Food aversion and dry heaving



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I'm about two months post-op. Feeling better every day but I'm noticing some new things happening. I've tried, on two different occasions, to eat some like a tortilla with guacamole and have immediately and I mean IMMEDIATELY been overcome with the urge to vomit. Nothing comes up oddly enough but i get intense dry heaving. I then am no longer really interested in eating and just go drink a Protein Shake.

I know that people's food preferences change after surgery but has anyone experienced anything like this? It's too the point that anything with a sauce or dip makes me queasy to even think about trying. Just the sight of it makes me sick.

Just wanted to see if this was temporary or if I should move on from trying those types of foods anymore.

Maybe it's a good thing! Those sauces are usually never good for us. I'm hoping chocolate does that to me ! I get sleeved March 23rd.

I've had a lot of my tastes changed since the surgery. right when I was able to start eating food I enjoyed the tuna immensely, but now I can't stand it... I definitely cannot eat tortilla because it expands in my stomach and causes me to feel like I'm going to throw up even if I nibble and she would a hundred times it still irritates my stomach everytime

I have been having a similar problem but mine occurs after I have eaten. I get that same nauseous feeling and I all of a sudden feel like something is stuck in my throat. I cough a lot and then it eventually sends me to to the bathroom to throw up but nothing comes up except a dry heaving or spit that looks like foam. I spoke to my nutritionist about it today at my 3 month appt. Since I am currently taking 4 oz. of food per meal she wants me to go down to 2-3 oz. for 2 meals and a shake for the third meal and I will be following up with my doctor in 3 days if no change. I'm hoping that this helps and there is no other problem.

      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! 😞
