First day of solids nausea :(



Recommended Posts

So today I'm currently 14 days post op and down 17 pounds which I'm very excited about! However, after being on the long liquid diet, I was so ready and excited to finally be able to have some scrambled eggs, and after maybe 3 forkfuls, it was just total nausea and reflux for the next hour. I have been taking my acid reducer so that's not the issue :( I am just starting to worry about how long it will be like this for because I'm feeling pretty miserable. Any advice?

I started solids today as well, surgery was 1/4. At my appointment with my NUT today, she said eggs used to be on the plan for this stage but they've found they make a lot of people sick. I've been nauseous all week, dehydrated, and thankfully one of the things I surprisingly can have is reduced fat ritz crackers, which have helped immensely, along with the 2 bags of fluids they gave me at the hospital through the iv.

Your new tummy is figuring out how to work again. I needed the full 8 weeks before I started feeling normal, before swallowing and eating wasn't painful, before I could tolerate stuff. It's very common to have this feeling of nausea when trying foods out on your new stomach. I read that a lot of people have a hard time with eggs at first. (I hate eggs so no eggies for me.)

I'm 3 and a half weeks post op. I tried eating a scrambled egg for my phase 3 on January 7th. Threw up all day! So I'm back to liquids! I did talk to the doctor and they let know that some people adjust quickly, others take more time! I'm really hoping to eat soon! I love Sushi!!

Has anyone tried poached or hard-boiled eggs instead of scrambled? I've heard that WLS patients handle them much better than scrambled eggs.

I just started this phase yesterday so I haven't tried them yet, but my NUT said its the yolk that gives people a hard time. So I could see those as a better, gentler option provided the yolk was not eaten.

      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!!
