Can't keep anything down besides water!



Recommended Posts

It seems that the only thing that settles in my tummy is Water. Everything else I get severe pain after swallowing, almost like a rush of heart burn. I throw up Jello, Protein drinks/shakes, and Soups. The only safe thing for me is water. I contacted my doctors office and they seemed like it was no big deal, to try and mix things together.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I am 1 week post op.

No, that was not my experience at all. I never vomited at all. If this keeps happening I would call back.

I had a hard time one week out two. I'm 3 weeks out today and couldn't really have any Soups or fish until week 2. It will get better. Stay hydrated. That's so important and just drink what you can throughout the day or your Protein Shakes and then add a little as you can. It gets better I promise.

Tomorrow will be 5 weeks post op for me. Although I didn't vomit, I would get sick from drinking too fast trying to make sure I got all of my Protein and fluids in for the day.

Make sure you are not trying to rush to get everything in. Try to start drinking early in the morning and take your time throughout the day. It will get better.

Eat slowly and pea sized bites. Nothing spiced. Spices can upset the tummy. If this doesn't work, call your doctor immediately.

Protein Shakes did not sit well with me post op. Try switching up your shakes? I used Unjury's chicken Soup. My nutritionist was worried it was too much sodium but I survived. lol!

Try Protein 2o. It tastes sort of like gator aid and has fifteen grams of protein. I love the grape and cherry and I find I can stomach those better in the morning when I'm prone to nausea. I'm also mixing my shakes with Water because I don't feel ready for creamy textures from skim or almond milk. Good luck.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
