easier.

Are you getting enough Protein? DId you do okay on liquid diet? You might want to back up your diet to a previous stage where you weren't dry heaving. Rhe maintain thing is to get your Protein.< /p>

I agree try liquids and talk to your Dr. I also went through this about the same time. To be honest mine was stress. I have learned really quickly that my new stomach and body doesn't handle stress or getting upset the same way any more. I get nausea and then if I eat it causes the dry heaving. Another time I would dry heave is during brushing my teeth. I felt like I couldn't breath and too much foam and I would start heaving.

Sorry you are going through this. It has calmed down for me in learning how to adjust to my emotions.

      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.
