Upset, cannot get in water or protein



Recommended Posts

I had rny and gallbladder removal May 2nd. First two weeks... great! Water Protein in ,no problem.

I am 1 day shy of 1 month and doing and feeling miserable. Most days I can get in 35 oz of water approx. But protein is usually less than half or worse. I cannot take Vitamins because my stomach is empty and water is very hard to get in somedays, like today. My stomach hurt, I feel overly nauseous. Very close to tears. I typically have a high pain tolerance... but not for nausea. Acid reflux hurts and I am already up to two doses a day.

Waiting on doc office to get back to me. I dont know what to do.

Other people that have mentioned this ended up having a stricture. I haven't had surgery yet, but it's good you contacted your doc. Hang in there!

I dont believe it's a structure, luckily. I can tolerate food... not any issue with it going down etc.

Its the nauseating repulsed feeling Iget about eating that is getting in the way. I get intermittent stomach pain though.

Can you do sugar free popsicles until you hear from Doctor? At least get some Fluid in? Or is it too painful/nausea inducing? Crystal light pure (made with truvia or stevia...no aspartame)?

Try iced green tea, or warm Decaf tea diluted, or peppermint or ginger tea. Fluid is critical. Even though I had the sleeve, I had food aversion and it sucks, it does pass with some time. Smells bothered me too. The warm liquid before food may relax the muscles somewhat. Maybe you can get medication for nausea from your surgeon. Good luck.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
