so during the night, i woke up with slimes feeling super nauseous. as i tried to relax & get control of the nausea (sitting up in bed), i start throwing up! i had to run to the bathroom where i threw up hunter green bile non stop for like 5 minutes! so much for thinking those days were over

im feeling sick to my stomach. i highly doubt im going to be able to eat anything today. my throat is burning still from the acid of me throwing up & i feel like i may need to throw up again.

it seems never ending. my gi dr told me that he doesnt think my food aversion is stent related. he said hes not sure why i am having a food aversion but that hopefully "itll pass". THATS THEIR ANSWERR FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i swear i think ima punch the next dr in their face if they tell me itll pass one more damn time!

WELL...... 5minutes after writing this post, i got out of bed to go brush my teeth & wash up & began throwing up again.

Jasleeve,

I'm so sorry to hear that you are feeling like crap again. I hate to throw up, so I don't know how you tolerate it. The best thing I can say about being on Nexium, is that when I throw up, there is no acid taste. The Nexium seems to be really effective in eliminating my stomach acid.

I wish I had a solution for you. But all I can think of to say/do is to pray for you. So I am praying right now for you to be healed. I have faith in Jesus, so I have to believe that HE will answer our prayers. God bless and keep you. And again, I am so sorry.

Love and Hugs and Prayers coming your way rightnow.

i just threw up again. i drank a bunch of gatorade today to stay hydrated & i threw it all up. smh. i called my nurse practioner & shes telling me to call my upper gi dr to see what he says. smh. seems like no one has any damn answers & im being sent on a wild goose chase.

Jasleeve,

Has anybody suggested or discussed a Zofran pump with you? It is similar to an insulin pump, in that it pumps a small continuous amount of Zofran (anti-nausea medication) into your system. I have seen several pregnant women with severe nausea/vomiting who had to have a Zofran pump implanted. It seemed to help them. That might be something that you could benefit from.

Anyway, just a suggestion. Prayers continue!!!!

I've been nauseated since I had surgery and was told the same thing,,if my nexium and zantac doesn't help for me to call the gi. Today I'm vomiting too,,smh too.lol I'm still thinking about ya and hoping all will pass and you'll feel much better real soon. I hope it will all be a bad memory and things will start looking up. Keep trying to drink,,I know it's hard to throw it up but your body will consume some of the fluids and you obviously need them really bad with all that you are going through.

i never heard of it. i think the drs look at this matter like its minor or will pass. i dont feel they look at how severe it is since its the outside looking in. im so sick. i cant get in touch with the gi dr

Couple things to consider, I could not tolerate ANY Vitamins for two months. They all turned my stomach and left me ill. I stopped trying to take them and that helped a lot. Now i can tolerate anything. Try fish, not fried it is easier on me than shakes. You mentioned in one post that u get 50-100 oz o Fluid. That is a huge swing!! 50 isnt enough and 100 is just inside good so the days ur at or near 50 your deficit is to great for the good days to cover. Try to get in 80 minimum everyday. The thing is from what you have discribe your surgeon cant do anything to help but an iv. You havent discribed anything that sounds like an improper proceedure. It is in your hands now to work on figuring your body out. That was really hard for me. I had never listened to my body before and was clueless in how to do that.

I would suggest that for the next week you focus on 80 oz of liquid and pick only one of two Proteins to experiment with. Keeping in mind that under eating you stomach is what you want to do. Try eating one oz of whatever Protein and then leave it alone for 10 mins and then try one more oz another 10 min and a final oz. keeps you under ur pouch size and you will have time to see how its sitting.

The burping can be cause by eating to fast as that induces air into your stomach. Also do not use a staw to drink.

It is what it is, slow methodical progras is what you will need to make from this point. Your gonna get there. Chin up, push forward.

We are all pulling for you.

I'm worried about you! Scared you are going to be dehydrated I hate hearing you are throwing up and it seems to be EVERYTHING! If you go to the hospital is there any chance they will give you fluids or admit you? It makes me so mad for you that they just keep sending you to one another!!!! GRRRR!

The depression can really set you back and feeling nausea and vomitting can really make you depressed. Have you tried chicken broth? I would strain campbell's chicken noodle Soup and add some injury chicken broth flavor Protein and the warmth helped soothe my tummy down. I also ate a lot of sugar free pudding with Protein Powder and suagr free Jello. Personally I could not tolerate baby food. I got slimey's a lot my first month or two out they are gross.
