Have you contacted your doctor??? You need to!! That doesn't sound good to me at all!

Have you talked with your doctor? If not your really need to. Protein is absolutely essential along with the liquids. Do you have a medicine for nausea? This can turn around and will but it sounds like you need some help.

Something sounds very wrong! I would contact my doctor asap. I have a friend who has had trouble moving from soft/pureed to whole foods - same symptoms, and her doc discussed putting her on a feeding tube. I would call asap! I hope it gets better!

I agree with everyone else...if you haven't already contacted your doctor, please do that right away. There may be something wrong, and your doctor can most likely offer you some medication to help with the nausea. It's also possible you have an allergy to something in your Protein Powder. I have heard of several folks who discovered a whey allergy postop & they described similar symptoms. Good luck to you!

You could have a stricture. If that's the case it can be opened up and you won't be so miserable. I existed like that for many years with my lap band. You shouldn't have to live that way. Call your doc and I hope you feel better soon.

Call your doctor sounds like dehydration. I had the same and had to be readmitted to the hospital. Wishing you all the best.

Agreed call your doc. During the first 6 weeks you should be limiting to liquids and mushy. I remember getting the slimes if I ate something that was to hard for my sleeve or if I ate or drank too much at one time. Take small sips. It could however be something else. so please do call your doctor. I know you've heard this already.. but it gets better. Stay strong!! This too shall pass

thanks everybody for your posts I have an appt with my doctor this week. Just real frustrated I cant even keep Water down I starting to regret the surgery

[luckyqueenbee 14]

Also has anyone experienced coughing up brown stuff on ocassion I have that as well

I think it sounds like a more urgent thing than just sometime this week.

[PGee 318]

And the coughing up brown stuff doesn't sound good either....please let us know how the doctor's appointment goes.......I had problems that first week with spasms, couldn't get a trickle down without a lot of pain.....but that quickly went away.....hope you get answers/solution to this quickly.

Im thinking I might go to the emergency room at the hospital I did the surgery

I honestly think this would be a good idea. You are probably already dehydrated and the fluids will help you to feel better.
