Getting Worse Instead of Better?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 10 days ago (3/10/11) and feel as if I'm getting worse, not better. Although I'm taking my PPI, I have awakened the last 2 mornings to severe nausea and vomitting around 7 am. Yesterday it was better by 10 am and i could drink liquids and have mushies. Today I am still nauseous, vomitting and cannot even think about drinking anything. In contrast, the first 8 days were pain- and nause- free and I felt fine, although weak. Any suggestions as to what I should do? Thanks in advance for all replies!

I agree, you should call your Dr.

Maybe you should just try going back to liquids only instead of the mushies. My Dr. told me to try each new phase of eating, (mushies, soft, etc) and if there was any nausea or pain, just go back to liquids for a few days and try again. It's really just trial and error in the beginning. Just listen to your new tummy, it will let you know.

Hope you feel better soon.

Wow! I am sorry you are going through that. Sometimes I also think my stomach is too small. It sometimes feels weird to drink, like in my chest, not my belly. I can't even imagine being on mushies as soon as you are. Good luck and I hope it gets better real soon!

I am 11 days out and it's the same for me. I am not vomitting nor do I have nausea but it does seem I am able to tolerate a lot less liquids than I was even 2-3 days ago.

I am shocked you are already on mushies as well. I was sleeved on the 16th and am on full liquids for 21 days. I would go back to liquids and see if that helps. But I sure would call your doc ASAP to make sure everything is alright.

I feel like hammered dog poo most of the time and I'm not even vomiting. I can't even imagine how you must feel. I feel just awful for you. I hope you're better soon.

Thankseveryone for your support! Am unable to tolerate cold liquids without major spasming so tried some warm broth and that went down OK. Think I will stay on warm liquids today, call my Dr in the morning and go from there. Having a support gorup like this is awesome!

Hi, Im Deanna I was sleeved March 14th. I still feel like crap too. I can feel every little mouthful that drips into my stomach. Im still on clears. I did try a Protein shake with powder, i guess I wasn't ready for that yet! I think I started to "dump" bad liquid diarrhea. did you come home with a drain? I did, I had some increased bleeding on the 3rd day. They told me my new stomach is still swollen at the suture line and this is normal.

Call the doctors and get a prescription for anti-naseau meds. You don't want to get dehydrated! Take care and I hope it gets better for you!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
