Regrets so far cant keep anything down still



Recommended Posts

I got sleeved 8/4 and I still cannot keep anything thats not Soup or reallyyy soggy mashed potatoes down. Anything else I throw up. No Protein I can drink. I see my doctor he gave me something for gas and it doesnt work. At this point I regret the surgery so much.

I'm sorry. I am pre-surgery so not much help probably. Have you tried adding unflavored Protein Powder to Soup or even flavored water like Crystal Light? Are you able to get in enough Water? ?

It definitely sounds like you need to be talking to your doctor. I just started solid foods at 5 weeks post op and I'm having trouble keeping things down. I think either I'm eating too fast or need to start with foods much easier to digest. Since this is just day 2 I'm learning what my body can tolerate. I love chicken and "think" I'm eating very small bites but can't seem to get down 3 oz. yet. I think the Isopure drinks jurisjitsu recommended would be a terrific way to get your Protein.

My surgeon made Nexium24 a standard part of my diet for the first 3 months......that probably helps. I take it first thing in the morning..............break it in half and add it to a teaspoon of yogurt. It's pretty much flavorless so I can get it down pretty easily.

Also, I don't know you're physical condition but my surgeon had me up and walking the morning after my surgery. The more walking the better it was for gas pain.

We're all so different that it's really best to talk to your surgeon because they know your medical condition.

Good luck!

Hi all, thanks for your concern. I think additional testing needs to be done Im scared because even thick Soup doesnt work for me let alone yogurt or hummus or anything. Like right now I just had a quarter of a cup of soup and feel uneasy. I can try powder Protein because I hear its so important to have. But yes, another appointment is needed I think.

@@chuswysly is there a reason you are trying to force yourself to eat 3 ounces of chicken? I couldn't eat that much until well after a year post-op, and I think I'm pretty normal that way.

I'm trying to get in my 75-100 grams of Protein............and you're right.............I can't eat 3 oz at a time. It took me pretty much all day to eat three ounces. Struggling with the Protein shakes (gag) so just picked up some Isopure today and going to try that. Before surgery 3 oz sounded like such a little portion.....now it sounds overwhelming!

      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?

      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.
