"vomiting" Sort Of Have Questions Need Advice



Recommended Posts

I am 16 days post op and up until a few days ago I have had minimal problems. Wednesday and today I have had bouts of "vomiting" meaning I feel really sick my mouth gets watery I go to the toilet my stomach tenses but nothing comes out. This is even after drinking 2 minutes before. I am dry heaving basically. My question is that normal for sleeves? Since our stomachs hold so little can I just not throw up normally?

Oh, you can throw up normally. It sounds like what you have are "slimes." They come from eating or drinking too fast, too much, or something your stomach can't tolerate yet. Slow yourself down, keep tabs on what is making you feel bad, maybe try to avoid it for a while. You are a very new post-op and it takes a little while to get used to how your stomach responds now.

I second that ^

When I was at your stage I threw up alot. Some days I could tolerate a product other days I couldnt. Water sucked, apple juice was gold. Apple sauce, Soups, eggs= toilet for me. I havent tried them again yet. I chocolate proteined it out. Now I might throw up once every few days due to trying new things

      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.
