Yes it's normal...Believe me, after a few years you'll be surprised as to how much you can eat. Good luck!

Good Morning Cali Friends,

Happy Friday, we made it!  It sure does seem like it took long for the weekend to get here. 

Today will be another busy one at work and then I got to the Dr to review my 6 month labs.  I always enjoy seeing them turn out so much better than pre-surgery.  I do know we will talk about getting the last of the weight off and I know what I have to do there.  Then we will have my Grandson for the night which will be fun.  We're still trying to figure out what fun things we will do.

No major plans for the weekend.  We will need to gear up for next weekend which is "jam weekend" at our house.  Many of my husbands friends will be converging on our house to play music all next weekend.  They are all great guys and some will bring their wives or kids so that will be fun.  They are all good musicians and play good old rock and roll and blues.  I'll sing a bit but mostly keep up with feeding them all.

So how about you?  Do you have any fun plans for the day/weekend?  I wish you a wonderful weekend and don't forget to do something nice for you.

Hugs,
Barb

Nausea and vomiting is a big indicator of dehydration;  I'm glad you got the IV's.

You should be able to eat soft or pureed foods by now;  could you be suffering from a stricture?  You might ask your surgeon to do an EDG to check to make sure your stoma isn't healing too small.

Try pureed soups, refried beans, etc.

Good luck. 

Had RNY surgery on May 23, 2011

In my 4th week (on jello and liquids only) I started getting nausea and vomiting. Week 4, 5 & 6 I was nauseated and vomiting 24/7 and ended up having to go in and get IVs to rehydrate.

I tried 5 medications and nothing worked. Now I have a vomiting fit for 10 to 24 hour if I eat one tiny bite of food.

My co-worker said she had the same problem but it all passed and got better after 3 months. My surgeon is concerned and wants to do tests but I think it will pass. Although I will do what ever they tell me to do.

Anyone else have this problem and when did it pass?

Congrats!
