Attempted to take my Vitamins a bit ago, couldn't finish all of them before I started throwing up (ugh I kno, sorry!) Well I noticed some specks of blood. Not sure if I should worry or not. I'm 19days PO, thinking it might be from stomach healing? I don't know. Help!

Probably, but best to call the doctor to just ask. :)

What color is the blood? Bright red or dark? Might be best to call your doctor.

Scary Addry! I sure hope you are able to get in touch with dr soon. You can't eat at all? How is drinking?

I don't like what the dr said. If you still have a lot of blood coming up and can't keep anything down I'd go to the ER. Bright red doesnt sound normal to me.

Have you been taking any proton pump inhibitors or antacids after the surgery?

      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.
