I am not even coming close to meeting my Protein goals. And i am so sick of being sick!! Can anyone help? Anyone feel this way? When does it get better!!!

I have been having a similar problem. I often have pain when I eat and the dry heaves. I am following the program I was taught - no liquids 1/2 hour before or after eating, small bites, chew THOROUGHLY, wait 5-10 minutes between each bite.

I HIGHLY recommend you contact your doctor/surgeon immediately.

I had gastric bypass. I'm currently waiting on tests - Upper GI and Endoscopy. My surgeon believes that problem is that the tube that connects the stomach (the bypass) has started to close up. It's rare but does happen. The solution is to have the opening widened. This is done by a Gastroenterologist and, thankfully, can be done without having to be cut open again.

To make it through this time I have been living on very watery shakes, plain greek yogurt, and refried Beans.

Best of luck to you.

Mario

I was doing the same thing it just takes a little more time. Good luck and its OK to go slow.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
