I want to say thank you! The info you posted about your symptoms helped me recognize mine pretty quickly. Mine was a little different. My bowl twisted with a staple three days out but the symptoms were the same. Nothing staying down and severe nausea. I too had another surgery and so far so good. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing.

yes it is!! I am waiting on a call from doctor as we speak. just over the past few days food was either painful or uncomfortable going down today Water started being uncomfortable and vomited twice. I literally took one sip of Isopure grape frost to get my thyroid medicine down and was in pain for about an hour and felt better after vomiting. and it wasn't induced either

That just doesn't sound good. You shouldn't be in that much pain this far out.

They did an upper and lower GI on me (barium not scope). It was nasty but they found the issue quick.

If you are still in pain I'd call them again. Prayers!

      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.
