sick of getting sick
Can someone please help me. I had gastric surgery and a hernia (sp) surgery Sept. 18th. I keep having trouble feeling like things are getting stuck so I have to go and get sick. It happens when I eat or drink even one sip. please help me understand I hate eating or drinking. Will this go away any time soon. They said something about possible swelling.
Hey i did the exact same thing! Everythign i ate or drank felt liek it had to come back up or was stuck so threw up. I figured out what part of my problem was I was eating and drinking too fast! that should not be a problem but you dont think about it and i was takign way too big of bites and everytime i got sick. i noticed when i ate during the day away form my family i did not get sick. but i hurried at night when i was with them. take your time and try to see if that works if not call your dr. they got paid a lot to be of service to you so dont worry about calling them.
I was doing that too. Found out I was eating way too fast, and I'm a slow eater!!! I discovered that I have to eat slo mo.....and chew chew chew. Also, if I sit up as straight as I can, that helps it get into my pouch easier.
Go back to doing liquids for a day or so until your stomach settles down. Then try soft foods for a day, then go onto solids. I had to do that about 2-3 weeks ago and haven't had any trouble since.
It's definitely a process isn't it!!!
Good luck,
Donna
Kim,
Hi, I had my surgery on 9-19 and I had the same experience as you. Today I went in for a GI scope and was found to have a stricture which I hope has been corrected. Based on the pictures I saw It was surprising how small the opening became, I was told any opening under 9cm will create problems ie vomiting.
You can try slowing down your eating/drinking but I'd call your surgeon ASAP to discuss it with him, you need to address it quickly. By the way the proceedure was painless.
Feel bette,
