DADDY_BUTCH 1 Posted August 19, 2016 I vomit nearly everything. Even just a sip of Water will come up in seconds. Going on day 5 of this. Nurse says it's because I tried to eat solid food too early, even though surgeon said it was ok to move forward. Nearing the 1 month post-op point...few days. I average 2 episodes of vomiting per day since surgery. Blood has started to come up. Nurse didn't seem worried about that. This is " normal"?

mohairbears 37 Posted August 19, 2016 The nurse is right . Also try to eat incredibly slowly don't gulp it down . Try not to let yourself get really hungry by having lots of small meals throughout the day ... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted August 19, 2016 @@DADDY_BUTCH If you can't keep Water down you will be dehydrated or are already dehydrated, if you are dehydrated, then you will have an even harder time eating or keeping anything down. If your Dr won't see you go to the ER, TODAY. You can't go 5 days without hydration and nutrition and no one should be throwing up blood. @@mohairbears They are throwing up blood and you are talking about eat slow? Are you serious?

judanna77 45 Posted August 19, 2016 I agree that you should demand to see your surgeon today, and if that doesn't work, then go to the ER. It is definitely not normal to not be able to keep anything down, and you are most likely already dehydrated. From what you've said, you might have a stricture (scar tissue that is narrowing your stomach so that only tiny amounts of food.liquid can pass through.)

Catmom4 149 Posted August 19, 2016 It is NOT normal to vomit blood or to be vomiting almost everything! I'd go to the ER....and I'm a nurse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
