7 weeks out.. 1 rehospitalization with peptic ulcer... Nausea so bad unable to eat.

I had RNY 07/14 and did amazing until 5 weeks post-op.. after a rehospitalization found to have ulcer covering over 40% of my pouch. On meds for the ulcer.. pain is not as bad.. but still having pain..the nausea however seems to be getting worse instead of better.  So much nausea having a hard time eating anything.. and now dizzy and headachy..   Anybody have any nausea tips.  On Zofran but that seems to increase my headache.. feeling desperate...  I dont have a ton to lose and yet still losing about a pound a day due to not able to eat/keep food down.

Are you getting at least 64 ounces of fluid, daily?  Dehydration can cause nausea, dizziness, and headaches.  You may need to force yourself to drink.  Set a timer for every 15 minutes and keep sipping all day if necessary.  If you don't get enough fluids in orally, you will end up in the hospital with a needle in your arm getting fluids.

I am struggling with the fluids.. but trying hard.. get close to the 64 ounces.. enough liquids I still get up in the night to pee..  I can seem to keep down and handle water with lemon.   I got so dehydrated with the ulcer before I couldnt pee at all :(

you poor thing.  I had severe nausea in the beginning but it got much better after a few weeks and some Zofran.  I wonder if there's anything else they can give you?

Re-hospitalization is quite the downer; you had WLS so you could avoid hospitals, sorry.  The only nausea tips I have are:  1) there's a nausea patch worn behind the ear that helped after my recent obstruction surgery  2) going for walks helped me with pain, nausea, and mood.

Sf Popsicles? Sf jello, skim milk. All things my pouch likes. I don't like water but get my fluids in. Hope you feel better , hugs

Thanks guys..  I am so nauseous that pretty much anything including sf jello, popsicles, etc.. all make me gag.  I am truly in a bad place.  I wish I could go on walks but at this point I am so dizzy that it is not possible.. when I stand up my ears feel all funny and fluid filled..  I just keep trying to sip water.  At this point if I am getting 2 ounces of food/fluids other than water i am lucky.  My surgeon will see me on the 14th.. and my family doctor is no help at all.
