Can't keep anything down besides water!



Recommended Posts

It seems that the only thing that settles in my tummy is Water. Everything else I get severe pain after swallowing, almost like a rush of heart burn. I throw up Jello, Protein drinks/shakes, and Soups. The only safe thing for me is water. I contacted my doctors office and they seemed like it was no big deal, to try and mix things together.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I am 1 week post op.

No, that was not my experience at all. I never vomited at all. If this keeps happening I would call back.

I had a hard time one week out two. I'm 3 weeks out today and couldn't really have any Soups or fish until week 2. It will get better. Stay hydrated. That's so important and just drink what you can throughout the day or your Protein Shakes and then add a little as you can. It gets better I promise.

Tomorrow will be 5 weeks post op for me. Although I didn't vomit, I would get sick from drinking too fast trying to make sure I got all of my Protein and fluids in for the day.

Make sure you are not trying to rush to get everything in. Try to start drinking early in the morning and take your time throughout the day. It will get better.

Eat slowly and pea sized bites. Nothing spiced. Spices can upset the tummy. If this doesn't work, call your doctor immediately.

Protein Shakes did not sit well with me post op. Try switching up your shakes? I used Unjury's chicken Soup. My nutritionist was worried it was too much sodium but I survived. lol!

Try Protein 2o. It tastes sort of like gator aid and has fifteen grams of protein. I love the grape and cherry and I find I can stomach those better in the morning when I'm prone to nausea. I'm also mixing my shakes with Water because I don't feel ready for creamy textures from skim or almond milk. Good 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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
