Hello. My name is Francie. Im new here. I had my RNY surgery on Oct 14th. I need some guidance please

Does anyone get sick when they eat? Im on the phase 3 of the diet. I can take one or 2 bites of something and it comes right back up. its not every time but most of the time. It hurts. It hurts to take my medicine too. I hate this feeling. has anyone had a stricture? What does it feel like? I take prilosec everyday.

I have one that I've had 4 endoscopies and dilations for. You probably need to let your dr know what's going on.

I am not able to get the fluids or Protein in by far. food gets stuck and my medicine gets stuck. When food gets stuck it is very painful and I end up with n/v.

you just had surgery. this is a complaint you need to talk to your doctor about. he will advise you on eating and taking your medication. I have a band so I can't advise you about food etc. but I do know you need to call your doctor immediately

At 2 months out, I was still only eating a teaspoon or 2 for a meal. My sleeve stayed swollen for a long time and I could only handle Cream of Mushroom Soup, and a few weeks later, refried Beans with pureed turkey hamburger. Even though I was cleared for full foods at 4 weeks, it was months before I could eat chicken/eggs or vegetables like carrots or squash or any kind of fruit. During my 1st 6 months, the healthy food was the hardest to digest. The funny thing is, processed foods like Peanut Butter were very easy to eat, so I had to carefully portion it out to myslef.

When I would eat something Frankensleeve didn't like, he would seize up and it literally felt like stones grinding in my stomach. And it hurt. It does get better. I lived on Cream of Mushroom Soup and Protein shakes for a few months. I ate more than soup during that time, but I'm talkin bout a teaspoon size bite here and there. :-)

Once you're released to full foods, try eating foods that are more pureed - like refried Beans and finely ground turkey - I put my turkey hamburger through a food processor and mixed it into the beans.

      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.
