Feeling Very Negative

[vampsy 29]

ok... Here it goes... I just really need to vent. Having major regrets. I know I may get bashed for this. But it's ok. I have no where else to vent. It may all be sunshine and rainbows for everybody else, but for me, it's been hell. At nine weeks out, I still can't tolerate solid food. I'm upset and jealous that I can't eat. I'm sick of Protein Shakes, Soup, and yogurt. Yes, I have lost weight but who wouldn't on a liquid diet for this long along with vomiting??? Now I'm going in tomorrow for another endoscopy to find out what the issue is. My Dr is very concerned but I'm ready to give up. I am hating life. I so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I honestly wish I could rewind time and get my tummy back.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Vent away. I hope the doctor figures out what's going on soon and give you some relief.

Let us know how you're doing.

When I read your post my heart went out to you. Who wouldn't feel that way after what you've been through. I'm 6+ weeks out and I've had thoughts of 'what if...' I hope you get some relief soon.

I hope you feel better. I decided not to do my surgery. I am gonna try diet and exsercise. Try and stay positive. I am sure they will figure out what is wrong. I got really nervous the weekend before my scheduled date before surgery and cancelled.

Oh good heavens, you have every right to vent! I am hoping your Doctor can get you in a better place with some relief! Please know that we are rooting for you feeling better and please post what you find out.

When your doc finds what's bothering you, you will feel better. It will be soon.

No, no, do not feel bad about this.

My mom is the same way. Evidently, she has an angulation in her sleeve and if she eats anything too dense.... it comes right back up. She is literally stuck on the soft food diet. I am so glad you are going for the endoscopy. My mom waited until she was 6 months out and now has some serious ulcers.

Ok, I just got home from the surgical center for my endoscopy. They found a kink in my stomach that's causing me to be sick. I have to wait for the final report to get to my Dr so he can decide what he wants to do. But the Dr today said he thinks the only way to correct this is by gastric bypass surgery. He said that when food hits they kink, it immediately comes back up. And thinner liquids like Water causes the acid reflux. this is why I'm only tolerating yogurt, shakes, and Soup. I am to continue with my ppi twice a day and to continue trying to get my Protein Shakes in... Yuck. But until we decide what's next I'm still on a full liquid diet. Nothing more.

You poor thing! I really feel for you - no wonder you feel terrible. Good luck with the correction - hope you are on to solids real soon 'cause they'll make you feel SO much better.

Glad they know what it is and hope they can fix it soon. Btw, love the new pic.

Did they tell you how this happens??? The stomach is a soft tissue, how does it kink? Is it a structure? Let us know when you know more!

Doc today said he doesn't know what causes it. It is rare but does happen. Said he will speak with my surgeon to ask if there was anything he did differently during my surgery such as an extra staple to control bleeding. Unfortunately, because my tummy heeled this way, he thinks the only way for me to get solids in is to reroute with the bypass. I'm hoping my surgeon has another idea. the bypass is what I did not want. The whole point of my getting the sleeve.
