So sick 6 months post op



Recommended Posts

Hello, have you been eating anything different recently such as fattier foods? I am also six months out and have noticed that I had to go back to the basics of Soup and softer foods for awhile because I have been nauseous lately as well.

Please call your surgeon on Monday or asap and discuss it with them.

Agree with @JessLess. If you can't keep fluids down today, this is an ER visit. This can be many things at 6months. But generally, you don't feel nausea and food aversion like that at 6 months.

If you have pain associated with this nausea, you should call your doc this morning and discuss if this is an ER visit. It could be simple Constipation, a bug, too deep in ketosis (probably not), stricture, ulcers, or worse, a tortion (partial obstruction) from a twisted gut or internal hernia.

Or it could be gallbladder, appendix, pancreatitis, so many things and many of them are true emergencies.

Hope you get to the bottom of it quickly and begin feeling better.

Is it a long term thing or has the nausea just recently happened?

I'm writing for my friend she was found fine until she got severe esophagitis they had to put feeding tube in through nose.

So I had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday they admitted me into the hospital ran some tests this morning and I have a hiatal hernia

Interesting! I had one that they fixed in surgery. Glad they solved it, should be easy to take care of right?

I go in for surgery Thursday morning. Should be a simple fix.

They said eveytime I swallow the hernia blocks my stomach so nothing is going in the only option it has is to come up that explains why I have done nothing but vomit. I'm just ready to feel better again

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
