Having Trouble Keeping Food Down



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if vomiting at the end of the day can happen? I am finding by dinner time it goes down okay but later my stomach will flip and my dinner comes up. I am four weeks post op.

Are you on shakes, purees, softs or solids?

I just started purees and I'm 5 weeks and yesterday and today I noticed that I can only get a few teaspoons in and it's feeling like my esophagus and the top of my stomach is a bit tighter feeling.

I haven't thrown up but I do feel weird. After 5 weeks of full liquid, they have me on purees one week - then sunday I start softs for a week then regular food. I think I'm going to be moving a little slower, because purees aren't going down as smooth as I would like.

I hope you feel better soon.

Is it possible you are eating too much? I only had the problem once, but that is exactly how it was. Looking back on it, I realized I had eaten too much even though too much was four small bites.

I remember I had to go back to shakes for a few days when I started throwing up. I also had the doc script me some Zofran to help. I think I was at 4 weeks or so when that happen. I will go away but it was not much fun that's for sure! My tummy was still pretty swollen at the time.

I am going to have my Protein shakes today and see if it makes a difference.

Hello,

How are you doing?

Have you gone back to your shakes?

I'm starting fresh today. It's been hard to do the shakes on the go. My kids are home with me all summer and it's hard to cook for them without eating. Today is a new day.

Hi tcbunny

I am doing better today. Yesterday and today I amm having my Protein Shakes and liquids. Better. Ian fortunate as far as cooking as I don't have small children at home to cook for. That has to be hard. You can do it!

      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.
