Eddie

Hi everyone, My name is Eddie. I was sleeved on May 13th after about 6 months of research. I' was 5'7' and 250 pounds before I started and have lost 25 pounds.I was pretty active before, just lived on fast food and got fat. I didn't like the long term complications with the band and the full bypass was too scary. In the three weeks since I've had this done, I've been miserable. I'm exhausted, nauseous & struggle just to get 20 ounces of liquid and maybe 20 grams of protein a day. I've tried protein powder, Isopure, protein shots, you name it. Nothing taste decent enough to make me not want to boot it back up. The thought of food or drink makes me want to yack. I've already barfed today. I called the doc and his brilliant suggestion was to drink more. If I could drink more, I doubt I'd be in this situation. At this point, I'm not worried about losing weight. I just want to get healthy enough again to be productive. Anyone else go through this?? What did you do??

Thanks for the advise, everyone. I sucked it up and went to Urgent Care yesterday. After they took my $30 co-pay, they said said they wouldn't touch me and that I should go to ER. So, there I went....For 7 hours. They dumped some IV into me, checked my blood levels and did a CT to check for leaks. Everything looks OK. I woke up this morning feeling alot better. Had some yogurt for breakfast and held it down. I'm going to head out and pick up the anti-nauseau med's they prescribed and see if that does the trip. You guys rock. I wouldn't have gone without your urging. Thanks.
