Well went to dr had a upper gi my hermit is to tight anyone had it stretched. What do they do and u don't stay in hospital do u

Well dr has me scheduled

For a upper gi in the morning not looking forward to that liquid I pulled last time

I made my own Soup that's what saved me. Boil chicken and put in I can chicken broth. Add Italian seasons put in a jar of sauce add.bollioun cubes let boil take chicken out and I used cheese cloth to take any oils out it is so good

I think I'm dehydrated I try N drink. But it feels so uncomfortable N feel like I'm going to puke what else.can I do to feel better I'm. Calling my dr tomorr

I do and I use a baby spoon I take two bites and that's it

I'm not sure if this is the way it suppose to be . I'm just. 3 weeks out and today was hard every thing I ate purée hurt once it hit my chest and stomach

The swallow test was horrible I threw up and it hurt like a b***h. So be prepared

It hurts after a bit or two and feels stuck in the middle

I'm three weeks out on purée. Every time I eat it feels like its stuck and hurts going down

Did u have a swallow test day after surgery ?

Nexium is expensive isn't it? I take Pantoprazole 40mg twice a day' date=' it works just as good and is only 10 for a month supply of 60 pills with my insurance.(they don't cover nexium)[/quote']

My insurance covered nexium And it was ordered crushed

I get the same feeling plus a clear mucus gets me spitting up a little' date=' welcome to sliming.

Are you taking your PPI medicine?[/quote']

Yes nexium

I had this until about 8 weeks out. It's gone now. It'll go away. Eat slower' date=' chew lots, tiny bites, and NEVER drink while eating. It'll help.[/quote']

Ya I do all that and thanks for the light at the end of the tunnel. Did it feel like something was stuck in your throat

You can do it . After its over Is the hard part

I'm 3weeks out and on purée . It seems when I swallow it feels like its stuck and my stomach starts hurting and I get nauseous . I'm hoping it goes away help

On purée and can't tolerate meat my husband made chicken I tried to mush it up but didnt help . I just can't do the Protein powder anymore . I try and try

I miss coffee! My surgeon said I could drink Decaf tea' date=' but can't have decaf coffee until 3 months post-op. He said there is a chemical/acid in coffee -- even decaf -- that could cause ulcerations in my new tummy. I have had a non-fat latte every day for 7 years! I love steaming the milk and the smell of the coffee pods as I put them in my Starbucks Barista machine! I have a countdown timer on my phone that will signal June 21, 2012 when I will try my first post-op non-fat (or 1%) decaf latte.

Here's a TMI story: I went for my 2-week post-op doctor appointment and asked the doc when I could have my latte again. He said 3 months. I told my husband with great enthusiasm, but he asked, "Great for your latte, but when can we have sex again?" I looked at him with a blank stare and he immediately said, "OK . . . got it! I now know your priorities!" He was joking and I knew the answer to his question -- but it has been a running joke with us ever since.[/quote']

My husband ask my dr in the hospital. My dr said I'll close the door and he did. We didn't. Lol

Hey everyone' date=' im kinda new here and hoping to create some lasting friendships. Having this surgery isnt easy and there are going to be bumps in the road having someone who knows exactly what im going through is important to me. Any one else out there looking for a sleeve buddy?

I ll be ur buddy I was

Sleeved may 15. I live in ct what about u.kim

I'm 4 weeks out and def have dumping. I actually hoped for it. I didn't recognize it right away. It happened a couple of times but I learnt my lesson. My hubby even said stop touching the same hot stove!!! It's a process.

Dumping is only with a. Sleeve

I've cheated on the full liquid diet' date=' but only with very soft foods like mushy veggies in my Soup and about a tablespoon worth of scrambled egg...even though its mushy I still chew chew chew to avoid the pain...its bad enough when I take a large pill, can imagine just jumping into having something really solid.[/quote']

You should try hard to follow yr dr plan you may feel ok but your insides are not healed

Started on soft foods today and tried chicken salad... Idk if I was eating too fast' date=' if chicken salad wasn't soft enough, or what but I have serious chest pain right between my breasts! I wanna cry and I'm getting scared, because I feel like if something was stuck, it should have gone down hours ago. I ate around 6pm! what to do? What is this?

[/quote']

I saw my dr today also two weeks out I to had the same feeling he said u have to purée or add more moister to chicken I have the same issue

I have taken Prozac for quite a while' date=' but had to stop prior to surgery. Now I'm 14 days post-op and not sure what to do. Do I restart? They're capsules. Do I get on another? I'm confused. My pcp basically left it up to me. :/[/quote']

I to am on antidepressant. You have to get yr meds crushable. Or ask yr dr mine had me get mine able to crush.

I am 2 weeks out and I am still not getting my Protein in. I do a 30 gram shake in the morning but that's all I can handle... I am soooooooo tired of shakes. I know once I can do mushies I'll get more in so I am not sweatin it right now.

Water tastes weird to me too for several days post op... But now it's fine. Hang in there! :-)

I'm waiting to go in at 1 to see my dr 2 week out I tried mushy yesterday. Feeling the same as you can't wait to eat mushy. I too don't get enough Protein and it hurts to even get mushy the. Nexium isn't working will find out more in a min. I have been turned off on this site. People scare ya about lossing hair and stuff.

Hi everyone I am only 5 days post my surgery. I have been dealing with a lot of discomfort but besides that I need HELP on finding a decent tasting Vitamin. My dr. Recommend bariatric fuel but it makes me gag. Please any suggestions and the best of luck to you all.

Children flint stone complete. I'm 2 weeks out and I haven't started taking my vitiams and Calcium . So afraid I'll throw up sf pudding already made. Not 20 min later BM city. Lil FYI
