Hi friends! New to this group and happy to have found that something like this exists!

I had RNY on March 12 (it’s now March 16) and I have some questions....

I’ve been doing pretty good I would say up until today. I had a protein shake upon waking up...went to the grocery store shortly after and started feeling really nauseous. I didn’t end up throwing up, but I was dry heaving a ton! After I got home and laid down awhile, I had another shake (supposed to have 3 a day) and again, felt super super nauseous! This time I didn’t dry heave or anything, I just felt miserable until my nausea meds kicked in. I’m afraid to eat again because it was such a miserable feeling! Has anyone else had any similar things happen and can tell me if I should be concerned??

Also, side note, it seems that especially after consuming anything, my throat gets super gurgly to the point where it’s so loud the people around me notice it, too! Is this normal as well??

Like I said, new to this group and I appreciate any support!

The weird noises, yes!! Your shiny new toy wants to show off ???
The other symptoms sound like classic dumping. It started for me about the 2nd week and I felt exactly like you do as far as being afraid to eat again.  But don’t take my word for it and if it persists call your Dr.  Good luck and I hope you feel better soon

You might try doing your protein shakes at half- strength, thin it with skim or 1% milk, check out protein waters also, don't worry if you can only do 1-2 oz at a time, I'm 6 months out and I am still doing it, I confess I got a couple small glass, well I always called them shot glasses, from houseware dept of Wal-Mart, and that is what I use, I do one of them every 15 minutes, have varied low or no calorie drinks in fridge, and I am making my 64 oz easy and many days I make 84 okay. My pouch does not like it too much but we are doing 2 oz of protein, chewed well or pureed, and sometimes I do veggies that way. Why am I so slow with my diet? I have had ulcerations in my jejunem, a stricture in my pouch, I turned out to be one of those rare and complicated RnYers, but I am doing better, still not sorry for my surgery, had to fight uphill battle to get it, you see I am now 73, many programs would shown me the door, I will always be grateful for the chance at a future it gave me! I just get peeved at my body for making things slow but I too will have a victory!
The gurgly I never had, just keep drinking in slow, give your body a chance to let it slide down easy, and we're all a little different, but we are still wonderfully made inside. Post anytime you feel like it, no question is too small, we all want to help on here!???

It’s possible if your protein shake has lactose in it that you may be intolerant of it for awhile. If your protein shake is low in sugar it is likely not dumping.
