So sick...

[musiclady2014 16]

I'm 16 days post op and for almost a week now I've been incredibly nauseous and can't seem to keep anything (including water) down. Tuesday was my 2week post op and ended up at the hospital for over 8 hours getting IV fluids pumped in me due to dehydration. I'm on two different nausea meds, but apparently they're not working.

I'm extremely weak, tired, and emotional. I beginning to regret this surgery. I mean, the weight is coming off, but being so sick is not improving my quality of life. And I'm half convinced the reason the weight is coming off is because I can't get in any nutrition - at all.

Anyone other have a similar experience that could give me hope?

I do. Absolutely. I am 7 weeks out and it has only been very recently that I am feeling better. I have had extreme nausea the whole time and was hospitalized 2x since my surgery.

I have been having the same issues, and thing were getting stuck and feeling tight. I kept asking about having an endoscopy and if I had a stricture. It was always no and no.

I had an endoscopy last Monday and had a stricture. They opened it up and I will have to have it done 1-2 more times (probably.)

After I recovered from the endoscopy I started feeling better overall. I am beginning to feel like it is tight again, so I am not letting them make me wait til I am half dead to do anything about it.

Make sure to be in touch with your dietitian. Mine has worked diligently with me to help me in the path of getting well.

Good luck. I regretted it to but am coming around.

Have you considered a possible lactose intolerance? I developed it post op and felt like crap until I figured it out. It has since lessened and is almost gone. Could be a possibility as it is not uncommon after surgery.

What are you trying to eat? And what nausea/acid Med are you taking?

Try drinking snapple diet ice tea it helps hope you feel better

low blood sugar can make you feel like this. take a few tablespoons of honey and see if this makes you feel better. i went through this as i had excessive swelling due to scar tissue removal and the difficulty keeping anything down lead to low blood sugar and lots of nausea. once i figured out how to get my blood sugar levels up to normal, i was able to get hydrated and started feeling much much better.
