I am currently going through the same thing and im 5 weeks out. Intense nausea so i can barely eat or drink without feeling ill. After a week like this im starting to feel much better. Can at least drink enough water but food is still not going down well. My surgeon doesnt seem to be worried though so im not worried anymore.

Yeah I called my doctor also and he said this will pass!!! I am not worried just feeling sick!!!! It's getting better I was able to eat this morning and I'm gonna get me some protein ensure today

i felt like total shit the first 8 weeks after surgery. i ate too fast and foamed, never got enough Fluid in. some days only 200 calories. into my third month when i was able to drink more than little tiny sips i started feeling so much better. i think it's the tight swelling of the tummy combined with the shock of your digestive system getting constipated (i was impacted a couple of times). what made me finally feel best was going to the ER, getting a bolus bag of IV (one bag in an hour) then a second one over time, and they gave me some crazy powder that caused me to (i know TMI) FILL my toilet bowl within three days.

constipation makes me sick, then i can't drink cuz it's gross then i get dehydrated then i get more constipated. try to find something you can take every day to keep you regular. being dehydrated makes you feel nauseated too. and when you eat too little you get weak and dizzy. it sucks. but it does get better!

good luck!
