3&1/2 weeks out with New Nausea

[Carre 2]

Hi,

I'm almost 4 weeks post op. I've not had nausea until yesterday & then again today. It came on Super strong out of no where. At my 3 week follow up the doc placed me back on liquids because I was having really bad pain trying to get the soft foods down. Anyone else on here experience this. What was the issue? This nausea is awful

I had my gastric bypass on March 9th. I woke up this morning at 4 feeling good then about 6 I started feeling nauseated it was horrible. I tried some of my Protein Shake, it didn't help. what causes this.

is it right after you eat? If so, it could potentially be a stricture. I had two - at weeks 4 and 8. Or it could be that you're advancing your diet too quickly for your stomach. You may have to take it slower.

What are you using for your Vitamin supplements?

it's when you have overgrown scar tissue that narrows or closes the entrance to the small intestine. You get to the point where you can't keep anything down. It's an easy fix, though. They do an upper endoscopy and stretch it out. It just takes a few minutes, and they knock you out so you don't feel a thing.

I'm not saying it is for sure - you may just be advancing your diet too fast and your pouch isn't ready - but if it keeps up, I'd call my surgeon.

Thank you, it hadn't happen anymore. Its now everything I drink taste awful. even the almond and soy milk taste and. My shakes taste bitter. Its hard to drink all that Water and Protein. Only thing decent is 91st hello and Soup broth and it don't taste right. I realise that I woke up at 4 and didn't put nothing in my stomach till 6. Besides the gastric bypass they had to repair a heidia hernia and 2. Ventrica hernias in my muscle walls.how long will it be before things taste right. I'm now on full liquid and some puree food. I'm also lactose intolerant
