Consistently feeling icky...6 weeks post-op



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else just feel icky all the time after surgery? Not debilitating but I just feel slightly pukey almost al the time. When I’m hungry, after I eat, in-between...I go about my day just fine only have this gnawing puke feeling constantly.

What surgery did you have? Do you feel constantly over full? Do you have difficulty swallowing? Do you vomit or just feel like you're going to?

Hi! I had the Gastric Sleeve, haven’t ever actually thrown up just feel nauseous. Oh and nope no issues swallowing it’s just a weird pukey feeling. I also don’t feel overfill just eat three or four itty bitty meals per day as per the instructions I was given. It’s a mystery - lol!

It's normal, it's takes some people longer to heal, and for inflammation to subside. Just keep Fluid intake high. I still had slimes/foamies and upchucked months out from food. And you have low energy from lack if calories, just make sure you get your Protein and fluids in and a few vegetables and it will progress. You could however have a bit of reflux, you might try a small dose of prilosec to see if that takes care of it.

Yup. Normal! Be patient with yourself and your new sleeve. Things will get better.

Thanks so much! I hadn’t read anything about people having this so I was concerned that something bad was possibly going on. :)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
