Back home after RNY-9 day update
Hi Everyone, thanks so much for the support!!!!!!!!!!
Been a rough 9 days but getting some repreives now where I don't have nausea.
Been impossible to eat or drink much with the nausea, during the few mild nausea hours want real food like 5 pieces of penne.
So sick of yoghart, not interested in anything sweet ( apple sauce etc) makes gag.
Weight is falling off, probably most of it is water and couldn't/can't stomach much food
13 lbs in 9 days - toooo fast.
If at 9 days you can tolerate soft solids ( penne ) can start adding them carefully???
Had 2 sips of a McD. fruit smoothie yesterday, tasted and felt great ( needed calories, isnt that a change in thinking hey?) Experienced dumping for the first time.
Wow not 5 mins later had terrible left sided abdo pain for 30-45 mins. Guess it was sweeter than it tasted. Wow hard introduction to dumping.
Incisions healing beautifully.
So sick of TV ( and my own company), anyone else get nausea for so long?

Hi I am new to this site and so glad I can talk about my surgery and hard times i go through. I am post-op 6 weeks and I still have nausea, I noticed that well i have a major infection so I think or hopee its the perscription thats making me sick goes away. I have been reading your message and I find it that my nausea never started till 2 weeks home. I cannot tolerate my vit pills anymore but I take them I gag everytime i take them do you experience this as well? I cannot even drink those ensure drinks at all they make me sick to my stomach. I agree yogurt is just blah now, How are you coping with keeping up with your protien and vitamins?
sorry to hear you are still nauseous, there is nothing worse. If the nausea started at the same time you started this prescription, get another antibiotic. There are many types, I remember having one (years ago) that was rough on the stomach. That's my suggestion anyway.
As for the vit. pill, it seems go down okay if I take it when I feel okay,no consitant timing. The flavor is there as it dissolves.
Protein is still a challenge, I am trying to eat more shellfish (scallops, smoked oysters on a cracker etc) as shellfish is really high in protein.
i eat what I crave and that is not sweet stuff eg ensure tooooo sweet, protein shake too sweet. So I am eating cheese and meat/fish/shellfish every meal. A meal might consist of 2 ritz crackers loaded with cheese, 1/4 beef soup. Such tiny meals. I know I am not getting the protein in. I visited a friend the other night, she is over a year out. She can eat 2 cups of food now, I will be thrilled to get to 1 cup ( long way off ) then you can look like you can eat.
I wasnt able to return to work at 3 weeks. I will go back on Jul 3rd.
was so weak, now getting stronger. I think my blood sugar was so low it was making me sick too. I am not a diabetic but if I tried to force down some ensure with coffee ot anything sweet I was so sick. The dietican thought that I was so sensitive to the sugar spike so I now drink/sip a perrier/pure OJ mix and it seems to have helped even out the blood sugar so ot so hypoglycemic.
I am hoping to go to Popeyes today and get samples of different proteins, I plan to hide in soup or coffee or something. Can't do hot drinks yet, you noticed your taste is heightened? hope I drnk coffee again one day.
eating is such a challenge, I am going to eat what I crave because I have to eat. So yesterday made thick beef tomato borcht, cheese crackers and pickles, a perogy, if I cant desire the food I will not get it down pyschologically. Mt dietician is very supportive, that helps a lot.
