3 days post op troubles

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?

  • I would skip the egg this early out. Drink more protein shakes. Also - you may need an acid reducer (PPI). Try broth, sugar free popsicles to get more fluids.

  • Agree. Your stomach is probably not ready for the egg. Stick to liquids and protein for a while. Eggs were not on my plan until 3 weeks out. Stomachs need time to heal without working much to diges

    Just wanted to give an update. Tonight (again) I woke up with a wave of nausea but not nearly as bad as the night before, and no running to the bathroom and vomiting. I added more pillows underneath m

Eggs are tough for some people for a while. I still can't bring myself to even try an egg and I am almost 3 months out. You seem like you're getting a good handle on things; I hope it gets better every day!

My program asks us to wait til 8 weeks out to eat eggs (in a recipe is OK). Eggs can be hard to digest.

Are you taking some anti nausea meds? You may still need them. It's really common to have nausea the first several days.

Wow. I'm on liquid only for 2 weeks post op. I'm on day 8 after surgery. All I've had are premier Protein shakes and Jell-O Gelatin and pudding. Surprised you're eating sold food in eggs. I had RNY.

No eggs you are too early for that. ..just do liquids Protein shakes, Water, Soup broth. Your stomach is like a baby's stomach as they get older u introduce things slowly to them as far as food goes. So u have to do the same for your stomach treat ot like a newborn baby stomach..liquids for a while then purees for while then introduce certain solids. I dony know what your doctor has you on but i really didnt start back with solids until almost 2 months after my surgery

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.

I was on clear liquids for two weeks after surgery, then full liquids for two weeks, then pureed foods for two week, before moving on to soft foods like eggs.

That being said, it sounds as if your blood sugar is getting low. We're you diabetic before your surgery and are you still taking your meds for it? You might want to check your blood sugar levels when this happens.

Also, your doctor can prescribe some kind of acid reducer that you can hold under your tongue. That was a huge help for me.

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.
