Indigestion? Gastritis?

[ioutfoxedyou 9]

Hey all,

Had RNYGB on 2/1, was cleared for full liquids yesterday. Tried a bunch of different things and by afternoon struggled with diarrhea and vomiting, and couldn't keep down Clear Liquids. Went into the ER, they said mild dehydration, gave me IV fluids and antinausea meds and sent me home.

Today (about 5 hours ago) I tried a single creamy Premier Protein shake- big mistake, won't do it again- and I've had terrible sour stomach ever since. Started belching a little as well. Tums hasn't helped. Any advice for getting through this? Just wait it out? I feel like it should've passed by now, but man, is my pouch ANGRY AT ME.

Are you on reflux medication? Most people are for the first 6 months after surgery

I take a anti nausea medication called Lansoprazole Orodispersible every morning whilst in bed. It dissolves on my tongue and tada .. no more nausea. It coats the stomach and when I am ready for Breakfast my new tummy is good to go. I can take this medicine twice a day but have never needed to after the first two days. I keep windeaze tablets and antacid tablets handy but dont need them at the moment. { These are UK drug names }

I have really struggled with vomiting but something has happened and as if by magic I am getting there. There is no way that I can drink any Protein Shake or Protein Water or some meats and poultry, BUT Woohoo fish and seafood, cheese, Jerky and charcuterie are fine, along with milk to drink. You will get there, keep trying , everyone on here will help you on your way

Thanks everyone! I ended up going into the ER last night and they admitted me. I had a complete small bowel obstruction (no idea how on a liquid diet). I just got discharged, fingers crossed this is just a fluke and it doesn't happen again [emoji1696]
