3 1/2 weeks post-op, vomiting every day



Recommended Posts

11/7/16 RouxNy, on pureed stage of diet ....... I was doing great, had no problems until the start of my 3rd week... 1st day I took my chewable Calcium and within 1/2 hour I was in agony and eventually throwing up, next day my morning too my morning medication, I was spitting up and throwing up for an hour and 1/2, next day I had scrambled egg to be sure something was on my stomach ahead of time and then I was sick for 3 hours. Called my doctors, they told me to stop taking Vitamins & supplements for a few days, just to take my omeprozole (but go back to opening it up and putting into something, rather than swallow) I felt great yesterday until I ate some lunch, which was a pureed Bariatric recipe and again sick for hours. Today I took steps back and went back to shakes and Water, I was fine most of day. After taking omeprozole in a bit of shake, I began to feel sick. It brews until it spews and this lasted for hours and hours. Please let me know what you think. Has anyone else experienced this. What do you think is making me sick? Thank you in advance for your input & help.

I would call your surgeons office again.

I do know that sometimes RNY patients need to take a step back and go more slowly. Other than that, I know some folks develop a stricture that can cause some of this.

Dont be afraid to call them as much as you need to.

Sorry you are feeling so badly.

I had my rny 10 years ago and generally have no issues. I do still dump usually with sugar which is the hardest thing for me to eat. I do have problems with shakes. I know they keep the sugar real low but they are all so super sweet tasting and if I am not really slow in drinking it It will make me sick. I cut it with Water which helps some but I am getting the unflavored kind and mixing it in Soups and with broth. doing much better that way.

Like djmohr, one of my first thoughts was....stricture. I had two of them - one at 4 weeks out and one at 8 weeks out (they usually happen within the first 3 months after surgery)

I also had my bouts with Strictures. Mine started around the end of Aug, my surgery was in July. I went back to my Dr for a check up and the PA stated that they should do an ENDOSCOPE. I told him that I thought it was just me taking one bite to much. Because the food seemed to set on top of my pouch and then it went down slowly. At Thanksgiving I fixed a meal for us. I couldn't even hold down Water. BOOM had my ENDO and dialation, In Nov 2013, Dec 2013 Jan 2014 July 2014. With my last being done Jan 2015!! So far I have been great. Oh yea, I had an Ulcer plus they removed 2 or 3 Staples that had come undone and were in my pouch. Yes, it was hard. But if you ask me if I would have it done again? I would say with everything in me IN A HEARTBEAT!!

I was exactly the same, they changed my anti sickness and everything settled now back to pureed foods with the occasional small lumps added. Best of luck.

      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.

      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.
