So to top this week off of still being in the hospital since Sunday I am still so nauseous and unable to drink much so my doctors have put in a picc line. I will have get TPN infusions every night starting tonight and continuing when I get home. This will give me my Protein, fluids, and nutrients I'm not getting from eating and drinking. I may need to do that for 6-8 weeks ???? Has anyone else had to do this after surgery? What was your experience?

So sorry to hear of your complication.

Thank you, it's definitely been frustrating. I just want to feel better and they say it could be a week or months before I feel better. They said it's just a waiting game which I don't want to hear!

Is this a rare occurrence??? Reading this FREAKS me out!

I'm not sure. I had my sleeve May 27th and had bad pain for 3 weeks. Then came the extreme nausea and I was admitted to the hospital where they did a swallow test where they found I had a kink in the end of my pouch that was restricting things from going through easily. They were able to dilate it but don't really know when I'll feel better. Since I'm still not able to eat or drink much they are sending me home with a picc line so I won't be dehydrated and malnourished

How are you feeling???

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I still feel pretty bad. I still can't really eat or drink anything. I'm not overwhelmingly nauseous 24/7 anymore but I still have a lot of nausea. I called my doctor on Friday and they said if I'm still having so much trouble over the weekend I can a) go to ER again B) call on call surgeon c) call them back Tuesday morning and they can maybe get me in for another procedure. I'm trying to hold off until Tuesday

      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.
