April 8

I feel like my stomach is like a boa constrictor. Like so restrictive and just squeezes anything, and doesn't digest really causing to puking! What's the cause? Has anyone else had problems similar? I'm to the point where I'm afraid to eat anything! And my cousin who had the by pass texted me said he ate a pastie today... And I look at myself wondering when? Will I be back to normal ? :+(

I got some electrolytes... some reglan and something for nausea. Today I'm feeling not so much better. I feel like waking up with a hang over, head ache, gagging, puking... every morning! My insides contract like they wanna vomit a lot. Dr recommends liquid diet. Again. I feel hopeless. Weak.

I threw up Water this morning. I have a constant gag going on. Coughing gag without even drinking or eating. Today my head hurts so bad! Id go back a month ago and never have this done. Ever.

Just throbbing. Sitting or moving

Does anyone have any soft food suggestions? Also does anyone have issues keeping just Water down? And their belly button feel like it is being ripped apart? . So far, nothing in belly BC well can't keep it in there are

That's exactly how I feel.... I use to be able to just chug water felt so good. I don't get how I even became heavy. Always ate healthy. Grew up w o a fast food joint within 45 miles. I ate salads fruits veggies. When I went to college, even was to poor for anything. I miss subway. And pizza on my days off. I cant even drink w o pain. Or feeling like a rock is in my stomach. My job, I prolly put on 2-4 miles a night doing what I do and the weight still wouldn't come off. I should of accepted it. :+( now I don't even feel like same person. At all. I feel alone Sick No energy.... And now pain and discomfort...

What can take over the counter for pain? Liquid? Pills? What? How about sleep aid? I sleep 3-4 hours then up..... :+( restless.

I'm following my book from my hospital!

chicken salad, threw up. Scrambled egg, threw up. Anything I try once that's okay I eat again next day or something I throw up. :+(

I had mashed potatoes and gravy last night from big boy. It was only thing stayed in me yesterday! Like will I ever be able to be able to enjoy food? I don't enjoy it at all. Actually scared to try anything now. Like I'm only a month post.... I just wanna take a bite out of something and enjoy it and not have to worry about it coming back up, or hurting or getting acid reflux. Like I can have soft foods like deli meat but can I put low fat cream cheese on that piece of deli ham and take a pickle w no seeds and make a ham roll up? If I chew it to a consistency of baby food anyways? But scared. Just old. Soups, mashed potatoes, puddings, yogurt... I do well one day or meal. Next day I'm so sick from eating. Example... had piece of baked potatoe and piece of fish. Perfect. was so stinkin happy it went down and stayed and no pain. And quite a bit.... next day warmed it up..... complete opposite. :+(

On soft foods now. Any suggestions what works, or don't? Dying for subway.... will u ever be able to have subway again?

Ya what's done is done. And now I'm failing BC I don't feel good. I see narrow ended tunnel, black and cold... I'll never recommend this procedure to anyone. Ever. Never let something imperfect in my life affect me to make a drastic change that wasn't even healthy. This life style isn't healthy! Can't eat or drink. Starve and die.

To be honest I wish I will wouldn't of done this. I didn't know how shitty id feel! Thought life would be great. Now I have no life. I would of let my life be and kept working and changed my bad diet habits which wasn't fast food or junk. It was once a day meal. Work. Now I regret not trying a little harder. Now I'm sick every day. Feel like death. Inside and out. :-( More depressed now then ever. Headaches, throwing up, queezy, pain.

I have to cal Thursday if I'm not better. I am dehydrated. I dislike this. Sick of it. I just give up....

I had my month check up yesterday. It was so/so. I was supposed to drive back home today which is 7 hours from where my doctors is located. I have headaches, queezy rumbling stomach, not going to the bathroom. Barely getting 29 oz of fluids in.. and I sip all day long! But it hurts. acid reflux like mad even drinking Water. I was happier before surgery. Now I'm just miserable.

How far post op are you? If you don't mind me asking

Does this cause drowsiness?
