Question:
The very thought of food making me vomit at 5 months post op

Hi, I am 5 months post op from Open RNY. For the past 5 days, I havent been able to eat anything at all. Last night, I was so hungry I made a small salad, and at the first bite, I couldnt even swallow, I had to spit it out immediatly. My fiance mentioned food 2 days ago, and i fled to the bathroom dry heaving, because there was nothing in my stomach. I am barely getting my protein drinks in because I just cant stand the taste of anything. I am not pregnant. Please can anyone help me? I will call doc if it keeps up, but thought I would try here first. Thanks to everyone. Trisha Wooten -111 pounds 63 inches    — Trisha W. (posted on January 23, 2002)

Call the Doctor ASAP! It sounds like your Stoma may be blocked. Don't want to alarm you by my Doctor said that if I can not get anything down for over 24 hours to call the office immediately. Can you get water down? If not you are getting dehydrated too.

You need to get some water or juice asap. I definitely think you need to contact your bariatric counseling center or doctor about your lack of eating. Would you try to drink a small glass of non-sweet juice like grapefruit juice. That will be so good for you.
