Need some ideas...

[lynmar 23]

Hi all - My surgery was on July 25th and I've been doing great up until the last 2 or so weeks. I started feeling nauseated when eating, drinking and in between meals/snacks and at first I thought I was taking too big of bites or drinking too fast, so I tried to slow it down. It seemed better for just a bit but came back quickly. I then thought I caught a stomach bug of some sort but its been about 2 weeks now and only getting worse. I have also tried taking gas-x and again I thought it worked yesterday but has come back worse today. I feel sick when I eat anything or even drink Water and also at night when I am sleeping, so I know I'm not getting enough fluids or Protein . I've had an emotional month as well with my moms declining health and passing a few weeks ago, so maybe I just have my stomach all in knots. I don't know what it is, so I need to stop guessing. I have just emailed the Dr to ask for help, but wondered if any of you have experienced this or have any ideas on what this could be.

It might be a stricture. https://www.realself.com/question/stricture They generally occur around 4-8 weeks post-op. You noticed symptoms at around 10 weeks. The fact that you are even having problems drinking fluids tells me this is abnormal. So work this problem out with your surgeon.
