Post Op March 2014



Recommended Posts

I'm six weeks post-op and am having a very strange experience. For the last week, pretty much anything I eat makes me very nauseated, even foods that I had been tolerating well are making me sick. Very odd. . . I have my six week follow-up appt with my surgeon and dietician today, so will hopefully get some answers to this little mystery. Congrats, everyone, on continued success! :)

That happened to me as week and it was a stricture

Hello all. I had my surgery March 11th. I have been back to work for a week and things are going good pain wise. I do however have a lot of issues with getting my Protein daily. Anything like chicken, eggs, beef, turkey......any meat or Beans I just can't keep down. Any suggestions?

I had my surgery March 12th and I'm having the same issues . Everything I eat it either comes up or I'm so nauseaed that I'm miserable. My doc thinks it may be my gallbladder. I find out Monday.

WOW, I had my surgery on the 18th of March and I'm doing great. What about stepping back to a full liquid for a bit, maybe your tummy isn't ready for solids yet? Can you tolerate yogurt, cream of Soups, cream of wheat or sf Jello? I know all that's boring but if your stomach isn't ready, it's not ready. I'd check in with your surgeons to make sure there aren't any problems but I've heard that some people just have to go slower. Good luck

I think I just might have to! I can do the soups and yogurt and jello. But all solids make me sick!

Ok Post-op Peeps, I need your help... I'm having bypass surgery on May 7th. My hubby's extended family gets together memorial weekend for the entire weekend 3 hours away. I don't want to tell them I had bypass surgery. I have Gerd/ Barrett's Esophagus. Do you think I will able to travel there 17 days post op? I will be on the puréed stage. If I am showing any signs of surgery, what can I say to cover up why I'm in pain ? Or what else could I be dealing with at that time? Thanks everyone!

You will on be like 2 weeks out. the drive may be difficult for you. You can tell them you had gallbladder surgery. That is what i told people I didnt want to tell about my surgery. After gall bladder surgery your abdomen is sour and you cant eat certain foods. HOPE THAT HELPS

Don't wait too long...I did that and ended up dehydrated and feeling miserable...I say go to ER if it won't kill you financially...I know some insurances have a ridiculous copay for ER visits...feel better:)

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
