I need some help. I had gastric bypass just one week ago and it has been the WORST week of my life!! I am so sick, in pain, gassy, emotional, just about every thing negative you can think of has happened to me in this last week. I just got out of the hospital again for severe dehydration, I can't keep ANYTHING but Water down, im nauseated literally all of the time. Im so dizzy and lightheaded that I can't even see past my hand in front of me. I don't know what to do...I don't want to live on IV bags any longer and my doctor doesn't seem to care since I can keep water down. I just really wish I had never done this to myself, but since I can't go back in time, I would really love to hear from other people who have experienced this and any advice on what I can do and how you got through it. Thank you Summer Gonzalez bypass: 7/26/16

The first two weeks are the hardest!! I was able to appreciate my surgery when I started feeling better and losing weight. Know that the pain will go away! Give yourself a good month to heal. Don't be discouraged! We've all been there, thinking the same thing! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thanks so much. I really need to see the light at the end of the tunnel Summer Gonzalez bypass: 7/26/16

Thank you all for your replies. As far as the Protein, that's an absolute HECK no!! I have tried premier, Atkins juice protein, syntax nectar in about 8 flavors, soy protein, nothing. Even the smell makes me vomit. Same things with the Vitamins. Ive tried them crushed, I have chewable AND liquid vitamins and all of them come straight out. My doctor just told me I will have to come in at least once weekly for IV solutions which really makes me sad. I'm nauseated literally 24 hours a day. I can keep down Water but I can't stand this nauseas feeling. To be honest with you guys, I am feeling really upset with myself for ever doing this surgery. I had no health problems and did it only because I wanted to be "skinny". What I wouldn't give right now to go back and give my past self a look into the future...I feel like I sold my soul to the devil for the sake of vanity!! Summer Gonzalez bypass: 7/26/16

I had my surgery on the 26th. I was in so much pain that I kept wondering WHY I did this to myself! Now I am super gassy ughhhhhh so uncomfortable! I pray that I will feel better soon... Summer Gonzalez bypass: 7/26/16

. Mine just eased today... I had a bowel movement and wow! Game changer. I feel somewhat normal! I'm only a day ahead of you...maybe tomorrow:). I admit that I 'cheated'- I had a regular cup of coffee.. 1 Splenda and a splash of skim milk... 30 minutes later and I was good to go. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App That's good news! Thank you for sharing. I am scared to have a bowel movement....was in painful? Sorry if thats TMI.. Summer Gonzalez bypass: 7/26/16
