Hi Laura, I've been very nauseous and wondering if I'm dehydrated since week 3. I've tried to get all my liquids and usually don't go below 50 oz. How did you know you were so dehydrated? I've been looking for the signs but wonder if I need bloodwork to really know. I hope you are still doing well. I'm at that "I think I'm regretting it stage".
Thanks.
Laura

I'm nauseous all day.

Thank you for that idea! I am going to suggest this to him on Tuesday because I'm miserable. They keep saying it will get better in time but they have done nothing to know if it is something structural. Considering I'm at 7 weeks and have had all the symptoms for 4 weeks this is ridiculous! Thanks so much again for responding, I so appreciate you!

Hi Tracy,
My surgery was about 3 weeks prior to you. Are you on solid food yet? Curious how many calories you are getting nowadays? My husband thinks I'm not eating enough or often enough. I'm at 500-600 calories.
Thanks so much for your response.

Thanks Spartanmaker, these are all good suggestions. Will be talking with my surgeon and nutritionist as well.

Thanks for your response, yes, I did check. It was 120 over 70 today so pretty good. Any other thoughts?

Just a quick update, my endoscopy showed that I had a significant amount of bile reflux. I haven’t had my follow up appointment with him yet to talk more about it, but it sounds like bile reflux can happen when you have bypass and also when you have your gallbladder removed, so that might be what’s going on. I also have a hernia that needs to be repaired. I’ll post an update once I gave my follow-up with the doctor in early November.

Thank you so much. I'm not vomiting Water or all foods yet so they want me to back down to pureed for now. Still feel like I have a rock in my stomach. I hope it digests soon. Thank you so much for your response, Will be interesting to see where things progress.

Thanks for the advice, they want me to wait and back down to pureed foods. If I start vomiting food and liquid I need to go to ER. I hope things don't progress to that point.

Hello Everyone,

I'm terrified that I have a stricture, as I've had a couple episodes of food coming up. But the last two days I have become more and more full as the days wears on and it feels like my stomach stays full. Tonight I could not get in enough food before my stomach started hurting. Does this sound like a stricture? If so, I've read an EGD and dilation is done. Does your bariatric surgeon do that? I ask because mine is on maternity leave so I'm scared of what will happen. How soon would this surgery take place? I'm hoping I can at least take Protein Shakes but I'm burping after every sip. Any advice or information from those who have gone through this would be great.
Thanks.
Laura

Hi Tomo,

Thanks for your reply. Are you saying you went into the office to get this taken care of? Did they put you under aneathesia?
