Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 , Your body's getting used to the new configuration of your stomach and intestines. You should keep in mind that your stomach is now much smaller that it was before the surgery. You could be experiencing a slight depression due to the fact that any kind of food intake has decreased greatly and your stomach is looking for food. You should talk to your doctor, let him or her know how you are feeling. Patty Spakoski RNY 2-25-99 Mass Dr. Forse 267/145/225 Help!! What do I do? Hi Guys! I need some help. Things have been going pretty well since surgery, but lately I don't feel good. I think something may be wrong but I am not sure. It hurts to eat and drink, but I am not real sure why. It feels like it could be gas or maybe something is blocked, but it's been nearly 3 days. My Mother is so worried that she thinks I need to go to the emergency room and find out if something serious is wrong. I don't feel sick unless I am eating or drinking. The only thing I can seem to eat is chicken broth and popcicles. Neither of which is going to boost my protein intake for the day. I am having a really hard time with the taste of vitamins too. They gag me really bad and I know I have to take them. This along with some strange post op depression and I am pretty much a basket case. If anyone has any idea what I am going through please let me know what will help. Thank you all for your input and support! You guys are awesome!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 It's been 3 weeks since my surgery... not 3 days. I have been feeling icky for 4 days now. I eat pureed foods and apple sauce, that type of thing. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 , Your body is getting used to several things: eating in stages-water, soft foods, dairy and so on the smaller size-eating less getting everyone around you to except the changes in you As you enter each new level of food your body may react differently-be patient Patty Spakoski RNY 2-25-99 Mass Dr. Forse 267/145/225 Help!!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 , If that continues you definately need to be checked. You may either have a stricture which can be opened or you may be having gallbladder attacks. Gallstones hurt like something is rupturing in some people and is a dull ache in others but if stones lodge in your pancreas you can wind up with long-term problems with pancreatitis. (I did and I got my gallbladder out on the second attack.) I am not trying to scare you but you do need to at least call your surgeon if you haven't yet. It may be nothing at all but either way, you should be checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
