My body is going crazy



Recommended Posts

So my surgery date was may 26 and I haven't had many issues besides gas once I was cleared to eat normal food again until the last 3 weeks every time I'm hungry I get nauseas it's so odd that everyday at least twice a day I vomit just because I'm hungry and it's causing me to graze which I hate but I can't get hungry when I'm busy at work since I can't stop and vomit every 3 hrs ugh anybody else have this issue

Hey bb3586, I'm so glad you posted this! I felt exactly like that for the longest time. My surgery was in March and it wasn't until June that the nausea went away entirely. Although unpleasant, I think what you're going through is pretty normal. Give it some more time. Don't forget your body is still recovering from a major alteration. Hang in there!!

I watched a doctor's u tube video and he said gurgling can be helped by Water, one person also stated some anti diarrhea liquid helped her stomach to settle down, I have not even had mine yet but both of these are quite minor if you want to try. Just trying to help - checkout dr u tube videos. Good luck!

Also, one thing that helped when I was at work was having Snacks that were ok to munch on through out the day. I kept things like yogurt, string cheese and hard boiled eggs close by.

Just don't get too busy at work and forget to eat. That's when you'll run into trouble!

I think this could be related to your stomach acid!
A lot of surgeons say that even though you have a small stomach your body takes time to adjust- so for a while your stomach is producing just as much acid as if you had your old, large stomach!
This could cause you to feel very nauseous/uncomfortable and even make you vomit.

I was prescribed Omeprazole (Prilosec) 40mg daily for the first 3 months to help with this problem.

On the days I don't take it I feel very nauseous and could definitely throw up but I try and hold it back.

You could check with your doctor and get over the counter prilosec if you aren't prescribed/taking it already.

      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.
