vomiting 1 month post op
I just start vomiting yesterday and again today. I thought it was the chicken on the grill or the bbq sauce. I have been eating chicken and turkey with gravy with no problems lately. But yesterday didn't usue any gravy and I got sick. Today I try to eat a piece of french toast with sf syrup and scramble egg with cheese barely much of it and got sick. I had it before and never got sick. My stomach starts to hurt after a few bites. Then I stop eating then I try to lay down but end up going to the bathroom to get sick. Yesterday I got a headache and chillls so went to bed after getting sick. Today my stomach still hurts and when I eat it comes right back up. ugh. Can't even hold down milk today that came up too. Is this cause to be concern?
I have been feeling fatigue for about a week and half now. I felt great the first 3 weeks had alot of energy not much pain at all or vomiting. And now it i****ting me out of no where.
thanks,
Robin

I am typing from the bariatric surgery diet guideline book I was given by the dietician from the surgeon program.
Bariatric clear liquids was 1-2 days
Bariatric full liquides was 1-2 days
Bariatric pureed was 2 weeks
Bariatric soft 2 weeks (yesterday was suppose to be the last day on this one) 3 to 4 ounces of soft food at each meal
These are the recommended foods for the soft diet: Beverages, water, sf non carbonated, coffee, tea, Dairy 1 %, skim, lactos free or soy milk, high protein drinks , smooth yogurt. Soups, broth, bouillin, low fat cream, or both based soup. Meat moist grown lean meat or poultry, flaked fish, eggs, low fat cottage cheese, creamy peanut butter. Starches cooked or dry cereal, potatoes without skin, rice or pasta in sauce, crackers, vegetables are soft cooked vegetables aovoid those with hulls or tough skin such as peas ad corn. Fruits unsweetened canned fruit without skins, applesauce, Desserts/sweets sf pudding, sf gelation and sf popsicles. This is all under the soft diet.
General diet should increase portions to 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) I can't even eat the much at all. Protein should goal 60 to 80, avoid dry, stringy hard, crisp meats. Meats should be moist, cut in small piecs and thorougly chewed. Also low in fat. Dairy foods skim milk, fat cheese, cottage cheese, light yogurt. Fruits should be soft. Vegetables should be soft with a gradual progression to raw vegetables. Starches crackers, toast hot or soft cold cereals, potatoes without skin and preparted without fat. starches should be limited to 1 item/serving per meal. Fresh breads may still be poorly tolerated. Beverages should be the same as soft. Also it says 1200 calories to maintain weight loss. The nut told me I should be at 1200 calories by the time I reach general diet. I am not there at all. Maybe at 800 or little higher some days.

Hi Robin! The body does wierd things. Tonight, I ate 3 spoons of tomato soup and my tummy said "no way"! But I just ate a piece of banana bread and it's fine. When this happens, don't get discouraged. My stomach seems to have a mind of it's own sometimes. At these times, there may still be something in your stomach that is trying to digest. Go to simple, more bland foods in small quantities and try again another day. Don't force yourself to eat just because the clock says it's supper time. We all get sick sometimes. It's our body telling us "not right now" or "that's not gonna go through". It may also be the "extras" that you are adding to foods that are too rich or too salty. Gravy's, sauces, syrup's, etc. are all high sugar, high calorie things that can start dumping syndrome. That's probably where your sickness and chills came from. Moist food doesn't mean gravy and sauce. Try broth instead to keep meat moist. If you can't figure out the cause, call the dietician and let her help you find alternatives. Good luck, Lois
I had the same problem at about 6 or 7 weeks out. I contacted the doctor, the next day they scoped me and had to stretch the opening. It is common for some to form scar tissue that blocks the opening to the intestines. It was a day surgery procedure, very quick and painless, under anethesia. What a difference it made for me. I had a popsicle after waking up, and I could feel the gurgling in my intestines as the fluids finally started to pass thru.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
