Gastric bypass surgery revision



Recommended Posts

I had a revision surgery on the 4th of February from sleeve to bypass due to bile reflux. I keep losing weight and I think I look sick smaller...and darn it I wish I could stop throwing up and having fatigue. My nerves are shot I'm constantly depressed more than before. My senses have gotten more sensitive. I'm wishing now I just stuck with the sleeve. I have been in the hospital 3 days due to low Vitamins...potassium, magnesium and was dehydrated. Will things get better or am I stuck not eating regular food anymore..? I'm scared and hurt. All I can think about is my depression and my regrets. Actually I wish I was large again...at least I wouldn't be sick and could eat what I wanted....please help....I'm tired of pain and sadness and sickness....

I don't have any advice, but I wanted to just say I'm sorry you're going through a hard time :(

Maybe, are you restricted? Has your doctor had any good advice, has he listened to your concerns?

Hopefully someone will come along with some good advice, in the meantime, try really hard to keep your spirits up!

(((hugs)))

I am so sorry you are having a hard time. It has to be frustrating for you.

In terms of your senses being more sensitive, that did get better for me. Those first few months are rough and I do remember the smells and tastes being out of whack.

Has the doctor provided any insight as to why you are vomiting so much?

It would help to know where you are at with your food plan. Does everything make you vomit or just certain things? Are you able to get Water and Protein shakes down and keep them down?

For me, once I was able to really get after the Protein and Water I started to feel better and be stronger.

I hope you get better soon!

      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.
