Not feeling well



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 4 weeks post. I'm starting to not feel like myself. I was doing good til a couple days ago. My stomach is not feeling it best. Doesn't like my Protein shakes, Premier Protein, I can't keep anything down. I can only take in 2-3 small bites of anything. That 4th bite, and I'll be hugging the toilet. I feel bad to the point of not being able to walk or exercise. Water is starting to have a nasty taste. I've tried the MIO enhancers and I can't do it. Don't know what else to do. Please advice Please

I suggest calling your Dr to discuss. It's not unusual to only eat 2-3 small bites - especially depending on what you're eating. Are you measuring food and taking tiny bites, chewing and eating very slow? If you aren't able to keep liquids down - you need to call your surgeon.

3 to 4 bites is about normal at your stage. For me it was more like 2. No more than 1/4 cup and many times could not finish it or it would put me over the edge.

Try eating slower and smaller bites. That will give your brain time to catch up with your tummy.

If that don't work, call your doctor you might have something more going on.

The bananas and cream premier Protein shake is really good. I also bought some sugar free caramel Syrup (in the coffee isle) and some PB2 Peanut Butter powder and add either of those to my shakes and it enhances the flavor. Maybe that would help make them more tolerable.

If you are hanging out in the bed, that is the worst thing you can do. You need to get up and start drinking fluids. You guys will feel better.

You are likely tired, dizzy and nauseous and it all steps from not enough fluids and Protein. It's a good way to end up back in the hospital.....

Try drinking your Water at room temperature and your Protein icy cold. They do go down better that way.

I hope you get better soon.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
