Had my surgery, haven't kept anything down since then.

Basically bad acid reflux, gagging and burping with every sip....even the meds seem impossible to keep down...trying to get some Popsicles and Jello, maybe that will help

Did your doctor prescribe a Pepcid or Tums for you to take? This has made a world of difference for me. I am 1 week post op. I am also surprised that you can have Jello so soon after surgery. My doc and nut told me that if it did not go through a strainer easily I could not have it for the first 21 days to avoid any complications. good luck and try to stay hydrated.

So sorry for your complications but congrats on taking the step to be healthier. I had my sleeve on 6/12/14 and gas-x and a Prilosec have made a difference for me. Call your doc of nut and ask first. Good luck

I had my surgery the 16th as well. I take pepsid. I broke open the capsule and they are tiny little beads. My issue is just pain. No problem with keeping anything down. Hope it gets better for both of us.

Hey!!! Great we are op-buddies....

My pain is slowly subsiding, but my brushing on the right side is getting worse...sometimes out of nowhere I take a sharp quick breath....but apart from that I'm slowly taking my fluids

Hope it does get better

Omg, you also flew to Jordan to have wls? Did you have it by Dr Khrais by any chance? In Amman? If you did we were in hospital together. I flew back to London yesterday. And going back to work tomorrow. My surgery was on the 14th! Amazing :-) even if different surgeons... we have to catch up. And by the way, I'm sure you are much better today!! By the way, get someone to cook a good chicken Soup for you! It was like elixir for my tummy after the bloody apple juice got. Since I'm feeling so good!

Do you have medical support back where you live, I.e doctor for follow up, nut to guide and keep you moving forward, etc. And WOW you flew, great job, you still need to go slow and treat yourself well.

So far it's getting better, I'm able to drink more without throwing up...the Soups really help, had some mint tea with cinnamon...thought I might as well add some natural blood thinners somewhere in my drinks....

I'm in kenya now, preparing for some video shoots, I plan on taking it easy, but I will be in on my feet a lot

After I'm done, then will fly back to London

I did have Dr.khrais, 14, Saturday....we were probably on the same floor :P....

I am much better today, I can keep things down...drinking my fluids for the day is easier...I just keep sipping....

Soup is amazing!! Your right, even tea worked wonders for me...

Good luck with work, let's stay in touch

Hopefully things will be smooth

      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.

      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.
