Nausea and Pain 3 weeks post surgery

[aks200417 1]

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my surgery and everything was fine until a few days ago. All of a sudden I've been having what can best be described as stomach muscle spasms. I called the doctor and they gave me some muscle relaxers. And also I've been experiencing nausea, which I didn't even have after surgery! I can't keep anything down--- I can barely keep a Protein Shake down but I definitely haven't been able to keep down this "puree" diet! Will this ever pass? Like I feel like this isn't right, is something wrong with me???

Perhaps you are suffering from a stricture. http://www.dartmouth-hitchcock.org/bariatric/risks_of_bariatric_surgery.html and https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=134&ContentID=155 Although I have not seen stomach muscle spasms as one of the symptoms. Most strictures occur suddenly several weeks after gastric bypass surgery.

Today was my 3 week post-op anniversary and I'm pretty nauseous as well, though I haven't had any vomiting thankfully. Hope you feel better! Keep your chin up and contact a doctor if you're worried.

I had a lot of nausea and stomach pains around 2 or 3 weeks and was vomiting. My surgeon gave me a prescription for some meds that calmed my stomach acids and I was able to eat and drink just fine. Sometimes it takes awhile for your stomach to adjust.

Thanks jjmama luckily my stomach spasms are gone! My nausea isn't as intense with my medication. Just waiting for this period to be over!
