Glad you went back to hospital! I am also 7 weeks out with bouts of nausea and vomitting. The Anti nausea medicine made me sickeR!!! Ativan (sp?) helped me - it's an anti anxiety drug...it allowed me to get some sleep and sips of grape Gatorade! Good luck!

I haven't had to take nausea medical they gave me because I been feeling good. are they giving you fluids in the hospital and did they take blood tests to see what your lacking such as Vitamins and potassium because my hospital first gave me everything I was lacking and then they gave me for acids reflux and nausea medical at the hospital and gave me something before I ate but started me first on liquid diet when I was getting food back in

Did they tell you what was wrong. I am currently going through this now and my doctors are at a loss. The tests say everything is fine but I am in pain and can't eat or drink.

You should probably have a swallow study done. You may have a blockage or some swelling that is causing the problem. If it is swelling somewhere, that is usually easy to solve. ANY vomiting needs immediate follow up this soon after surgery. Hope you are feeling better soon!

I had that problem when I was 8 weeks after surgery (i am 11 weeks now), i started to have pain after eating solids while it was fine up to week 7th, i barely get any Fluid in so I went to see my family doctor who told me it was either strictures or inflamed stomach, he increased the ppi dose for me and put me on fluids only for few days, i am feeling very well now and i can tolerate some solid foods again thank God.

I will get barium swallow test next week to see if i have stricture (i hope not).

Good luck.

I had the same problem but mine was associated with bad pain. Every test came back clear and was fine but my doctor did blood work and I got pancreatitis. Which they don't know how because I don't have a gallbladder and I don't drink alcohol. Could have them test for that, if you are having pain. Mine got worse when I moved to the pureé/ solid stage.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
