7 weeks out from Duodenal switch (surgery feb 23rd 2016) and very frustrated, I cant eat anything hardly at all. All I do is drink Protein shakes (2-30g protein each a day) and liquids i can't do more the dairy starts reeking havoc on me then (Water, juice, soup). i get about 60+ oz of liquids a day but i cant eat almost anything solid still. Some (crackers with cheese spread, Peanut Butter crackers sometimes, scrambled eggs only sometimes, yogurt and that's about it. I try thin lunch meat one day it's ok with some minor discomfort next day i try it I throw up, one day some fish my stomach goes crazy numbly and gas but stays down the next day i try it I throw up. same with eggs, ground beef, shredded chicken etc.
I was just tested last week Wednesday for a stomach leak and they found nothing it came back normal i'm so confused. I read about so many others eating fine and way earlier than me and I try to eat and when I do my stomach goes crazy and I get cramping, its not worth trying anymore. I chew everything like crazy i am very careful and its not helping, I am at my so frustrated and don't even want to try because I don't want to do damage my stomach by trying and throwing up if it does not agree with me.
I meet with my doctor again tomorrow but conversations over the phone they did not seemed concerned. I am very concerned because I read posts here and many are eating almost everything at this stage and I can't even handle the basics like scrambled eggs.
I am worried because I started at 356 the with my mandated monitored diet from insurance I dropped to 324 the day of my surgery and i'm already down to 271 (53 lbs) in only 50 days and worried i'm losing weight too fast and once i start to eat i will stop losing. I am really regretting my decision, has anyone experienced something similar?
