How long did it take for everyone to have a bowl of cereal, im one day shy of 7 days post op so I have a ways to go, but I miss cereal!

It just sucks man

I dont want to go through life worrying if im going to throw up everytime i eat

I just wish I had someone to talk to that has had vsg, i cry to my friends an they try so hard to comfort me but they just dont understand. This has been beyond difficult, i stopped going out I just lay in bed

Its getting better for me. I am 6 days post op, still having some but its subsided a good amount!

Hey there, Im new here. I was sleeved on August 23 2012! So far 16 lbs gone! Anyway, everytime I take anything in (water, protein shakes, soups) i get this horrible reflux, at least I think its reflux, its like i take a sip, my stomach bubbles up an then i feel it come back up slightly with some belch. Is this normal? Thanks in advance!

Yea thats what I meant (you can see I corrected myself). Call your doc, just to be sure, no harm in calling

After eating**

My Surgeon said to call immediately if I developed pain with swallowing! I would call right away!

I just got off of the phone with surgeons office, her partnering physician said its totally normal, espcially since i had a hernia that they found during surgery and was removed, (double swelling), that the liquid that is coming down air is trying to come up or some s#%* lol, he said think of your stomach (presently,not in the future) as a water cooler, you push the tab water swishes down air bubbles up. Hope this helps some of you! He assured me that this wouldnt last forever!! Lol i get very nervous! Thanks to all that replied!!

August 23rd

Dam OTR thats really a lot, im havin issues getting it down though!

My doctor gave me "reglan" (a reflux type thing) for 3 times a day as well as levsin for esophogeal spasms... But its painful and it took me into a slight depression, will it always be this way? I cant live like this! How long does it take to go away?? Its nerve wracking

August 23rd ! Whooop!

Im 5 days post op and i'm so lost about how much and how long as well! It takes 30 mins to finish a 11 oz protein shake that is very thin, but thinks like strained creamy soups i just use the whole can, and it takes a looonnngggg time, im having reflux with every sigle thing im taking in and its painfull. It takes me like a day to finish a can of soup. My doctor said it should take one hour.
