Always feeling sick



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am four weeks out and feel sick all the time. I have never gotten in my liquids or Proteins because everytime I drink or eat I get a cramping in my stomach. The thought of more Protein Shakes make me nauseous. At this point I cant stand anything with a sweet taste. My stomach really cramps at night. I have had problems w Constipation but now take Miralax. I had gone to the er for fluids last week also. I'm really trying not to regret this surgery but I'm sick of feeling like this!!! Can anyone provide any insight?

I would say a majority of us struggle with Constipation, so that part is normal, but the rest of this isn't. Dehydration can make you feel like crap (and can also contribute to the constipation), so part of it may be due to that. Have you called your surgeon? Having stomach cramps to the point where you can't eat or drink doesn't sound normal - I would call and see what they say.

I have read that some people develop an intolerance to dairy after surgery. That might be the problem, but I agree with catwoman - I would definitely call the surgeon's office and get professional advice.

      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!!
