Problems one year out



Recommended Posts

It's been almost one year from my surgery, and I am down a total of 157 pounds. However I am still having issues after I eat, no matter what I put in my body I have a stomach ache almost instantly and spend the next 30 minutes on the commode or nauseated. I was told it was my gallbladder that we give me some of these problems and I am scheduled to have that out Tuesday, however I'm wondering if anybody still has problems this floor out with digestion. Will the gallbladder help once it's removed.IMG_1169.JPG

Congrats! You look wonderful. I am only 7 weeks post op and I am nauseous all the time. It doesn't matter if I eat or drink or don't eat or drink. The only time a feel good is when I am laying down. Started on soft food a few weeks ago, but now I am back on just liquids. The doctor thought that might help. So far, 2 weeks and there is no difference between food and liquid diet. Needless to say, I am mighty upset about this and don't know what to do now. Just wanted to let you know that I had my gall bladder out 2 years ago and a hernia out last year. Neither of these has helped me with the nausea, but maybe you'll be luckier than I have been. Wish you the best.

The gallbladder can definitely make you feel terrible. Hopefully its removal will make you feel better.

Keep us informed!

I'm currently having issues with my Gallbladder as well and it can make you feel awful. I'm maintaining mine with diet changes currently because I'm trying to wait until next year to have it out if possible but if I eat the wrong thing it's not pretty.

      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.
