4 Weeks Post Op.. Issues



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am 4 weeks post op and it seems as though I am beginning to have some issues :( I am completely exhausted all the time.. And still don't feel like myself. I am still having difficulty w getting in my Protein and Water. As of last night I am now getting extremely nauseated after I eat. The food feels stuck and then I vomit. My next appt w my surgeon is next week but ugh! I also have pain in my lower abdomen

Your body is gonig thru some major changes, you are feeling exhausted because you are not getting Protein and fluids in your body. I would call your surgeon... I hope you feel better soon .

jny I am going through same thing. I am a month post op as of today. I feel like I have attacks every other day and it leaves my stomach feeling like someone used it as a punching bag for a day afterwards. I was not sure if its foamies or gallbladder or stricture. but I am pretty sure if it was a stricture it would happen all the time not just every other day. but I did call my surgeon this morning and I go in tomorrow so he can scope me. when you have your "attacks " does it make it hard and painful to take a deep breath? mine does and when I do makes me more nauseated. and it lasts about an hour and last night (sorry tmi) I vomited about 15 times

It definitely does make it hard to breathe! It's the worst.. I feel like I had less trouble a week ago than I do now. I understand that things are healing but good lord how can I go what I am supposed to do when I feel so crappy? OMG.. We have the same surgery date!!! Keep me posted on what you find out from your surgeon. My appointment is on Tuesday

I will. I just don't know what it is. I would think if it was the foamies I would remember eating or drinking to fast. but one time was just a sip of Water taking my synthroid.

Do you have you been taking any Vitamins?? I take Bariatric fusion chewables and it has helped my energy level a lot. Also y doctor puts everyone on Prilosec to help with all the belly issues. Hope you feel better soon! :-)

I felt like that until I had some real GOOD bowel movements. I felt like a new person after getting all the crap out of my system. Drink Water and take something if you need to...it was like night and day for me. Best of luck to you.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
