I am 26 days out from my surgery. I haven't eaten anything in about 6 days....and before that another six days. I have the dry heaves and I throw up. I had to go to the ER last Saturday because I was dehydrated.....and I'm on the verge of it again. I always feel like there is something in my throat. And when I spit...this white throthy spit comes out. I feel like crap everytime I have a little sip of Water. The ER doctor also did a CAT scan, and everything looks good. I don't know if anyone has dealt with any of these symptoms... if so, please help!

Water makes me sick, I for some odd reason can tolerate Water in the early morning hours of the night from 2am-6am I sip every hour and I sleep sitting up it helps go down smoother, that's just me though I'm not saying you have to do the same. I drink sweet tea and unsweet tea through out the day. Protein sucks but I'm forcing myself little sips at a time. My surgery was 8/03

Did your surgeon recommend a acid reducer or PPI. Are you taking zofram or an anti-nausea medicine. I would call them. They can help! You might have a stricture. Good luck!

I sure as hell wouldn't be waiting around.

What you are experiencing is abnormal and you should have been given instructions from your surgeon on what is normal and what is not.

Not taking in any Protein and nutrients for two six day periods when you are only 26 days post op is not safe.

Don't wait around.

I tried what u said. I stayed up wayyyy late (early morning) and I was able to get cold water down with no problem... while laying in an upright position. This has made me feel a little better about my situation. Next is trying to drink during the day....and be able to eat something.

Obviously see your docs immediately as our friends here have suggested. If you have any unflavored Protein powder, like unjury, maybe try and mix that into your Water. Basically disappears and doesn't thicken it much. Even a half or quarter scoop will give you something.

If you still have your gallbladder, ask for an ultrasound of it. I was sleeved on 7/7. I had two good weeks and then four miserable ones. They finally discovered that my gallbladder was bad. After they took it out, I was able to get liquid and Protein in. I have an 11 inch wound though and am in a lot of pain.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
