I am just so upset. I was sleeved on May 3. It does not seem to matter how slow I drink or how many minutes I put in between my 1 oz little cups I still end up getting sick. I am so tired of throwing up. I have these little 1 oz cups and I make sure it takes me at least 10 minutes to drink one I wait at least 30 minutes before trying another 1 oz. so in 1.5 hours I am getting 3 oz of Fluid I usually end up throwing it up.

Waiting for the doctors office to open so I can go in and see if I can get some fluids and some help.

Did anyone else have this problem and what did you do????? I am so desperate. I just feel like my body is falling apart...please please please give me some advice..

(((Mary))) I'm so sorry you're having problems, but I'm glad you're going to the doctor. IIRC, you had a band to sleeve revision? I hope that everything is okay for you. I know it's tough when you can't even hold Water down. Please let us know what the doctor says.

went to the doctor and he sent me for an upper gi. no leaks or blockages just lots of swelling. it is like getting at my esophgus and it taking a very long time to actually go into the stomach due to the swelling right there. It is going through just taking time. I also received some IV fluids to help me get rehydrated. and some nausea meds and some meds to help my stomach stop spasming. I am feeling a little better was able to actually eat 4 oz yogurt this afternoon and I am trying to drink a little milk that is not going as well. did spit that back up.

I have to return to the doctor on wednesday and I have already been told due to the excessive swelling I will probably have another round of IV fluids to help my body along and keep me well hydrated.

keep me in thought and prayers...oh yeah have lost 24 pounds : )

      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.
