Throwing up most everything I eat or drink.



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on jan 20/14 and all went well. I have been sipping and taking it easy but I still can't really drink or eat anything without throwing up massively. When I do try I get that lump in my chest then really bad pain and then my body can't take it and up everything comes. I am soooooo thirsty and dry, I just want something to stay down. I am dairy intolerant so it's harder to find things to eat. I can kinda handle warm tea, Jello, ice tea and some plain Soup crackers but that's about it. I am wondering if anyone else has been in this boat and if it goes away and what things I can do to ease the pain and help my body get back on track so I don't end up in the ER on IV. Help....

Ps, I've tried Protein Shakes, mushed up banana, soft eggs and apple sauce but nothing stays down.

Try a little juice with real sugar cut with Water. It'll be high carb so you can't get into the habit of it but it really helped me get liquids in early on. It just goes down and sits easier.

If you are throwing up everything you need to call your doc. Do you have nausea meds? do you have stomach spasm meds?

Please call your Dr. This is not normal. Do your best to stay hydrated. Suck on ice cubes. That's more important than eating at this stage.

I definitely agree to call your doc but please don't have anything with sugar in it ; this is bad advise. Also make sure to be following your diet plan and to measure everything and eat very slowly; use baby utensils and bowls.

When I do throw up its like egg whites or white foam. I have a Dr appt on the 26 of Jan and will make sure I ask her about it. I just want to drink Water as I love love water but I find that's the worst to drink.

I do have acid reflux meds and some gravel that has helped a bit but I am at a point that I just don't want to eat or drink. I know I have to.

I had my surgery November 8 and I do that, it's horrible :( I thought I was the only person. I call my doc and he says with my weight loss being where it is I'm fine!!! He did a swallow test and said it was normal, that is where you swallow a liquid (of which I have no problem with) I am at a loss!! The nest step I guess would be a ga doc

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
