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

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!
