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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
