6 Weeks Out And Tolerating Less?



Recommended Posts

I'm six weeks and a few days out and it seems like the last week I've been tolerating less than I was in weeks four and five. For example tonight I had white bean chicken chili, had about 4-5 bites and was vomiting within 20 mins. Last night the same thing happened with a half dollar sized (spherical of course, not flat) turkey meatball. My pace hasn't increased, my volume hasn't increased, and these are things I was able to eat a week ago. I'm not sick with a bug or the flu because after I'm done "getting rid" of whatever I ate I'm fine, no fever or malise at all. I'm stumped. I'm chewing well, not drinking while I eat... I don't really get it. Has this happened to anyone else?

I am 6 weeks out as well and I have noticed a decrease in my intake but I have not had any vomiting. Hope you feel better soon.

Hello all I had surgery on 9/17/12 and I have experience the same thing. Everything was fine until Tuesday 10/23 and all if a sudden I start vomiting every hour. Call the my surgeon office and they had me come in on 10/24 and had an upper gi done again to see if I had a narrowing and sure enough I have a narrowing in my stomach. All I can get in my stomach is 2 oz of food. I will find out what they are going to do next Thursday. So I am back to soft puree food and if I have difficult with that I have to go all the way back to just liquids until I am seen again. I was at our phase 1 which was cheese, crackers, deli turkey meat, eggs, tuna and chicken salad, and watermelon, etc.

Ugh! I'm so sorry! I have an apt on the 5th. Hopefully it's nothing.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
