Everything makes me queasy!

[jeromysgrl 0]

Hi! I’m 5 weeks post-op RNY and everything I eat makes me queasy! I mean everything!! I spoke with my physician and they said it’s normal and to give it time. Has anyone else experienced this?

I did find at first that a lot of things gave me mild queasiness. It does get better although there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. One day I will eat something and I’m fine, the next day I eat the same and get queasy or shaky

is this all the time or mostly after you eat? Are you a bypass or a sleeve patient? If all the time, things should get better fairly soon. I remember the first few weeks were kind of tough. Remember to eat slowly and if your stomach doesn't seem ready to move on to the next phase, then don't....take your time.

If you are a bypass patient and it's mostly after you eat, there's a chance you could be developing a stricture. If slowing down doesn't help, keep your surgeon updated. If it's a possible stricture, they'll do an upper endoscopy and stretch it out if they find it (easy, painless "fix" that'll make you feel better right away, if that's what it is). You are in the right time frame for that - they almost always occur during the first three months post-surgery. I had one at four weeks and another at eight weeks. If you're a sleeve patient, though, this is probably NOT what it is. From what I understand, sleeve patients can get them, but they're VERY rare in sleevers (they happen to about 5% of bypassers)

I'm 6 weeks out from RNY and dealing with regular vomiting. There's not really any rhyme or reason to it. Something I ate easily yesterday makes me vomit today. Water sometimes. My pills/vitamins sometimes. My family knows now if I say get out of my way, I mean now, as I dive for the bathroom or the sink.

My RD told me that some of us are just lucky... lol... and it will pass eventually. Eating slower (glacial pace, chewing a teeny bite a gazillion times) and taking smaller than small bites helps. I actually made it all the way through the day yesterday, until my bedtime pills got stuck on the way down.

Hang in there... if it carries on much longer, I'm going to follow up with my clinic again. I suggest you consider the same.

I just posted about this, I’m in the same boat but it’s meat that makes me sick, the thought of having to eat it makes me want to vomit but, I know it’s a necessity for Protein.< /p>
