Feeling really sick :(

[hayley1983]

Any advice from post bypassers would be great.

Every morning for the last week, I've woken up, and felt really sick. Not the feeling that I am going to be sick, but just an uneasy feeling in my tummy.

It usually calms down after I've had my "breakfast" (at the moment I'm on pureed, so my breakfast consists of weetabix watered down to the max with milk). But I hope this feeling isn't going to stay with me forever in the morning because it's getting me down now.

Other than this problem, I've had a trouble free journey so far

Thanks everyone!

Im a post bypasser and have never experienced this- could be lack of food or fluid but why dont you check with your surgical team. No question is a silly one.

If I didn't make sure I drank enough water the day before, I did suffer from morning sickness in the early days. It lasted for a week or two for me.

Make sure it's not dehydration and you are getting plenty of fluids. If it continues mention it to your GP honey

Is it not just a bad taste in your mouth that makes you feel sick?

I find that my mouth was really yucky in the morning so I have water next to the bed so as soon as I wake up I take a drink and that gets rid of the post bypass horrible taste in your mouth

Hi Hayley
sorry 4 weeks on i haven't experinced this are you eating and drinking enough of a day just a thought seeing as your breakfast seems to help the feeling x

 

[hayley1983]

Thanks guys.

I think it is not drinking enough fluids. Since starting on pureed foods, I have been struggling to drink the required amount of fluid.

I'm going to drink a fair bit today, because it's my first day back at work tomorow, and I want to be 100%.

I will give my provider a call today, but I just wanted to ask the question from people that may have had this problem first hand.

Here is a warning for you - I didnt drink enough fluids in the first few weeks and developed this vile sweet taste that tainted everything I ate or drank. Hospital ran blood tests and I was severely dehydrated and almost ended up back there on a drip for 48 hours. It was even affecting my kydney function. Luckily I drank like a fish for 3 days and reversed it. The moral of this story is drink drink drink!

Jeez! When I'm at work I drink like a fish, but I just seem to be struggling at home
So it's kinda good I'm back to work tomoro to get back on track. It seems whenever I have a break from work, I'm totally unorganised and end up stepping out of a routine.

Hi Helen,

I did think that, but I honestly think it's down to my fluids, as it seems to disapear when I have my brekkie.

I'm not taking any tablets whatsoever at the moment, as per advise from my provider. I'm not taking anything until I am back on "normal wholesome foods".

Thanks for your reply.

Hayley, I had a bypass a week today and i'm on tablets to prevent the build up of gallstones twice daily, do u still have ut gallbladder? I don't have any problem with my mouth in the morning other than the taste which is foul, i find myself cleaning my teeth 4 times a day!! maybe thats whats making you feel sick cos thats how i feel when i have to get rid of that taste!!

If it continues I would definitely contact your provider for advice, good luck xxx

Hayley I am having a similair problem although I'm feeling sick most of the day now and very little is staying down. I'd have a word with whoever did your op and just get it checked for your own peace of mind if nothing else.

[hayley1983]

Yes, I had my gall bladder removed @ 21. The sick feeling is defo in the pit of my tummy, it's nothing to do with the taste in my mouth
