I don't have any advice, but I can relate... My surgery was Aug 25th and I've pretty much been ever since. Even worse, I haven't lost much weight over the past few weeks. Nausea and throwing up for hours anytime I eat more than a few bites, struggles to get enough Protein and Fluid, general frustration and extreme lack of energy. I have a follow-up next week, hope to feel better soon! Sending prayers your way!

Did you have the sleeve? I had the same problems i actually had the scope and stricture procedure. Then suffered for three years with reflux. Had the gastric bypass November 7. Feel a little sick today (my own fault for eating turkey too soon) but other than that, feel great. Hope the scope helps.

Strictures are not the only cause of nausea and vomiting after surgery. According to the internet:

Nausea and vomiting are the most common complaints after bariatric surgery, and they are typically associated with inappropriate diet and noncompliance with a gastroplasty diet (ie, eat undisturbed, chew meticulously, never drink with meals, and wait 2 hours before drinking after solid food is consumed). If these symptoms are associated with epigastric pain, significant dehydration, or not explained by dietary indiscretions, an alternative diagnosis must be explored. One of the most common complications causing nausea and vomiting in gastric bypass patients is anastomotic ulcers, with and without stomal stenosis. Ulceration or stenosis at the gastrojejunostomy of the gastric bypass has a reported incidence of 3% to 20%. Although no unifying explanation for the etiology of anastomotic ulcers exists, most experts agree that the pathogenesis is likely multifactorial. These ulcers are thought to be due to a combination of preserved acid secretion in the pouch, tension from the Roux limb, ischemia from the operation, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, and perhaps Helicobacter pylori infection. Evidence suggests that little acid is secreted in the gastric bypass pouch; however, staple line dehiscence may lead to excessive acid bathing of the anastomosis. Treatment for both marginal ulcers and stomal ulcers should include avoidance of NSAIDs, antisecretory therapy with proton-pump inhibitors, and/or sucralfate. In addition, H pylori infection should be identified and treated, if present.
