[NewgirlfromMd 63]

I have been having so many heaving. I started on mashed potatoes very mashed. Then I went to eggs now I'm just trying stuff I'm hungry I eat about every 2 hours. My family had pizza an I had some it started bad stomach pains but I'm hungry I can't stick to the diet plan. I went two weeks all liquids an now I'm a week an a day out an I'm hungry for more food an I'm weak I try it but I could only eat a little. But I feel like this was wrong I like food I just need a tool to help me but its not helping much as I thought I can eat solids a week out help

I'm sorry you are having so much trouble. Unfortunately you seem to have bad info. Did you spend time with a nutritionist? I know the plan is different from doctor to doctor so I am just going to tell you about the plan I am on. My surgery was 3/19/2015 so I am one week out. You should probably be on the full liquid diet. That means 3 meals a day that consist of about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of very thin food. Protein is key so yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, cream Soup made with milk, as such. In between meals you should be drinking 4oz Protein Shakes. Three a day. Drink all day. 64oz of no calories fluids. You can do this! If you drink your fluids & follow the plan 100% you shouldn't be so hungry. Definitely contact your nutritionist if you have one. Good luck & it's not to late to start over.

I'm having some pretty severe pains all down my left side were they took the extra stomach out. I have had diarrhea everyday since my surgery an its not even controllable. I fell like I can't go any where an the pain takes me off my feet sometimes what could that be?

Call your surgeon. You're dealing with way more than anyone here is qualified to help you with.

Time to call your doctor. You need something to control the loose stools before you get dehydrated. You probably also need something for pain. Overall if you are this miserable you need to call your doctor.

I read that you can become lactose intolerant after the surgery and this can cause diarrhea also...try switching to soy or almond milk for your Protein Drinks to see if that helps. Good luck
