Stomach pain...

The first month after surgery I did so well, I thought I was just soaring through this surgery. But, lately (the last week or so) I have been having intermittent stomach pain, and nausea. Because of this, I'm not eating much and I have went over 24 hours without eating anything. This is when the nausea seems to get worse, to the point I puke (well, dry heave since there's nothing there to come up). Has anyone else experienced this? I thought the further out from surgery, the better you were going to feel? Thanks, Sheila

Is it possible you just had a flu bug?? You may try just a few crackers, yes they are carbs but they are easy on your tummy too. That may help you from being nauseaed?? I have only been ill once. I eat a half a peanut butter and jelly sanwich too fast and I dry heaved!! YUCK!! I felt like I had REALLY BAD heart burn for about 24 hours!! I hope & pray you feel better very soon!! Blessings Tonya

How are you doing? I've been thinking about you..and worrying (it's my nature) ever since I read this post! ((hugs)))

Shannon, I am doing a little better. I still have some pain, and I think I am so afraid of the pain it's keeping me from eating like I should. I go back and see my surgeon next week and maybe we can get to the bottom of my problem. I appreciate you caring Sheila

Sheila, Sorry to read about your problem, hope it gets resolved soon. I wonder about how you are doing frequently, and keep you in my prayers. I used to be on the computer every day, but since the surgery rarely get on it, so I haven't kept up with you. Sorry. My recovery is going much slower then I expected, my biggest challenge is lack of energy and stamina. I did get the gastric tube out a week ago, but the wound still has a foul discharge. Have to go.
