A feeling similar to morning sickness?



Recommended Posts

5 weeks post surgery By Pass. I wake in the morning feeling great...as the day goes on, I feel more and more as though I have morning sickness ( impossible to be pregnant so don't go there). Nothing sounds good to eat and nothing sounds good to even drink. Never hungry and never thirsty. Does this even get better? Will I get back to actually feeling hungry. Believe me, I have the portion down. Never eat more than 1/2 a cup of anything. By nighttime, I am pretty much horizontal. Need some hope peeps...

do you have a glucose monitor handy? If not, you might want to pick one up at the store and do occasional checks throughout the day to see how your glucose levels are.

About feelings of morning sickness. I know how you feel I thought it would get better but it hasn't. I'm almost two years since my surgery. I've lost a total of 180 lbs. now I'm trying to gain back 20lbs. food looks gross and smells worse. So I eat ice cream, drink whole milk, Protein Shake and some food. Believe it or not I eat an eggo with butter and Peanut Butter every morning and ramien noodles with chicken broth and cheddar cheese every night. Last night I had beef stew it was delicious but 2 hrs later my stomach soured and I took chewable tums, some Zofran and an hour later I vomited. I too feel like this daily but mine is actually in the morning. I'm seeing a gastroenterologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and they found its not from the surgery I've had this for years. So now I take gabapentin to help me swallow and tolerate food. I haven't tried a steak or cheeseburger yet. I drool over them. But I am going to try one. I wish you luck. I try food now I just have to get it to stay down.

      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.
