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.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
