Some problems eating post-op



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I drank some Protein Shake and my stomach was just fine with it. Today I drank the same Protein shake and a few minutes after drinking it I felt nauseated. It's getting better now after drinking some other Fluid half an hour later but I'm not entirely feeling good right now.

I wonder if this was early dumping though I'm not sure why yesterday it was fine and today it wasn't. I already had this experience two days ago. Both times the same food and in the morning it wasn't ok, in the evening I tried again and I felt perfectly fine.

Anyone else has this problem?

It likely isn't dumping. I had MONTHS where the same food would be okay one day and not the next (sometimes even during the same day). I don't have an explanation for it, but just to say, you are not alone. I have read it from many people. Often times you can go back to that food in a week or so and it is just fine.

Thanks for your answer. It always feels good to know that you're not alone with certain things.

I had some cold sweats about 20 min after eating and felt very weak. That's when I thought it could be early dumping after all. I drank a chamomile tea after vomiting and my stomach settled again.

Today I ate twice so far and it feels fine. Not sure if I should risk a Protein Shake today.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
