I am 26 days out from my surgery. I haven't eaten anything in about 6 days....and before that another six days. I have the dry heaves and I throw up. I had to go to the ER last Saturday because I was dehydrated.....and I'm on the verge of it again. I always feel like there is something in my throat. And when I spit...this white throthy spit comes out. I feel like crap everytime I have a little sip of Water. The ER doctor also did a CAT scan, and everything looks good. I don't know if anyone has dealt with any of these symptoms... if so, please help!

Call your surgeon. They may need to do an endoscopy. In the meantime, try taking a PPI to reduce stomach acid. Then sip liquids at different temps to see if you tolerate one better. Try tea, broth, sugar free popsicles, flavored water, Powerade Zero. Feel better soon!

Water makes me sick, I for some odd reason can tolerate water in the early morning hours of the night from 2am-6am I sip every hour and I sleep sitting up it helps go down smoother, that's just me though I'm not saying you have to do the same. I drink sweet tea and unsweet tea through out the day. Protein sucks but I'm forcing myself little sips at a time. My surgery was 8/03

You know what I'm going to suggest-----CALL YOUR BARIATRIC TEAM!!

Enough is enough, don't you think, Friend. 26 days out and your are this ill??

Call your team and GET SEEN.

FEEL BETTER!!!

Post back and let us know how you are doing and what your team said and did.

We care, really we do.

Did your surgeon recommend a acid reducer or PPI. Are you taking zofram or an anti-nausea medicine. I would call them. They can help! You might have a stricture. Good luck!

I do have zolfan, but I can't keep anything down. I see my surgeon Tuesday.

Don't wait until Tues. Please, Call and see whomever is on call TOMORROW.

I sure as hell wouldn't be waiting around.

What you are experiencing is abnormal and you should have been given instructions from your surgeon on what is normal and what is not.

Not taking in any Protein and nutrients for two six day periods when you are only 26 days post op is not safe.

Don't wait around.

I tried what u said. I stayed up wayyyy late (early morning) and I was able to get cold water down with no problem... while laying in an upright position. This has made me feel a little better about my situation. Next is trying to drink during the day....and be able to eat something.

@@slusher1006 Just focus on liquids right now - don't worry about eating anything yet. Drink lots of fluids including protein shakes or drinks. Good luck. I would still suggest calling your surgeon today.

Obviously see your docs immediately as our friends here have suggested. If you have any unflavored Protein powder, like unjury, maybe try and mix that into your Water. Basically disappears and doesn't thicken it much. Even a half or quarter scoop will give you something.

If you still have your gallbladder, ask for an ultrasound of it. I was sleeved on 7/7. I had two good weeks and then four miserable ones. They finally discovered that my gallbladder was bad. After they took it out, I was able to get liquid and Protein in. I have an 11 inch wound though and am in a lot of pain.

Good news! I have been able to drink all day today... not alot...but at least something. My husband bought me Pedialyte and some unflavored Protein powder.... every now and then I have a lil nauseous feeling... then I breath through my nose slowly....and try to think about something else. I also lay on my side and stretch everything out... which helps a whole lot. Tonight I will try oatmeal with my powder mix. Today has been tough... having to leave my house and ride in our truck... but the best day in 2 weeks! I love this app so much! I seriously started getting depressed and totally regretting this surgery!
