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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
