Help!

Just had RNY on Aug 18. Can't eat enough protein and what little I do get doesn't stay in! I can't stay out of the bathroom. I start running within 5 minutes of eating and then keep running every 5-10 minutes. I can't even sleep through the night without getting up to run to the bathroom several times. Anyone else have this problem? How long does it last? Anything I can do?

Hi weightloss4liss... I think you should call your doc as you will become dehydrated very fast line this. The doc can call in a prescription for nausea medicines or others depending on the full extent of your symptoms. .. A small amount of nausea is normal but should not be affecting your sleep and you should still be able to keep some things down .

Call your doctor! I never had nausea except for when I was coming out of anesthesia. Better to be safe than sorry.

Wonderful weightloss4liss... How are you doing today?

I'm doing so much better, thank you! I've been quite hungry today, for the first time since surgery. I eat about 2 ounces of food maybe 5 times a day. But I'm so thankful to be feeling better :-)

I'm doing so much better today. Thank you for checking! I've been hungry today for the first time since surgery, so that is definitely a good thing :-)

Hi weightloss4liss! I had bypass surgery on 8/14 but have been lucky enough not to have any major issues. The hardest challenge I continue to experience is mental cravings. I just keep telling myself I didn't go through the past 11 months to mess up now. This journey will not be easy but hopefully rewarding!

Weightliss4liss so glad you are feeling better! Sometimes you just need a little help getting over a hump ( ie. the meds)

Had my first bought of nausea and vomitting yesterday. Note to self....never eating dry fish again!!! worse thing ever! It got stuck and then could not get relief for over an hour after throwing up a couple of times. Keeping meats moist is an absolute!

Sorry that you didn't feel well. I hate feeling poorly. But thank you for the memo to self....I will remember not to eat dry food!

Yup weightloss4liss... It is all about learning as we go. I had BBQ'd chicken today but put some dressing on it to help moisten and that went fine
