I am currently 2.5 years out after Gastric Bypass. I have had a lot of ups and downs but something new has started. I can eat and drink fine and all of a sudden I feel like I have a stomach virus and throw up any little sips I take. This usually last for about 4 hours and passes. I am not sure why this is happening and if it has happened to anyone else.

Start tracking your food again. Just so that you can have a timeline and hopefully locate a cause. It could be some form of dumping. Pay attention to what you are eating and how long between eating and the issues. Are you still paying attention to fat and sugar? Is your Water in take still really good? Curious if it's a motility issue caused by either a food type or a lack of water in the intestinal tract. Or it could be a stricture of the intestines causing a partial blockage with certain foods. Have you reached out to your doctors/surgeon about it?

Try instead of cups,mini-cups, a teaspoon slowly at a time. Sometimes Crystal lite, Imo or another gentle flavor over straight Water. I had my best luck with weak herbal tea that was warm. And I will be 3 months/13 weeks from my own RnY tomorrow ,still prone to vomiting et all. You see I have the dubious honor of being one of less than 5% that have it as rocky as I have had. I developed a stomal stricture and 5 post-surg ulcers, but with my surgeons help and my own inner strength I am and will be healing. And I do not regret or malign my surgery. A little more than 1 year ago I was 100 pounds heavier, in pain and no much of a future ahead. Although I do heal slowly, at 72 you often do, I will heal, reach my goal weight, be much smaller, but the 2 most important facets. I will be alive and have a much better future. I'm almost always on here and I ❤ helping others along the way!👸😛👼

      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.
