So I'm at a loss, the smell of food now makes me sick to my stomach especially when my family eats fast food. I struggled with eating because everything would come up, found out I had a small stricture. Had the procedure last week and have been trying to eat but nothing. Everything I've tried has come back up again and it tastes disgusting I mean just vile. The only thing that stayed down was refried beans from a local Mexican restaurant and when I eat Greek yogurt but I'm getting tired of it. I cant even drink my protein drinks they make me throw up mucus. I know this won't last for ever but I have no clue what to do and I'm hungry. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?

What about broth? Just keep the foods simple & more liquid then solid.
Talk with a nutritionist & see if they have any ideas for you.

I had the bypass 6 months ago. For the first month, I couldn't even drink water without feeling sick. I had to get a script for a nausea patch that is worn behind the ear. I could only drink Peppermint tea.

By the second month, I could only eat Cream of Wheat, and a little bit of Oatmeal.

I couldn't drink Protein drinks until my 4th to 5th month, and even now, I didn't drink them very often. I recently tried the Carmel flavored Fairlife, and I do like that one.

I eat raw, unsalted almonds, and walnuts if I get hungry between meals. It is my go to food. I haven't had a problem with it. Have you tried to eat Cottage Cheese? I eat that instead of yogurt, because I don't like yogurt, and it has more protein.

I still have a lot of mucus when I eat. I have to spit after almost every bite I take. I asked the doc about it, and they didn't seem concerned.

Oh, and if my hubby cooked anything, the smell would make me feel so sick, I would have to go outside to get air.

I've been having some serious problems with nausea and food tasting disgusting. I have a script for nausea medicine but it only partially works and it doesn't solve the problem of needing to eat. What I have found that helps is Chicken Bone Broth with a teaspoon of powdered ginger. Ginger naturally helps with nausea and digestion. Bone broth also helps and actually has an okay amount of protein in it compared to regular chicken broth.
