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?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
