I need help what should i do?



Recommended Posts

So my surgery was Feb 4, and I'm 6 weeks post op, so far I've lost 53 pounds, from 252 down to 199.5 which I'm excited about, however I'm having problems advancing to the solid stage, I haven't been able yet to do that. Every time I try something my stomach hurts like crazy and I feel like the food is stock on my throat therefore I end up throwing up. Until I throw up everything I attempted to eat I won't feel good. The only solid thing that I could eat is the soda crackers and its maybe 2 of them. I'm really afraid that I end up going back to the hospital because a lot of people have told me that i might have a stricture, even though I'm drinking my Vitamins and Protein Shakes I still feel weak and tired. It's this normal??

Don't be afraid of a stricture, I am still on phase 1 (clear liquids) but my doctor did explain a stricture could happen and all they do is go in by endoscopy and "pop it" open. It shouldn't hurt as you will most likely be asleep through the process. You better check with your surgeon!!! Feel better soon. :)

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
