3 1/2 weeks post-op, vomiting every day



Recommended Posts

11/7/16 RouxNy, on pureed stage of diet ....... I was doing great, had no problems until the start of my 3rd week... 1st day I took my chewable Calcium and within 1/2 hour I was in agony and eventually throwing up, next day my morning too my morning medication, I was spitting up and throwing up for an hour and 1/2, next day I had scrambled egg to be sure something was on my stomach ahead of time and then I was sick for 3 hours. Called my doctors, they told me to stop taking Vitamins & supplements for a few days, just to take my omeprozole (but go back to opening it up and putting into something, rather than swallow) I felt great yesterday until I ate some lunch, which was a pureed Bariatric recipe and again sick for hours. Today I took steps back and went back to shakes and Water, I was fine most of day. After taking omeprozole in a bit of shake, I began to feel sick. It brews until it spews and this lasted for hours and hours. Please let me know what you think. Has anyone else experienced this. What do you think is making me sick? Thank you in advance for your input & help.

I would call your surgeons office again.

I do know that sometimes RNY patients need to take a step back and go more slowly. Other than that, I know some folks develop a stricture that can cause some of this.

Dont be afraid to call them as much as you need to.

Sorry you are feeling so badly.

I had my rny 10 years ago and generally have no issues. I do still dump usually with sugar which is the hardest thing for me to eat. I do have problems with shakes. I know they keep the sugar real low but they are all so super sweet tasting and if I am not really slow in drinking it It will make me sick. I cut it with Water which helps some but I am getting the unflavored kind and mixing it in Soups and with broth. doing much better that way.

Like djmohr, one of my first thoughts was....stricture. I had two of them - one at 4 weeks out and one at 8 weeks out (they usually happen within the first 3 months after surgery)

I also had my bouts with Strictures. Mine started around the end of Aug, my surgery was in July. I went back to my Dr for a check up and the PA stated that they should do an ENDOSCOPE. I told him that I thought it was just me taking one bite to much. Because the food seemed to set on top of my pouch and then it went down slowly. At Thanksgiving I fixed a meal for us. I couldn't even hold down Water. BOOM had my ENDO and dialation, In Nov 2013, Dec 2013 Jan 2014 July 2014. With my last being done Jan 2015!! So far I have been great. Oh yea, I had an Ulcer plus they removed 2 or 3 Staples that had come undone and were in my pouch. Yes, it was hard. But if you ask me if I would have it done again? I would say with everything in me IN A HEARTBEAT!!

I was exactly the same, they changed my anti sickness and everything settled now back to pureed foods with the occasional small lumps added. Best of luck.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
