Dry heaving one year post-op



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on here. I'm one year post-op and for the past month I've been dry heaving. It usually hits me in the middle of the night. I thought it would just go away... But it has not. Has anyone experienced this? I had my sleeve done in Mexico so my pcp in the states is helping me with recovery and things. I thought that maybe I was pregnant, but that came back negative. Any advice would be helpful. I also haven't lost any weight since December and my surgery date was 3/21/14.

Thank you,

Melissa

I am only five months out but I was dry heaving until last week when I posted how I was feeling

and was advised to take prilosec. I have to take two but I have not had not been sick since. I

still have a problem eating, it hurt when I try to eat solid food. I am glad you are seeing your

PCP, it sounds like you may need to have an upper GI to see what is going on. I feel that anyone

who has had weight loss surgery should stay in close contact with their primary care. I see her

once a month because of post op issues. I hope you feel better soon.

I am very excited and I had to share. I went to the Dr. this morning and I have lost another 10 lbs.

Last month I only lost 1 lb. and was so upset but today gave me another boost. May 10th i was

five months post op. My total weight loss in 91 lbs. I was very sick at first and most of you

know my terrible story. A lot of weight was lost in the first three months but then I just stopped.

I need to lose 42 more lbs and I will be done. I am very excited. I did start walking a lot, I

just head out of the front door and I don't go back until I am exhausted and I think that is what

jump started my weight loss again. For all of you May sleevers, I can't wait to hear your post op

stories. Good luck to all of you...

      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.
