OMIGOODNESS!! I am soo sick! I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Here we are, 3 months post op and I am still fighting nausea. I am scheduled to have another EGD on january 7th. Had one a month ago and had a stricture stretched. Back to nausea all the time.

Every time I eat, when I dont eat... it doesnt matter...

And there doesnt seem to be any safe foods.

Im not getting in my protein, lucky if even get 30 grams in a day.

Have zofran, take max doses and it isnt helping.

At my whits end.

Can anyone else suggest things to try? Foods that may help... ill try anything!!

You need to call your surgeon. Im not a Dr. And I don't even play one on T.V. but that isn't normal and it could be just something simple like a stricture or an ulcer either way please call. And in the meantime focus on your hydration. Keep us posted.

Have you tried ice chips. The last three days I’ve been real nauseous even just a sip of water. This afternoon I tried some ice chips and that seemed to work. Or at least for now. I even tried peppermint tea which did help a little.

Drink your protein shakes for nutrition and stay in constant communication with your surgeon. The can prescribed anti nausea meds.

Not sure if they explained it but sometimes it takes several dilatations to resolve a stricture.

Good Luck ?

I agree with the above posters. I had a stricture. It had to be dilated at 4 weeks out and again at around 8 weeks out (it was fine after that). Some people need even more dilations than that. The good news is, this might be the last time you have to do it - they're kind of rare after the first three months post-op.
