Nausea Trouble

I am having a difficult time with nausea. I had my RNY on Feb. 16th.

Wednesday was a good day, and I added some V8 juice to my diet. Slowly, 1 Oz at a time. By 9pm, I was in the bathroom, vomiting and very sick.

I called my surgeon yesterday, and he asked that I come right in. He "smelled" dehydration from my lungs, and was a bit concerned when he felt my belly around the incisions. He was a bit surprised at how tender I still was. So, he had me wheeled over to the ER for IV fluids and a CT scan. It came back normal, which is great.

Today, I started with just cold Water to drink for a few hours, then had a sugar free popsicle. For lunch, I had 3oz of bariatric pal cream of chicken Soup. About an hour ago, I started getting nauseous again, and I'm uneasy. I know I need fluids, but I really don't want to push it and start vomiting again....

I've created a closed Facebook group called Bariatric Surgeries 2016 if anyone would like to join! I still have to schedule a date for my surgery, but I'd to receive/share pre-op, post-op, and any advice others have!

That sounds rough going! I haven't had surgery as yet, planning on a gastric bypass, so I don't have any advice...but I have sympathy! I hope you hold down some fluids soon. Keep us posted!

No, not really. Even at the hospital, only Reglan worked for the nausea.

Reglan is nasty stuff. Are you familiar with the side effects? It can cause tics that may or may not resolve when you stop the med. My son was on it for a while as an infant due to motility issues. He did develop a tic, but it thankfully cleared up once the med stopped.

If it's a motility issue, low dose erythromycin sometimes works.

I only had 1 dose of Reglan. Just enough to let me keep down that nasty stuff you have to drink for the CT scan...

I was only had nausea for like a week after. I took finnegran (sp?) and it helped me. Hopefully yours will get better soon!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
