You need to call your surgeon. There could be an obstruction or kink. I had similar issues with nausea and not being able to eat or drink and I was admitted to the hospital while they figured it out. They will most likely tell you to go to ER, so be prepared for that. But you definitely need to call your surgeon ASAP

That's really brutal, must be tough to be going through!

I have totally lost the sensation of hunger at 3 weeks post op, but I have no problem getting lots of Water in.

It's possible you have developed a stricture in your sleeve. I would recommend contacting your surgical team post haste, just in case. Maybe it's a normal stepping stone on the way, but you'd be better off knowing for sure.

Have you called your surgeon to rule out a stricture?

I agree with pixidust on this one. Call your surgeon! Its one thing for things to just not taste good, but to go for 3 days and get NOTHING down and have the sensation to throw up all the time, I would think something was wrong. Please call your surgeon. Better safe than sorry. Also, you must be dehydrated by now!

At the very least you may need some IV fluids to help hydrate you. This is not normal.

That happened to me too. I had a metallic taste in my mouth that was preventing me from eating and drinking. This also happened to me while I was pregnant. I bought the salty prunes (saladidos I don't think I spelled it correctly) and it helped take the taste away and I was able to eat and drink (I did not eat them just lick them before Eating and drinking) I also switched my Water.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
