Pik I'm so glad that they found the problem. have they scheduled you for the endo yet? Rosetta

I am glad that they have a plan, Plz hang in there and keep us posted.

Pik, pls keep me informed :unsure: gentle hugs

Oh No Pik, you must have at least 40 to 60oz of water a day to keep your kidney from failing is your urine dark and are you urinating less. You need at least 60gm of baractic protein to keep you from starving, your hair will fall out and you will have kidney and liver and heart problems. Are you taking bariactric Vitamins? it's a must you have to take them daily. Does your dr. know this please contact them you might have to be hospitalized to hydrate you. and give you some nurishment.

I know the stuck feeling, My Bariactric doctor recommended for me to see my gastroenterologist and she looking at my surgery records to determine what test I might need done. Are you getting enough Protein and Water it's a must It takes me 16hrs sometime to get in but you have to or you will be malnurish. I hope things get better for you

But you are losing it faster so thats a good thing. I hope it doesn't last as long as mine with no end in sight. I am only eating 900cal. a day including Protein if I try to eat anything other than fruit it really flares up. and if I eat or drink more than 4ozs I will almost vomit.

I had my gastric bypass on April 9th 2014. And I am still suffering with severe nausea I have been of Zorfan, and now I on Phenergan. Has anyone else experienced this long term nausea.

I was 59 I turned 60 in June, I never gave it a thought but I had to have the surgery because I was developing type 2 diabetes and my thyroid was causing the weight gain and even though it was controlled with meds I have gained 80lbs in 2 years but last December I was gaining 5lb a month. My weight lost has been slow I have only loss 28lbs. but I feel a lot better and my blood sugar is normal. I am not noticing and wrinkles or sagging skin. I think the slow weight loss also aids with stopping sagging and wrinkling

Thank you MarathonGirl

My prayers are with you

Its been very slow with me from the begining its been slow but steady, I'm on 900 cals 60 to 80 grams Proteins. My surgery was April 9th and I've only loss 29lbs but my surgeon says as long as I am losing I'm going in the right direction.

Well I am no longer nausated and I've stop vomiting, but I haven't lost any more weight I am eating right around 1000 cal a day or less so I will see my doctor on wed. and hope for the best.

I had a gastric bypass I spent 4 days in the hospital and I had a 4 hour exploratory lap the morning after because I had a small bleeder. My husband had to go back to work the day after I got home, he is a Trucker Driver and he could only get 7 days off. So I was alone for 18 days before he returned. We made sure I had everything I needed before he left. It was hard but I made it my surgery was on April 9th 2014. I have a body binder but it is too uncomfortable for now I give it another month and it should be fine.

I too am 6 weeks out and nauseated most of the time. I saw my nutritionist today. She fears I'm not eating enough. I'm also having "gut" issues with a decent amount of diarrhea. She thinks that from a lack of fiber. She suggest I move my multivitamin and take it 45 minutes after eating. I had been taking them in the morning which might start my day off feeling so bad. She also wants me eating 2 oz of protein and 2 oz of fruit/veggie with every meal. Even if it takes me more than 25 minutes, she would like me to try to get it in. I have also been using saltines which seem to help some. I usually eat one about 30 minutes after my meal or when the nausea is unbearable. She told me this was fine and to continue doing this if it helps. Thanks Amy

I am 6 wks post op and I am nauseated after eating or drinking 4oz or less I am taking medication for the nausea popsicles does not help does anyone have this problem? I am struggling to maintain my Protein and Water intake I am just not able to take in 60grams of protein whether in liquid or bar form.

It's been very slow for me even though I can't eat but 2 to 4oz every 6 hours or I will throw-up. I wonder if my pouch will ever heal? I'm so tried of throwing up.

Wait about a 2 mins to make sure it's in your pouch if not you will start to reflux. I'm 4 wks out and learning everyday.

I am 4 wks post-op and I made a mistake by eating a piece of bacon and trying a little salad I have been throwing up all night remember no beef or pork it does not break down I found out to late. stick to applesauce, and mushy fruit, mushy beans make sure semi-solids are chewed until liquified. Keep your protein 60-80gm a day.

I am 4wks out and I also eating greek yogurt and a protein shake I tried salad a big mistake, I have been throwing up all night so I back on yogert and shakes. I have lost 4 more lbs total of 13lbs.

Am so glad you spoke with your doc. See what they say about the calorie intake. This way I will also know how much should be the intake. But yes the protein amount is correct which my doc also said to stay in that range. I love this forum...we learn so much from each other and support each other and want to see each other succeed. What type of protein do you use I'm having a hard time drinking the Bariatric Advantage and the high protein ensure.

I think it's def the bacon and the fats in it. Has your doc allowed you to have bacon? Maybe try turkey bacon? For now my surgeon has said no red meat or pork for 6 months out. Also 1000 calories is a lot early on. Has you doc said to take in 1000 calories a day? Every surgeon varies. For now my intake is about 500-600 calories a day max. Even that is still a lot for me. I mainly drink a TON of Water and also I am 5 weeks out. I just received a call from my doc and you are right no bacon or red meat, I don't know how I skip that part. I will have to ask about the 900 cal. a day she might give me that allowance to get the 60-80gms of protein in.

I'm 4wks. Post-Op. I'm finally taking in 90gms of Protein and staying around 1000 cal. for 4 days. But last night I ate 2pcs. of baon making sure I chewed it well. but I started to throw up and I threw up all night and until 9am this morning I couldn't lay down with out throwing up. So I am having a yogurt now and It seen the thowing up has passed. could it have really been the bacon?
