im going to tell my nurse practioner that if they can stop the vomitting somehow, im willing to keep the stent in but if the vomitting cant be controlled, the stent must come out!

i dont wanna feel like i wasted 2weeks for nothing. i pray that maybe my leak is already healed but something tells me that with the lack of nutrition & constant vomitting.... i doubt it.

I worry that the vomiting is just going to keep the leak open with it contracting the stomach. I hope not - I guess if the expert isn't worried maybe not.

Can't they give you a TPN through a PICC line until your issues are resolved? I can't believe they haven't suggested that to you. You can do that at you own home, you don't phave to be hospitalized. They could also put other meds and Vitamins in with it. Nothing goes into your stomach and you do not gain weight. i was on one for 18 days cuz they thought I had a leak in my esophagus from the hiatial hernia part of the surgery. If you have a leak, I would think that they would have put you on it already. i am praying for you and just can't imagine what you must be going through!

The TPN is for food and nourishment. I was on 1300 calorie bag per day, but you don't gain weight and then after you stop it, you lose some Water weight the first week off. i think you should ask about it since it sounds to me like it would do you good while the leak is healing.

I was on a much higher calorie tpn..I gained 13 pounds but it was worth it and I lost the 13 pounds a little over a week after I went off of it. If you feel as bad as you say you do,,I can't believe they haven't suggested this to you either.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
