3 days post op troubles

[KristenLe 5,980]

I don't know what it is, but I keep waking up in the middle of the night, dizzy, with a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach; then a wave of warmth and nausea comes over me and I have to run to the bathroom only to dry heave.

I haven't even started purée because I was advised not to. All I've been doing is sipping a Protein shake once a day, eating a scrambled egg, drinking 4 oz of Gatorade and the rest of the day is Water. I have no appetite.

I don't really understand why, so randomly in the middle of the night my body wakes me up to dry heave. Am I doing something wrong?

Only 3 daya and ur eating eggs and drinking Protein shakes? Thats may be why. I was only allowed Clear Liquids (water and gerbers fruit splashers), then it was 10 days of full liquids, then puree for two weeks, then soft foods for two weeks (ie eggs, cheese, bananas).... u should just be concetrating on sipping Water and liquid.. listen to ur body, the eggs may be way too much for u.. taking it down to just clear liquids may help.

Not all plans are the same. We drink Protein Shakes while in the hospital and purees starting day 8. Protein is critical to healing and my program feels it's better to have shakes immediately.

My plan allowed for (runny) scrambled eggs as soon as you could tolerate them after surgery...everyone's plans are different. It is possible that eggs are just not sitting well with you right now. I would take a look at your Protein shakes and make sure it's not higher in sugar than others out there. There are some that are ridiculously high in sugar and sugary liquids can cause irritation and "dumping syndrome-like" symptoms like sweating, shaking, chills, heartburn, etc.

Hope it calms down for you soon!
