    Cant keep anything down

    #thebestofme replied to jurisjitsu's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Call the Dr. But also use a heating pad or hot wet towel and lay it on your chest it opens you up a bit so the food can go down when it feels stuck. Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

    Then start with liquids but start now. And be sure to get your Protein intake. It's the Protein powder people have a hard with. So start early. I'm use to adding protein powder to Water because I started before surgery. Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

    Congratulations I would suggest if the Dr. Hasn't put you on a diet now. Start a liquid diet asap. Or incorporate shakes now so that it will be easy for you after surgery. I started replacing one meal for a Protein shake for two weeks then 2 shakes and one small meal until mt surgery. Now Protein drinks are very easy for me to take.
