I Underwent a full roux en y bypass on the 2 april this year, i contracted mrsa, staph and took a stitch abscess which have all now thankfully settled. the first 4 weeks after the surgery i was constantly sick, even water, they discovered a stricture and done a balloon dilation which for 5 days gave me wonderful relief allowing me to eat soup, mashed potato and gravy and even some cheesy baked potato then back to sickness. Now almost three months post op i still only occasionally manage some soup (whizzed potato and leek) and some water, everything else comes back up and i have a constant foamy saliva type sickness. Will this ever end? I am in a wheelchair so have not managed the exercise bit, dont know if that is slowing things down. Am so weak and nauseaus all the time and cant seem to get out of the bit. It is really getting me down, i cant swallow tablets so that is not an option. will life ever be normal again?

Hello. Welcome to the boards. Sorry to hear you are having a rough time with this. Maybe if you let us know what you are trying to eat when you get sick someone could help or make suggestions. Are you getting any protein at all? Hopefully one of the other more experienced post ops or doc sanae will be in shortly. Again, sorry you are having such difficulties.

don't worry about it, i'm sure that you notice that you were alright after a month, right?
