8 weeks post RNY and nausea

I had my surgery on July 31. All had gone well. I was feeling a bit tired here and there. If I ate too quickly I would vomit. So I was able to slow down and got with the program. That was until 3 weeks ago I got a boil under my armpit and about a week later i popped. I started having body aches nausea and fever. I went to the ER on Monday last week because the fever wouldnt stop and another 3 boils started to come out. I was put on antibiotics and sent home. Since then I cant barely eat anything or take my fluids. I dont even like anything I used to like. Not even the ice from my ice maker. The smell of food makes me gag. Liquids too. Yesterday all I had was a popcicle and 1/4 diet snapple also ice and bits of water. Today I forced myself to eat 1/2 of a tiny tenderloin of chicken breast. What can I do? I am scare, I feel exhausted and constantly salivating.

CALL YOUR SURGEON FIRST THING IN THE MORNING FOR ADVICE. IF YOU GET WORSE THROUGH THE NIGHT, GO BACK TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

I echo...call your doctor and demand to be seen.

Thanks. After getting my ears pulled by my doctor I have gotten my act together. The constant nausea he says is due to the lack of fluids and protein. I was dehydrated his office is at the hospital tower so he ordered admission to monitor me. The IV is horrible but after the 3 bag I felt better. I had a small pouched tilapia w cilantro my husband brought and started by chewing crushed ice. I feel muvh better now.

Drink Protein and ice chips even if you lose it keep drinking otherwise you will end up in the hospital.

So glad you are better. Drink, drink, drink, the key to success.
