Tough time keeping food down



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved May 14. I healed fantastic, and I am loosing weight at a good steady pace. Down 22 lbs now. When I eat I -seem to want to throw it up. It sits in my top half and I have a hard time keeping it down. Same reaction no matter what I eat- how fast or slow I eat. I can only fit in average 700-800 calories a day. Anyone else like this?

i wonder if you have a stricture in your esophagus? i have dealt with esophageal stricture for many years. i would call the surgeon office and run it by them.

I was having the same problem a few weeks ago. I started eating softer, wetter foods like Soups, stews, curries, rather than say grilled fish. That seemed to solve it, and I just this past week or so have started adding back in some whole Proteins, like small bites of grilled chicken. Hope this helps... I was pretty miserable there for a couple of weeks though, so I know what you're going through.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
