    Infection

    Ty for sharing. I am currently in the hospital again with severe stomach cramps and dehydration. The doc did an endoscopy and that came out fine. He started me on foods again and I actually ate a 1/4 of a veggie burger. They think the endo cleared way for something that was in the way. Can't figure out the cramping tho buttering able to eat OMG how great

    Infection

    The smell of foods gets to me also. I can't even do puréed yet. Warm broths are all I can handle. I'm more thirsty than anything but drinking anything upsets my tummy. Calling doc tomorrow to discuss what we can do. I can't live like this is all I know. Surgery was 2-26-14, I'm down 33 lbs but got to be able to get protein or something in

    Infection

    I can relate. I haven't had any infections but I'm 5 weeks post op and still on liquids. I have been in the hospital 3 times. Found out I have a hernia which he popped back into place, then was so dehydrated, then was throwing up for 5 hours with severe stomach pains. Had to be rushed in to fix the hernia. Incisions are so painful it hurts to move. I can't eat anything cause it feels like it gets stuck in my throat. Trying to get all my protein and liquids in but when your sick to your stomach 24/7 it's hard. I cry everyday and ask myself WHY??? Everyone says it will get better, and I pray it does but just going through this is enough to make you want to give up. Support groups don't help cause no one else experiences this so I feel alone!! So I hope it ends up well for you and you start feeling better. If you need to vent, or just chat feel free to message me. It sucks to go through this when no one understands

    one week post op depression

    What about soups? I was allowed cream soups drained on my liquid diet. I'm supposed to be in my puréed stage and can't stomach anything so it's still liquids for me. It is frustrating but all the different soups help

    Hernia?

    MY surgery was 2-26-14. I felt like everything was going great till I started puréed food. I got bad stomach pains and called the doc. He said I must not be ready for puréed and to go back to liquids. The pain finally went away after two hours. Thursday I got severe pains and was throwing up. It was in the evening so I got an on call doctor who said give it an hour and see how you feel, that was about 6 pm. At 2am I went to the hospital in my town cause I couldn't stop throwing up, and my stomach was empty so that made it worse. After a cats an they found out I had a hernia and rushed me by ambulance to the next big town to have emergency surgery. My doctor came in and popped the hernia back in. He said he hated to do surgery so soon cause I'm still swollen. Today I noticed my belly is swollen and hard again, no pain but whose to say it won't hit at anytime. Has anyone else gotten a hernia after surgery? I had the RNY. I'm just so scared to go through another surgery and also not being able to eat anything but liquids.

    March surgery

    My surgery was three weeks ago, started puréed food and it seemed fine at first then I started cramping really bad and throwing up. Doc said back to liquids for a while cause I'm still pretty swollen and probably can't handle the puréed yet. He said warm liquids would help, which they do but it gets frustrating just doing liquids when you want more. I keep telling myself it's all for the better but still a downer

    Surgery Tomorrow!

    Being nervous is natural but it will be fine. You really don't have to take anything except clothes to come home in. They will have you up and walking. My surgery was 2 weeks ago and I was terrified but all was good. The first night was tough for me but I had such wonderful nurses that helped me through it. The next day they walked the halls with me and started me on ice chips. Just keep in mind "this is for a better and healthier you" that's what gets me through it

    HELP- Is this normal?

    I'm having pain at the incision right above my belly button and just to the right of it. My surgery was 2-26-14. I'm exercising and all but sometimes the pain stops me from wanting to move. I'm hoping it's just because they are still healing??

    Favorite Foods Post Op

    Tomorrow will be one week since my surgery!! I am looking forward to starting the "full liquid diet" with milk. They say if I can tolerate that then I can add pudding and yogurt in limited quantities. I'm still in quite a bit of pain, but still have a drain that comes out Friday. I have noticed when ppl eat around me certain smells make me sick. My son had Arby's fries the other day and the smell of them nauseated me (I used to love them) and someone ate a chocolate donut and the smell from that even got me. I to am nervous when I do start to eat how it will be. Next Wednesday I start with the puréed food, kinda nervous. Not even sure what would taste good puréed.

    Home from the hospital.

    My surgery was Wednesday, came home last night with the pump also. Stomach still a bit sore and pump is a pain but I think I'm doing well. I'm walking quite a bit and getting fluids in. Only problem is finding a good protein drink. Just tried the isopure Alpine punch and not a big fan of it. Any suggestions?

So glad to be able to chat with ppl here that understand all our fears and emotions. Great ppl!!
