I’m 5 months post op Duodenal Switch. For the last week I’ve experienced nausea early in the morning and again in the evening. I’ve thrown up a few times. I haven’t been sick at all since surgery, so I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this months after surgery? Thanks!

I get nausea on occasion, but have yet to actually throw up. Most of the time it's after I eat something that simply doesn't agree with me. The worst was after my nutritionist gave me the green light to add low carb bread back into my diet and I had a low carb wheat bread in which I decided I will NEVER eat wheat bread EVER AGAIN! I had brain surgery in 2017 and the nausea I had after that was the worst I'd ever experienced in my life UNTIL I ate the damn wheat bread! I was told you don't get dumping syndrome after having the DS or DS Loop but 15 minutes after I ate my stomach started to hurt sooooo bad and the nausea was HORRENDOUS! I was sweating and shaking and it was horrible! I took TWO anti-nausea meds and I STILL felt sick! So the sick feeling could be either something you added recently into your diet or from hunger (I get nauseous if I go too long without eating) or if you're female maybe pregnancy? (hopefully not though 'cause that's risky as hell 5 months out)

@TXDSI had a lot of issues the first 9 months. My surgical team was helpful. I’d give yours a call.

      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.
