Haven't seen a dr since 4 weeks



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in AZ on 4/28 and then I saw my dr 2 weeks post op and then again in two more weeks for upper scope because I couldn't keep anything down... due to family reasons I had to go back to NY and I haven't seen a dr since then and I'm now 3 months post op and I can't see a dr until Sept 18th .. food is still getting stuck and I still throw up daily ... Idk know what to do . I'm starting to get worried . I'm 51 lbs down since surgery and I feel like I'm losing so slow

Are you cutting your food into really small pieces and chewing well? The only time things get stuck for me is when the piece of food is too big.

Are you able to drink shakes without any issues?

Maybe go back to shakes till you see your Dr., just to make sure you're reaching your Protein target.

I would also keep a food log, note how you feel after eating it. (If you vomited, food got stuck or anything else). Take this with you to the Drs. Maybe you can see a pattern or discover a food intolerance.

I love cheese and eat it regularly. Just be careful of the fat content and the sodium in the lunch meat.

I hope it's resolved for you.

      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.
