How much could you eat at 7 weeks post op RNY?

I have trouble getting down one thin slice of lunch meat or the equivalent of that much of any food. Everything seems to make me give me nausea, even water! I gag at Protein Drinks.

What can I eat that doesn't upset my stomach when even Water turns it? I can't even do yogurt anymore because that was what I was living off.

Try fat free refried bean with a little reduced fat cheese. Ricotta bake is good also. If you can handle solids I eat Boca burgers. They have 15g of Protein. Egg salad is another option. I hope things get better soon????

You are most likely dehydrated. Nausea is one of the symptoms of dehydration and can make eating and drinking anything very difficult.

Have you talked to your doctor or nurse about this? They may be able to give you something like zofran for the nausea and they will have more insight as to what may be causing your symptoms.

If I was a betting woman, I would guess that you are not getting enough fluids which can make you very very sick very quickly. Also because you are not feeling well, you are not getting your Protein in which can also make you very sick.

Not sure which Protein you are using but I might suggest trying some others. I know I had to switch until I found one that didn't gag me. For me that was Premier Protein ready made shakes. They are 30 grams of protein in each one with only 1 gram of sugar. You can get them at Sam's or costco.

I hope you feel better soon!
