So I started on soft foods... and ever since I have been so nauseous like morning sickness lasting all day. TMI after 3 months finally got my period. My body just feels terrible overall feeling weak, so emotional, and tired. I am trying to be active but when I walk and such my heart starts to race like crazy. Idk if it is just me everyone I know seems to be doing fine post-surgery, but I've been struggling bad. I don't even care about losing weight at this point I just want to feel better. Even drinking water is hard, its like I am regressing rather than progressing. anyone else experience this?

Yes! I have exactly the same problem. I am 4 weeks out and no longer able to tolerate purees or liquids. Constantly feel like I am going to throw up. Saw my Surgeon's PA yesterday who ordered an emergency upper GI series and it turns out I have a stricture!! They are going to do an endoscopy on Tuesday to try to stretch the opening between my pouch and intestines. I had RNY gastric bypass btw. Don't wait, call surgeon's office Monday if you're not feeling better.

I went to the ER (cant even remember but sometime this month) they did a CT scan and turned out normal they did say I had a (Can't remember will ask my partner [spleen])) Doctor said it is harmless. My brain is all clustered. I had the sleeve and honestly I am having so many regrets at this point, I am terrified of food now. At least when I was on liquids I was getting by on water. I have an apt may 1st, and I am in the middle of my college semester and really need to get good grades. I have been doing most of my work online already missed 3 weeks. So will they have to do another surgery for you?

I remember the day of my surgery having a heavy feeling in my heart not to do it and here I am really going through it. I really do hope everything turns out well with you.

I'm so sorry that you're having trouble at this point. I've read where some people have a similar situation as yours. I was lucky and never had the first problem with any of it. Good luck and I hope you get better soon.

I am trying to find posts and see peoples updates but can't seem to find any. I have its just an adjusting thing and nothing serious.

Thank you

Hi, Iliana00000, no, at this point I don't think I need another surgery. Just an endoscopy to stretch the stricture. I dont think you get strictures with the sleeve because they don't reattach your intestines. I hope you'll be ok. Maybe your surgeon will have some ideas tohelp you feel better.

Are you constantly thirsty?

Only from the medication they have me on - Carafate. How many ounces of fluids are you taking in a day? Maybe you're dehydrated

I don't really count but seems like a lot I am constantly thirsty. Maybe I'll start counting I also eat ice

Have them check your Iron levels, my mom had a Switch put in and after a while she was constantly eating ice. ended up being very iron deficient and needed IV.

So ice pics is a symptom of low iron levels? That is a good thing to know, hope that mother is better now.

Pica not pics, gosh I wish I still had. editing abilities, I key in the right words and then the Evil Spell- check or something rewrites my thoughts.???

nah, ma is gone.. Cancer got her in 2013. the funny thing was it was right where her switch was.

That is so odd that I believe you are telling me true. Can't quite make that up!
