Nausea and Pain 3 weeks post surgery

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my surgery and everything was fine until a few days ago. All of a sudden I've been having what can best be described as stomach muscle spasms. I called the doctor and they gave me some muscle relaxers. And also I've been experiencing nausea, which I didn't even have after surgery! I can't keep anything down--- I can barely keep a protein shake down but I definitely haven't been able to keep down this "puree" diet! Will this ever pass? Like I feel like this isn't right, is something wrong with me???

Perhaps you are suffering from a stricture. http://www.dartmouth-hitchcock.org/bariatric/risks_of_bariatric_surgery.html and https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=134&ContentID=155 Although I have not seen stomach muscle spasms as one of the symptoms. Most strictures occur suddenly several weeks after gastric bypass surgery.

Today was my 3 week post-op anniversary and I'm pretty nauseous as well, though I haven't had any vomiting thankfully. Hope you feel better! Keep your chin up and contact a doctor if you're worried.

I had a lot of nausea and stomach pains around 2 or 3 weeks and was vomiting. My surgeon gave me a prescription for some meds that calmed my stomach acids and I was able to eat and drink just fine. Sometimes it takes awhile for your stomach to adjust.
