8 days post op gastric bypass

[Midwest Girl 29]

Hi I’m 8 days post op gastric bypass and I still feel miserable. The pain is a lot better but I feel nauseous and don’t want to eat. I hope this nausea doesn’t last forever. When does it go away?

You shouldn't be "eating" this close post op anyway... you should be on full liquids and purees only.

It does not last forever and it will go away and you'll be fine once you heal up.

Just stay strong and focus on all the reasons why you wanted the surgery. it *WILL* get better.

How are things going @ Midwest Girl? Is October treating you any better than the waning days of September did?

Hi Frustr8,
I’m doing much better. Got through that rough patch. Just a little pain still from my incisions and threw up once from eating too fast. In the puréed stage. Thanks for checking on me!

Are your throwing up different than they were pre-surgery? Mine sure have changed and I wondered if thats common?

[Midwest Girl 29]

I never threw up pre surgery except when my lap band was filled. This recent episode started with the foamies and then a little nausea and the food just came up.

:-I* belch and gag and then it k8nd of rolls out, and sometimes I don't belch , i foam for a second. and it rolls out, and the final one I can feel Precious Pouch clench up and then start pushing it out, that's the closest,to projectile vomitting..
And I know human anatomy, really I do, but it feels like Dr Needleman removed Precious from the abdominal cavity,and placed her on top of my diaphragm, when she is actively cramping and spewing, I can " splint" her by putting 2 fingers across above my topmost trocar scar between my breasts at the bottom of my sternum. And there are times she hurts so much, out pro0or589th 59 5he size she m7st be. Am 8 the onl6 9be this happens to?

maybe if you could read past,my Smartphone's rambling . Lets see, out of proportion to size she must be, I wonder if I am the only one this happens to? There, nice and slow and it almost makes sense, doesn't it?

[Midwest Girl 29]

I looked at your history. You have an EGD scheduled? That’s good.

And my friend Kathie ditched on me, now I need to find alternate transportation. If I can't do Friday , I can't be assured another until post Thanksgiving, and possibility January 2019. So I am racking my brain.
