I Feel Horrible

I'm never hungry when I'm hungry I eat like a bird. I drink Water all day long. I been having lots of headaches. I had a migraine yesterday & I was vomiting but what? I had nothing in my belly. I was so dizzy. I honestly feel like I'm dying. All my pants are falling off. I did lose weight. I'm now 161 pounds. Can someone advice me? I want to get better I'm over 2 months post up. I should be eating more. I'm sleepy. I do have more energy. But I feel horrible.

    I callede my doctor. He will schedule me for endoscopy to make sure everything is fine. For the mean time don't worry about eating just drink water all day until we can figure what the problem is.

Glad you are feeling better.

I am 12 days post op and I have days where I cannot get more than 400 calories in (like yesterday). I feel extremely full all the time even if I don't eat. I woke up this morning feeling like I have just eaten an entire pizza! Don't know if this is normal or not.

If anyone has experienced this before and know what is wrong, please let me know what was wrong with you. Maybe I can figure it out on my own before calling my doctor.

I had surgery may 30, 2012 everything went perfect! Liquid wonderful for 3 weeks went for check up & got put on solid & soft food. I started feeling blah. For 30 days I was vomiting everyday. I called my surgeon he saud it takes time. I put up with it. It went away. The past week (recent) I was really vomiting I could keep 1 spoon down. I saud something is wring. Called my surgeon he got concern & had the endoscopy doctor call me for appointment & come to find out my stomach completely closed. They made an opening so I can hold in food. So far had cheerios and it stood down. Listen to your body always. I'm glad I'm in this group ppl saying call the doctor you might have xxx and yes I'm lucky. If not for the group I would stay vomiting because I thought it was normal.

Miami thanks for the update!

Glad they figured out what was going on with you.

Did they have an answer why your stomach completely closed?

Actually they didn't tell me. They mention it happens sometimes but not to everyone. It's a rare case.

Try eating bananas fir potassium.

I had a minor episode of this, and my soft foods were put on hold. They gave me prednisone for a few days to open it, and it seems to have worked. I still haven't been able to eat meat or even fish, but I wanna avoid opening the hole up, as long as I am able to eat. I'm glad you found the cause.....it is so hard to know when there is a problem, or if it is just a routine part of the journey.

Update:

It wasnt in my mind. I had the endoscopy done & infact it turn out that my stomach closed,and they had to make a small opening to aloud me to eat after 24 hours of liquid. I hope this is the end,and all my issues will be gone.

I am glad that they found out what the problem was. I hope that you are eating normally again soon.

So glad you figured out what was going on. Hope you are back to your normal wonderful self!

I think this is pretty normal to feel full. At 12 days you can not eat much so 400 cal

May not be unrealistic....hower- make sure you are drinking your protien, if nothing else- thy should be a couple hundred cal at least.

Thanks Mrs. D. At least I am not alone in this journey. I try to drink my Protein drinks daily but it's so hard to drink at least three a day which would make about 570 calories. There are days where I can only get one Protein shake in as well as maybe an egg white and 3 cups of Water. I just hope this will get better soon.

At 12 days I was on all liquids so if you are having egg, you are getting more than I was. I'm 7 weeks and it gets much better. Just focus on protien, it will get better:)
