Recommended Posts

I will be 5 weeks tomorrow, I have never experienced nausea, I have never had gerd, but yesterday, I had very moist mushy scrambled eggs mixed with grits, and Today, I had some fajita chicken with peppers and onions, cooked very well and mushy, and it got stuck and i had to make it come up....why is this happening now and not before.....I would think it gets better, not more difficult...anybody??

Not sure, but Could this be the pepper skin gettin?g stuck at the pouch opening? This would cause nausea...

well, I wasn't nauseated, it just kinda hurt, like I ate too much, but I know I didn't...so I guess it got stuck, not sure, but i happened yesterday with the eggs and grits too...Not sure what is going on...feels like it is in my lower esophogus instead of my stomach??

I would really call your doc tomorrow. Not sure what it is either, but I would be worried if you don't give them a call

Both chicken and eggs were hard for me to eat in the beginning. Maybe ur just not ready for them yet. Always b safe and call the doc. Best Wishes

Couldn't keep food down. Then eventually couldn't keep liquids down. It hurt. Lots of vomiting. The gi doc said its normal for 2-3 dilations. I had two. And no. The last time was in July last year about 3 months post surgery.

My experience was every day was different. Six months out there are still things that were wonderful one day and horrible the next. It sucks to be in that process, but hoping you better ASAP.

I've had five strictures and the relief after each one is incredible. A day or two of tenderness and Then it's all good. Sooner or later the body adjusts and after that, it's far smoother sailing. Just remember to chew like crazy before swallowing. It's easy to get distracted.

      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.
