I thought I was getting better yesterday as I was able to keep down chicken broth. Today I am worse than ever. I can't even keep Water down. I am so tired and weak. Just want to sleep until I am normal again. I even tried taking zofran and that's not even helping. Any advice out there?

This has been an ongoing battle for 10 weeks. I have tried everything they have given me and had every test under the sun. Also been admitted 4x for dehydration and low potassium.

Go to ER. Low potassium and dehydration is dangerous. Please keep us posted.

I also think I may have low blood sugar at this point. I drank a small glass of soda and laid down. When I woke after an hour I felt 50% better. I have to get my blood sugar checked. I also get dizzy a lot lately.

I also think I losing to fast. I told my psych how much I lost and how quick and he was very concerned saying that's just way to fast.

You're not getting adequate nutrition. It's very dangerous. They need to figure out how to help you.

If you literally cannot keep Water down you need to go in ASAP. And I would demand answers.

I also don't know if soda is the best thing for you to drink. That in itself that early on would have made me barf. It was on my never again list.

I am certain the dizziness is from dehydration. I would take the zofran and go back to slow sipping Water. If you don't feel better tonight, go to the ER and have them call your surgeon.

The three most important elements after weight loss surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight.

You are at least 10 weeks post-op. If you can't keep Water down, you may have a stricture. If you are unable to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements, you need to seek medical attention and resolve the issue. Your problems may be caused by dehydration. They may be caused by a lack of Vitamins and minerals. It may be caused by reactive hypoglycemia. The fact that you were dizzy and took soda (sugar) rested and then felt better does point towards reactive hypoglycemia but you may have a whole slew of problems to deal with.

Here is a link to an article on reactive hypoglycemia post–gastric bypass. https://www.ridgeviewmedical.org/services/bariatric-weight-loss/enewsletter-articles/reactive-hypoglycemia-postgastric-bypass

The three most important things after surgery are fluids, Vitamins and Protein. Since you said that "when I drink Protein I throw instantly", have you tried MILK.

32 ounces of 1% milk fortified with 1 cup of powdered milk will give you 56 grams of Protein. You cannot drink this all at once but spreading this out throughout the day will help you meet your daily protein requirement.

      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...

      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
