Can't keep anything down besides water!



Recommended Posts

It seems that the only thing that settles in my tummy is Water. Everything else I get severe pain after swallowing, almost like a rush of heart burn. I throw up Jello, Protein drinks/shakes, and Soups. The only safe thing for me is water. I contacted my doctors office and they seemed like it was no big deal, to try and mix things together.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I am 1 week post op.

No, that was not my experience at all. I never vomited at all. If this keeps happening I would call back.

I had a hard time one week out two. I'm 3 weeks out today and couldn't really have any Soups or fish until week 2. It will get better. Stay hydrated. That's so important and just drink what you can throughout the day or your Protein Shakes and then add a little as you can. It gets better I promise.

Tomorrow will be 5 weeks post op for me. Although I didn't vomit, I would get sick from drinking too fast trying to make sure I got all of my Protein and fluids in for the day.

Make sure you are not trying to rush to get everything in. Try to start drinking early in the morning and take your time throughout the day. It will get better.

Eat slowly and pea sized bites. Nothing spiced. Spices can upset the tummy. If this doesn't work, call your doctor immediately.

Protein Shakes did not sit well with me post op. Try switching up your shakes? I used Unjury's chicken Soup. My nutritionist was worried it was too much sodium but I survived. lol!

Try Protein 2o. It tastes sort of like gator aid and has fifteen grams of protein. I love the grape and cherry and I find I can stomach those better in the morning when I'm prone to nausea. I'm also mixing my shakes with Water because I don't feel ready for creamy textures from skim or almond milk. Good luck.

      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.
