47 days since surgery can't eat

Please give some advice. I feel sick every time I try to eat. Even the soft foods and the liquids are starting to be a problem as well. I went back to the doctor and there doesn't seem to be a problem spoke with the nutritionist and I am just not able to eat. Please help.

Did they do an endoscopy?

Robin, Did you actually see your doctor or just the nutritionist? I can't believe they think this is normal? I had surgery the same day you did and I have not problems eating soft food. I don't eat much, but hey that's the point. Anyway, did they put you on any kind of acid medicine like prevacid or zantac? If you are not throwing up you probably don't have a blockage or stricture but you may have an ulcer or acid problem. Something is definitely not right. I would insist on seeing the doctor (again if necessary****il you work this out. Are you able to drink fluids like water etc without problems? Sandy

I have the same trouble. I told my surgeon about it and he prescribed me something to take 30 minutes before meals. It actually helps with the dry heaves and I can manage a bite or two of food. Ask your doctor. You don't have to go through this. Good luck!

Robin this does not seem normal so far out afer your surgery. Definitely go see the doctor again, he may be able to give you something to settle your stomach. I have bouts with nausea after I eat a lot but not to the point where I can not eat. I was prescribed some medication, but it knocks me out so I can't take it unless I'm home. Good luck and please follow up with your doctor. Lynnelle

hi robin i had my surgery on nov 3,2004 i am still sick as a dog. the nausea is allful i still cant eat or drink.i have no appitite at all i could go days without eating.i have been addmitted back to the hospital twice for dehydration. my dr says its normal for nausea to last up to 3 months its been 9 weeks today and am still suffering with the nausea.my endoscopy was normal nothing was wrong.but im still sick it doesnt matter if i eat or what i eat im still sick. i am supposed to aet at least 1 cup now,and i cant get past 1/2 cup .my dr tells me to eat every 3 hrs i said i dont even what to eat once a day.he says it will make me fill better.well it didnt help i pushed myself .and now im back to eating maybe twice just a bit or 2 so im almost at 3 months if im still sick i dont no what i will do i havent even been able to go back to work yet and i have to return on feb 5.2005 my surgery was a breeze compared to this nausea. my dr says every one is different.i hope it doesnt last this long for you. my dr did give me zofran for nausea,but you cant take it every day.so i only take it when i have to go out or just cant stand it .i do have some good days were its not so bad my dr says it will go away for sure i will be thinking of you.Rhonda

Wow, First off i'd like to say sorry that you are both feeling so sick. Second, It nice to know i'm not the only one. I had my surgery on Nov. 10th. I was doing fine until this last weekend. All of sudden it seems everything I eat seems to make me sick. I start to get nauseaus, and my stomach doesn't feel right. After about a half hour I start to feel better. I'm hoping it will pass. I see my dr again on the 12th. ~Angel 222/187/120
