My surgery was on May 20th. I had the bypass duodenal switch, but they also removed my appendix, and fixed the hernia.
The first 2 weeks were a breeze, yes I was sore and tired, but I was going for walks too. Week three was a complete turnaround for me. I can no longer eat. Everything makes me nauseous. My sense of smell is so heightened I instantly get sick. This week I went into my general practitioner for a regular check up and he did lab work, and my potassium and magnesium were rock bottom. My white blood count was also very low. The doctor recommended that I come in and get two bags of IV fluids immediately. However, that has not helped much, I am still extremely nauseous and have Trouble getting any food or water down. I have also quit losing weight. I think my body is just holing on to anything it can, as I probably only bet down 100-200 calories a day. Can there be something wrong? I know there can be but have other people have these problems. When I went into this I really thought I was going to have to control my food portions, chew my food slowly, I never expected to vomit up everything I try not be able to get water in at all not even be able to swallow pills without vomiting them back up. I need help!
