Almost 5 weeks out and feeling constantly nauseous

[iliana00000 16]

So I started on soft foods... and ever since I have been so nauseous like morning sickness lasting all day. TMI after 3 months finally got my period. My body just feels terrible overall feeling weak, so emotional, and tired. I am trying to be active but when I walk and such my heart starts to race like crazy. Idk if it is just me everyone I know seems to be doing fine post-surgery, but I've been struggling bad. I don't even care about losing weight at this point I just want to feel better. Even drinking Water is hard, its like I am regressing rather than progressing. anyone else experience this?

Yes! I have exactly the same problem. I am 4 weeks out and no longer able to tolerate purees or liquids. Constantly feel like I am going to throw up. Saw my Surgeon's PA yesterday who ordered an emergency upper GI series and it turns out I have a stricture!! They are going to do an endoscopy on Tuesday to try to stretch the opening between my pouch and intestines. I had RNY gastric bypass btw. Don't wait, call surgeon's office Monday if you're not feeling better.

I went to the ER (cant even remember but sometime this month) they did a CT scan and turned out normal they did say I had a (Can't remember will ask my partner [spleen])) Doctor said it is harmless. My brain is all clustered. I had the sleeve and honestly I am having so many regrets at this point, I am terrified of food now. At least when I was on liquids I was getting by on Water. I have an apt may 1st, and I am in the middle of my college semester and really need to get good grades. I have been doing most of my work online already missed 3 weeks. So will they have to do another surgery for you?

I remember the day of my surgery having a heavy feeling in my heart not to do it and here I am really going through it. I really do hope everything turns out well with you.

I'm so sorry that you're having trouble at this point. I've read where some people have a similar situation as yours. I was lucky and never had the first problem with any of it. Good luck and I hope you get better soon.

I am trying to find posts and see peoples updates but can't seem to find any. I have its just an adjusting thing and nothing serious.

Thank you

Hi, Iliana00000, no, at this point I don't think I need another surgery. Just an endoscopy to stretch the stricture. I dont think you get strictures with the sleeve because they don't reattach your intestines. I hope you'll be ok. Maybe your surgeon will have some ideas tohelp you feel better.

Are you constantly thirsty?

[Briswife15 890]

Only from the medication they have me on - Carafate. How many ounces of fluids are you taking in a day? Maybe you're dehydrated

I don't really count but seems like a lot I am constantly thirsty. Maybe I'll start counting I also eat ice

Have them check your Iron levels, my mom had a Switch put in and after a while she was constantly eating ice. ended up being very iron deficient and needed IV.

So ice pics is a symptom of low Iron levels? That is a good thing to know, hope that mother is better now.

Pica not pics, gosh I wish I still had. editing abilities, I key in the right words and then the Evil Spell- check or something rewrites my thoughts.👈😭👉

That is so odd that I believe you are telling me true. Can't quite make that up!
