I had gastric bypass surgery in July 2021 and am starting to regret it. I have been really sick unable to eat or drink since. I'm so weak I can barley get out of bed most days. I'm concerned about loosening my job because of it as well. I just had a procedure done about a week ago to widen the pouch the doc called it. It was supposed to help I guess it has in a way I can finally eat about 8 blueberries a day or i pick at a banana through the day, I've also been able to down about half a drinkable yogurt. But I'm still getting sick . Alot of foods or even smells make me gag. Water tastes horrible to me for some reason. I started to drink Gatorade it has helped with some fluid intake. I don't want to be a downer for others but does anyone know if this will get better.

Are you able to drink any protein shakes/broth/water? That might help a lot.

that's not normal. Does your surgeon know what's going on?

Yes he said to give it time

Protein shakes no for some reason, broths the smell makes me sick but I'm going to try some tonight and hope I can get some down

If you're able I would try to consult another doctor. I'm not in a position to tell you your surgeon is wrong about this just "needing time" but it doesn't feel normal to me, and I would want a second opinion elsewhere.
