[Part 2] Can't Stop Spitting



Recommended Posts

So, as you guys requested. Went to the hospital for an IV, ended up with a 3 night stay, and no results as to why liquids and foods make me throw up or gag.

Surgeon thinks I irritated my walls and maybe was swollen at the time of sickness but now, I can keep liquids down.

They did a upper GI test and watched liquid flow from mouth to bowels with no clog or leak. Thats good.

Only problem?

A clear liquid under my tounge keeps forming and forming and forming. Does not stop. It's disgusting and despite trying not to be nauseasious if I swallow it, my stomach gets irritated.

Only been on PPI for 4 days. Once again, I'm sick of them telling me there's nothing wrong with me. What could cause the spitting ?

As per my last thread. Im Hydrated and using the bath room every 3 hrs.

try drinking your liquids warm - see if that cuts down on it?

You are salivating like that because your body is telling you that it needs food. Can you request a feeding tube unti they discover what the problem is?

Did you know four doctors couldn't tell me that?

Are you serious?

I will demand that they give me my mushy diet. So I can eat something. I have not had food in two weeks.

Surgery was in 12.12.11

I love you. I seriously do. I hope you're right. I'll post back after they are done treating me like ****.

      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.
