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.

you will consume all liquids in it just takes time be patient but call dr you can dehydrate very easy. I took Zofran for first 9 months for nausea so i could keep my food/ liquids in ..

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
