I'm 5 weeks out an my stomach feels awful all the time. It always feels gross. Kinda nauseous kinda hungery but no matter what I do it don't feel better. I do fine with Protein it's not easy but I get shakes down. Not doing well with other fluids. Not getting to much food nothing taste that good but keep trying. I just can't get past this yucky feeling in my stomach all the time. This normal???

I was going to say I felt that way at first. When I went to my follow up my surg who also is a gastroenterologist put me on nexium and ursodiol (to prevent issues with my gall bladder). Since then as long as I take the nexium I don't have that feeling. It was horrible.

Did your surgeon prescribe anything to help your stomach? Mine prescribed Omeprazole and I'm to take it before Breakfast for the first three months. I had my surgery at mayo Hospital. Here's what's in my Mayo book: "Some people develop a blockage at the opening of the stomach despite efforts to follow the dietary guidelines carefully. Common symptoms of a blockage are persistent nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. If you are closely following the diet guidelines and these symptoms continue longer than 2 days, contact your health care provider." My advice to you would be to contact your doctor's office. You don't want to take any chances.

It could be the spacing of your meds. I felt nauseous when I took my psych meds in the morning so I switched to night.

Have you been giving zofran or anything to help with nausea?

How are you doing with your psych meds? That's the thing I worry about most of all.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
