Gastric Sleeve Procedure Done. Had Gallbladder Removed. Feeling Nausea And Vomiting. Diet Plan?

Continuous nausea and vomiting might warrant a reevaluation by the surgeon to determine the cause. Continues fluid loss in this case is also accompanied by electrolyte loss, and could aggravate the electrolyte imbalance which could be life threatening. Anti hypertensive drugs used in cardiac patients could either lead to hypo or hyperkalemia depending on the case. Diuretics generally cause hypokalemia while angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors could cause hyperkalemia.
A reevaluation by the surgeon and consequently a cardiologist is fundamental.
You need a diet poor in salt, XXXXXXX in fruits, vegetables and vitamins. In case of confirmed hypokalemia, bananas could be a XXXXXXX natural source.
Your health condition with heart disease history might warrant receiving vaccine shots against pneumococcal pneumonia and hemophilus influenzae. The enlarged kidney needs reevaluation, but be either due to an infection, portal hypertension, or even heart failure. This shall require a good clinical evaluation. You surgeon might actually need to reevaluate you to determine the cause of this vomiting and dehydration.
An intestinal occlusion, either functional or mechanical, post surgical has to be excluded. Left undetected, situations usually worsens, at times quietly, and can be life threatening. Excessive vomiting can actually aggravate hypokalemia and lead to metabolic alkalosis, which if left untreated, could life threatening within a short time.
I would suggest you XXXXXXX your surgeon for a reevaluation and consequently a cardiologist.
I should be most grateful offering any help if need be.
Best regards,
