I am 3 weeks out and can not get more than 16oz liquid in. Forget food. I am not getting but like 10 to 20 grams of protein and only averaging 200 calories a day. Should I be concerned?

I am 7 weeks post op sleeve. I have never been able to drink more than 32 oz in 24 hours. I have been rehydrated in er every other week. I have had to have sleeve dilated because Fluid will just sit on top. I became lactose intolerant. I have passed 2 kidney stones. Had a uti and yeast infection. Had to be intubated for sleeve to be dilated. Had side effect to anesthesia for the dilation. I still can’t eat solids. I am gray in color, always cold and tired. I had to throw a fit at week 5 with the Np because u can’t see ur dr only np after surgery. They made the dr call me and that’s how I got to the specialist to do dilation. I have been on zofran, carafate and Reglan. I vomit bile at night while I sleep. All they say all normal except the need for dilation. Please if anyone has had these issues let me know.

I am 3 weeks out sleeve. I can not get more than 16oz fluid a day down. I am averaging 200 calories per day. Should I be concerned? Is this normal?
