I wouldn't!! Scrambled eggs they tell you to stay away from as they are hard to digest, if you think you are ready for soft foods and you want eggs do poached first and they try fried, best of luck. Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App

It will get better, keep taking your anti sickness and things will calm down. Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App -
I hear and feel what you are going through, everything I used to do in regard to eating and drinking has gone and I have had to find new ways. I still have good and bad days, but definitely more good ones. Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App

Sadly it is normal and will eventually go away, the more you can walk the quicker it goes, but go away it will. It's just one of the many new experiences you will go through. Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App

Well I have never cooked so much food and eaten so little. I cannot wait to be able to eat at least 6oz, currently I am still only able to eat 3oz tops. No beer, no wine not even a cider has passed my lips, it's been the dryest in years except when I was pulled to do stag duty all those years ago. Happy Christmas everyone.

Internal bleeding after Gastric Sleeve Surgery

How are things going? Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App -
Morning everyone, Last evening I had the results of the gastroscopy that I had yesterday, well I am suffering from gastritis (swelling of the stomach lining) and I have a sliding hiatus hernia. So now we know what is causing me to have nausea all the time when I try anything more than liquid's. Ok so now they have increased my anti-acids to combat the swelling, the hernia they will leave to see if it settles down once the acid in the stomach is reduced. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App

Heat or cold on incisions
adriant replied to nursemichelle7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used heat Patches, no issues Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App -
I suffered the same, if you cannot keep anything down you must contact your doctor or go to the ER, dehydration is dangerous. They gave me three types of antisickness to stop me vomiting, they also gave me a gastroscopy last evening which confirmed that I had swelling of the stomach lining caused by acid(gastritis) and a hiatus hernia. The swelling of the stomach lining also causes nausea and vomiting, so now I pray I can move forward and start to enjoy my new me. Good luck and please call your doctor.

Could well be stenosis like I am suffering with, go check with the doctor's. Good luck. Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App

Have a chat with your surgeon as it could be stenosis, this can start to happen as you progress from mushy foods to small solids. Unfortunately I am speaking from experience I had mine on November 7th and have been put back onto liquid's, tomorrow I am having a camera put down for a look see. Best of luck.

Internal bleeding after Gastric Sleeve Surgery
adriant replied to L.T.'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will, reading up on it, it seems the most likely thing is stenosis. But the camera will confirm this. My wife you is a nurse is livid with what has happened. Thoughts and prayers for you and your daughter. Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App
