I had the sleeve done on February 22 of this year. I have had stomach pain on and off but nothing major. They said I have hematomas and the are getting smaller. I did have a small kidney stone which I think it has passed but I think I have a new one. For the last 8 days I have been having issues with keep solid food down. The surgeon said to go on liquids for a week. I go to the Urologist on Monday to see if that could be causing my issues? (pee blood) I have a lot of phlegm no matter what I eat or drink. Any one have any ideas or had the same issue? Help? I'm going on vacation on Wednesday for 2 weeks. Hope it wont be all liquids the whole time.

A bit graphic but when you say phlegm - do you mean slime stuff from your stomach, or from your lungs?

Even 16 months out, if I forget to chew something it sticks a bit in my slender tunny, and then I get “the slimes” where your body makes slimy mucus to help the food passage - but it sometimes is too much and makes the problem worse, so it sort of pops out my mouth. Like vomit, doesn’t taste like vomit though.

if it is phlegm from your lungs, appearing when you cough, I think this would signal a different issue to your doctor...

I chew a lot so I know its not from chewing enough or eat to fast. The slimes are really bad it doesn't matter it happens after one swallow.

      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.
