I don't know if I can do this anymore.... Seriously considering having this thing reversed. I am 4 weeks post op, however, had to have a second surgery for bowel obstruction a week ago. I am so sick all the time that I'm barely able to eat anything. It's a chore to even get enough Fluid in. My weight is still higher than it was before the second surgery. I am at my wits end... I ask myself every 15 minutes what I did to myself and why!?! I'm literally starving my body and I am still not losing weight. Help please?

In order to lose, you need to eat, and get the Protein and Water in. Otherwise your body knows it's starving and holds on to everything! I feel so bad that you aren't doing well, but you've had two surgeries! Give it a chance, you body needs to heal. It will happen. Can you do Protein shakes at all? Even if you did 2 or 3 a day, you could get your Protein in, and then would start losing. What does your dr say? You are in my thoughts, hope you start to feel better really soon! :(

Hang in there everyone. Make sure you are in contact with your doctor about the nausea. They are there to help you. It does get better. I was sick for about 3 months. I can now eat anything I want and have lost 116. You just have to make it through the storm before you can see the rainbow!

I'm so sorry you're going through hell. As for the weight thing, I wouldn't worry about that just yet. You have had 2 surgeries, and I know for bowel obstruction's especially, they really like to load you with fluids. That coupled with not being able to eat just has your body in a state of shock right now, making it unwilling to give up the weight.

Are you able to take anything for the nausea? Like a zofran, or if you can literally take nothing by mouth, what about a suppository for the nausea?

I wish you the best and hope everything starts to improve soon for you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
