3 mo post RNY 24/7 NAUSEA...



Recommended Posts

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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
