Suddenly not feeling good



Recommended Posts

I have been on regular foods since I was 6 days pre-op. I know it was early, and I ended up back on soft foods for another couple of weeks. I have been doing FINE. Until yesterday. I started feeling kind of sick. Very gurgly stomach, not able to eat much. Im not sure if its food or the Water or if it could be my Vitamins, which have been REALLY GROSSING ME OUT!! I see the surgeon Thursday, I hope he lets me switch vitamins.

What do you mean by regular food? Like anything you want? How did it feel the first time eating after 6 days?

Just skip your Vitamins for the next two days to see if that helps. That way you'll have more info for your surgeon. Two days won't make a difference to your nutritional status... I wouldn't advise someone to avoid vitamins longer than that without their physician's ok.

If you still feel sick without vitamins, then you know to look elsewhere.

Keep us posted!

Yup. This was exactly what my surgeon told me to do if I felt sick.
Hope it helps the OP

Thank you! I didn't take one tonight, just the thought of it was upsetting my stomach. I hope it goes away by tomorrow, it's a horrible feeling. Thank you.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
