Sleeved Nov. 29 and cannot eat or drink anything



Recommended Posts

Please help. I am having severe nausea sometimes with sometimes without vomiting. I am unable to tolerate anything. Water even makes me sick. Worried about malnourishment and dehydration. Fatigued and sleeping 18 hours per day. Not losing any weight. How long will this last? What can I do to get over this hump?

Have you contacted your doctor? If not it sounds like that should be your next step. You need to make sure everything is ok. I pray & hope you feel better soon.

I would agree...call your surgeon's office right away. At 2 weeks out you should be taking in & retaining more nutrients than it sounds like you are. Call the doc & let them know what's happening. Hope it gets better soon!

You really need to contact your medical team. You may have a stricture which will need to be addressed. Dehydration will land you in the ER. Give them a call today.

YES, MD or ER... Dehydration is a bad thing

I truly wish I had answers for you. I’m dealing with the very same thing. I was sleeved on July 25, 2013 and I’ve had a horrible time dealing with food - ALL foods. I am able to keep a Protein shake or half of one down, but not much more. I’m down about 74 lbs. but this is NOT the way I thought I’d be losing it. I had a EGD done last week and the doctor told my husband that my stomach appeared to be in good shape. I am so very worried. At first I was throwing up bright red blood, now I just immediately throw up anything I try to eat. After about three teaspoons full of anything I feel great pressure in my chest and up it comes. No more blood, thank God, but it is still daily. I’m tired, and my hair is beginning to be very dry (drier than before surgery) my skin itches a lot and when I scratch, wherever I scratch the blood comes to the surface. I feel good when I’m awake, but I’m tired, so tired. I believe I’m going for a second opinion, because I just don’t feel like this is what should be going on with me. I’m 63 and I’m too old for all this. It’s been depressing to say the least. Thanksgiving I had our whole family here, to the tune of over 300.00 and I could not eat a bite of anything and keep it down. But the doctor said I’m normal. So I guess it’s up to me to find out what is wrong here. If I can help you or answer any questions…let me know. I will be praying for you and all those with similar issues. Try to hang in there and at least keep Protein shakes in your fridge!! God Bless You.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
