Hi all

I will be 3 weeks post op on wed Jan 28. I am on purée food, but every time I eat I feel terrible. I have tried mashed potatoes, eggs, grits, Beans, avacados, and a few other things. I am not even coming close to meeting my Protein goals. And i am so sick of being sick!! Can anyone help? Anyone feel this way? When does it get better!!!

I have been having a similar problem. I often have pain when I eat and the dry heaves. I am following the program I was taught - no liquids 1/2 hour before or after eating, small bites, chew THOROUGHLY, wait 5-10 minutes between each bite.

I HIGHLY recommend you contact your doctor/surgeon immediately.

I had gastric bypass. I'm currently waiting on tests - Upper GI and Endoscopy. My surgeon believes that problem is that the tube that connects the stomach (the bypass) has started to close up. It's rare but does happen. The solution is to have the opening widened. This is done by a Gastroenterologist and, thankfully, can be done without having to be cut open again.

To make it through this time I have been living on very watery shakes, plain greek yogurt, and refried Beans.

Best of luck to you.

Mario

      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?
