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!

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

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 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.

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.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
