9 wks out and unable to eat again

[ruskatie 15]

I am almost 10 weeks out and for the last 3 days I have been barely able to eat. I want to know if anyone else is having this problem? For the last several weeks I was able to get my Protein and calories in but three days ago it felt like I was back to my 1st week after surgery. I take a few sips of my Protein Shake and then feel as if I am going to throw it back up again (feel over-full). This has been continuous for 3 days now. It took me all day yesterday to get even 2 Protein Shakes down. I had three bites of scrambled egg for dinner and got so choked up that I almost vomited it back up again. Anyone else ever go through something like this? If you did, can you let me know how long it lasted?

I have never experienced this, have you put in a call to your doctor?

I have a call into the doctor and am waiting for the NUT to email me back as well. Its just getting frustrating as I want to eat but the moment I take a bite it chokes me and I have to either spit it out or hope that it stays down.

Have you tried something like applesause, or a sugar free popcicle or Jello? something that you don't have to chew?

Until you hear from your surgeon, you probably should go back to stage 1, Clear Liquids and Proteins. If a new stage causes problems, your best bet is to drop back a stage. Your surgeon is your best resource.

WOW - Sorry you're having so much trouble. I hope it passes soon. Please let us know what your surgeon says and how things turn out for you. Keep the faith!

Talked to my doc and he did as happygosusan said and dropped me back to mushy foods. He said that in all likelihood with all of the complications that I had during surgery, there is a real chance that my stomach has swollen again because it is irritated by the solids. SO I am back on my Protein Shakes and mushy foods for the next two weeks. He wants me to try solids only one day a week during that time and see how I do. If those two days cause me trouble, he is going to do another scope and see what might be going on. SO back to soft foods again - Ugg!
