Question:
I feel generally unwell with nausea being the biggest complaint...

I had my surgery (gastric bypass) on August 28-00. Since then, I've had a great deal of trouble with nausea, and feeling extremely tired. I am not able to eat much at all, for instance- today has been a good day...I had 1/4 of a piece of bacon, 2 bites of egg, 2 bites of pancake for breakfast, about 2 tablespoons of ramen noodles for lunch, and 1 small potato skin for supper. The nausea has not been bad today, but had I eaten more than I did I"d have been very sick. The other night I ate about 2 tablespoons of food total and was in the bathroom dry heaving an hour later. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this or should I consult my doc again ? I did once last month and he said I would out grow it. Thanks, Marti    — Martha V. (posted on November 7, 2000)

Maybe you should try some other food. I don't think the bacon would sit well with me. Do you have syrup on your pancakes, that might also be a problem. My doc says no skins for a few months and also should try to get protein. If you are not getting enough protein that will definately make you tired. Good luck.

I felt like this until my doc prescribed prilosec and that helped a great deal. I had no trouble with excess stomach acid until the surgery, but felt awash in stomach fluid and nauseous after. The prilosec seems to do the trick. Good luck.
