My surgery was 2/26/19 and I’m just always feeling crummy. My incisions have for the most part healed well. But I have a constant ache in my stomach. Sipping fluids hurts eating well chewed foods hurt(sometimes doesn’t stay down) both times it was a meat product. Dr said to move back to purée which i did but the pain is still a constant thing. Anyone else have this happen and how long until I feel normal again? Sometimes i regret this due to this pain.

You may need to undergo another endoscopy, make sure there are no ulcers, strictures and make sure the operative path is all clear inside. I have been on liquid/puree since last August because of those things in my life, and it is not fun to go through. Never have dumped , the Big bugaboo of bypassers, food doesn't stay down long enough to do that! One blessing, if it can be called that, food doesn't stay down long enough to develop a smell, still can't hardly eat meats, Precious Pouch may be 6 months old but she is in charge and has NO Sense of Humor. But I take each attempt as still a growth experience. And do my level best to smile😝 no matter what comes or comes up.

I had my sleeve surgery in 2013. Eating anything is a problem to this day.

Glad you are working with your surgeon on this issue. I hope they can figure out your situation and you are out of pain soon. (hugs)

      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.
