10 weeks in an nausea all the time? Help



Recommended Posts

I'm 10 weeks in to my Gastric Bypass, after a failed Lapband. I have had a big problem finding food I can eat and getting the required Protein. I was 379 lbs at my surgery and I'm already down to 301 lbs. Which is awesome for me, but Protein Shakes make me vomit almost right away after 6 weeks of nothing but the shakes.(2 weeks before surgery and 4 weeks after) I thought I could get protein from fish and shakes but can't seem to get them down, and stay down? Small slices of cheese along with a couple crackers and Peanut Butter are almost a daily staple. As is very thin deli sliced lunch meat. I had a florascope and everything looks good? When I get hungry, I get nausea and after I eat I get nausea. I throw up about 50% of what I eat. I guess it's dumping syndrome cause I get alot of hot flashes right before I get sick. I tried GNC for other options but spent alot of money on stuff that didn't work? Did anyone have these issues? And any recommendations on food that is easy to keep down? Fish,eggs and milk have been very hard for me so far? My blood work was all good but low in Iron which I take a med for now. I can deal with not eating much, but I'm miserable being nauseous all the time. I've had my Dr. Give me scripts to ease feeling nauseous but nothing seems to work? Thanks for any light y'all can shed on my issues!

What does your doctor say? I don't think you should be that nauseous at 10 weeks and you shuld be able to eat at least 6oz per meal. I don't know what a florascope is. I am going into my seventh week and starting regular foods on Monday and I am happy to say I have only thrown up twice when something was stuck. Have you tried chewing three papaya enzymes after ypu eat? It helps your food from getting stuck and helps with digestion. They are perfectly safe.

      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! 😞
