As of yesterday I am 1 month post op revision from the sleeve to the bypass...... I don't think my body is healing as well as it should be at this point due to me being type 2 diabetic..... I'm having a lot of abdominal pains I'm not sure what's the cause of it but I'm not able to keep food down and I'm pretty much stuck in stage 3 of my diet but for the most part I'm back in stage 1. I've vomited so much lately that I'm afraid to eat anything at first I thought I was eating to fast but that wasn't it, I simply can't eat any food and it's getting harder to get my fluids in now.... I'm really fatigued like all the time and I don't know what to do..... Help ????????????

Hi, I had my by pass May 2015, for 3 months I vomited everything, I was miserable. In Aug. 2015 my surgeon did an Endoscopy and loosened the pouch a little and I've been fine ever since. Might be something to think about. Good Luck!

I'm sorry you're having these issues! Vomiting up most of what you eat is not normal. You may be having trouble healing for multiple reasons... the diabetes can contribute to that but not getting enough calories, Vitamins, and Water can have a really detrimental effect on your healing. Definitely contact your doctor! It is not normal or healthy to be unable to keep your food down.

I feel your pain. I can honestly say I have had three good days since my surgery( March 1). Instead of me progressing to the next stage I am going backwards. I am back to only drinking Protein shakes. No matter what I try to eat I end up feeling like cap. I have gone to the doctor twice and this last time the doctor took a xray while swallowing barium and found out that the tube connected to my pouch is slowly closing. Because of this no matter what I drink or try to eat it gets stuck and slowly goes down then I get sick. UnfortunatelyI have nothing to throw up but lots of saliva. Most of the time I am dry heaving. The doctor will set me up with an out patient procedure to widen the tube.

As your doctor to do a xray. I hope this helps you. Good luck.

The barium swallowing x-ray darnell is speaking of was done on me while still in the hospital before allowing me to go from Clear liquids to just liquids. Took a whole 15 minutes from beginning of test to completion of test.

      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.
