PoppyAnn 7 Posted November 23, 2012 I had my surgery 5-12-12 and still dealing with tummy upset and vomiting. I have very few foods I can eat. I went into surgery weighing 316 and I am 205 today. The weight lose is gear , but my good days are far and few between. My highest weight 4 years ago was 400. 2 dmk951 and Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tstark 0 Posted November 23, 2012 That's probably my biggest fear- not ever feeling better. I'm two and a half weeks out, still battling soft liquid foods. Not necessarily nausea, but I don't like how it feels when I eat. Doc said focus on Water intake first, then Protein, then soft liquid foods if I can, but let's face it, if all I can ever tolerate is water I'll die. I'll be following this thread, looking for inspiration and hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crc0710 15 Posted November 24, 2012 Girl I swear we are in the same church chour I have been in the hosiptal twice in the past two week. They finial found that I have two stamples going into my pouch which was causing pain were every time I ate or drank it felt like knife in my chest and stomach. They also found that my small intestines are enlarged. They are hoping that will go down but if not or if the pain does not go away I might have to have a feeding tube put in. I am hoping not. I just want to be better and get a life outside of the house without taking a bag or pills Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worm2872 635 Posted November 24, 2012 I was only four days out but had a stricture in my small intestine. Let me tell you, you can't tolerate even Water. So make sure your dr know all the details. I had another surgery yesterday now it seems like it's just the pain meds making me sick. There are about three different prescriptions they can offer you as well. One is a patch for behind the ear. Good luck! 1 PoppyAnn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
