Upset, cannot get in water or protein



Recommended Posts

I had rny and gallbladder removal May 2nd. First two weeks... great! Water Protein in ,no problem.

I am 1 day shy of 1 month and doing and feeling miserable. Most days I can get in 35 oz of water approx. But protein is usually less than half or worse. I cannot take Vitamins because my stomach is empty and water is very hard to get in somedays, like today. My stomach hurt, I feel overly nauseous. Very close to tears. I typically have a high pain tolerance... but not for nausea. Acid reflux hurts and I am already up to two doses a day.

Waiting on doc office to get back to me. I dont know what to do.

Other people that have mentioned this ended up having a stricture. I haven't had surgery yet, but it's good you contacted your doc. Hang in there!

I dont believe it's a structure, luckily. I can tolerate food... not any issue with it going down etc.

Its the nauseating repulsed feeling Iget about eating that is getting in the way. I get intermittent stomach pain though.

Can you do sugar free popsicles until you hear from Doctor? At least get some Fluid in? Or is it too painful/nausea inducing? Crystal light pure (made with truvia or stevia...no aspartame)?

Try iced green tea, or warm Decaf tea diluted, or peppermint or ginger tea. Fluid is critical. Even though I had the sleeve, I had food aversion and it sucks, it does pass with some time. Smells bothered me too. The warm liquid before food may relax the muscles somewhat. Maybe you can get medication for nausea from your surgeon. 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?
