I am about three months post op, and I am having a hard time keeping normal food down. Even after a few bites I am rushing to bathroom to throw up. I have finally had to resort to Protein shakes and an occasionally a Protein Bar. Is there any suggestions. I am waiting to see my doc next week but I am scared that he will tell me bad news.

Any suggestions

I'd recommend that you call your doctor first thing tomorrow to have the conversation - whether it's good or bad news, you need to know...and your doctor will be the best person to give advice on what to do.

I agree with the person who posted above. At three months post op you should be able to tolerate food very well. If you are taking small bites , chewing them well , eating slowly , not drinking while eating and are still throwing up you definitely need to go to the doctor. It may be that the sleeve is too narrow also known as stricture and needs to be stretched a little so you can eat normally. Good luck and I hope all goes well for you.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
