Vomiting & Nausea

I’m about 4 weeks post op and I throw up when I drink or eat anything. Followed up with my doctor yesterday and they sent me to get an IV drip for dehydration thinking it would help my nausea. After I did my two litters I still felt nauseated, when I try to drink or eat I throw up. The first couple weeks I did not feel this way. Has this happened to anyone? I’m really scared.

What are you eating and drinking? How is it being prepared?

At that time, protein shakes and flavored water made me sick. I stuck with regular lukewarm water. My food had to be completely tasteless and sugarless for me to eat it. I also had to be hydrated because I had pain in my knees.

Also, you may have to go back a phase on your diet until your stomach settles.

Ugh sounds like you're having a difficult time. I'm so sorry.

I experienced "the foamies" for the first time the other night and it was awful. They suggested I might have a stricture developing but I'm still hopeful it's just that my tummy wasn't quite ready for fish and needs more time so I've went back to full liquids.

If you aren't keeping fluids down, have they done an endoscopy to see if you have developed a stricture? If you have, please try not to worry, they can dilate it in a simple procedure so you don't experience these symptoms.

Much love x

Dang! So sorry you're having a tough time!!! Could it be a stricture? Is it EVERYTHING you eat, even water at different temps?
