I know it's almost 1 year from your post but I have the same problem,Went to ER and they did ctscan, X-rays, blood work say all is good, I think I need more omeprazole or Zantac to help with this reflux. How did it go for you? Did Zantac helped ?

I can't digest well the yolk, I use only egg white, I cook it in some water and olive oil, make it soft.

I called the doc becouse I couldn't even sip water, he sent em to ER, after ctscan, X-rays, blood work, all is good, they think it's a very bad nausea and prescribe zofran. They give me zofran and I drink 1lt contrast liquid in 20 min without problem. Back on liquids for 24 hrs and then try soft again. I'm 4 weeks out.

I'm 4 weeks out and since yesterday right after I eat I get pain and vomit mucus, it's that dumping?

I use only egg white, because the all egg is too heavy

I'm eating yogurt. Cream of wheat, baby food chicken or turkey, cottage cheese, refried beans, lentil soup blended and split peas soup blended. Egg white from Costco I mix in a vegetable broth with 1 tbs of very small pasta. Like orzo or acini di Pepe.

When are you going to feel energy? I'm 3 weeks out and I feel tired, for some reasons I thought I would feel energize right after surgery lol

I had no drainage or feeding tube

Great! ????

I'm feeling blue but I'm 3 weeks put of my surgery! I'm getting very frustrated about food, bumping episodes, I'm not feeling happy like I thought I would, I'm loosing weight but I don't care, I look at overweight people and think : I should stay like them, they look happy and confident. I dream at night about my surgery day and me saying : stop ! I don't want to do this. Tell me this is only a phase!

Hi, what did you experience with the abscesses? What symptoms ?

Thank you. I don't drink 48oz of liquid, I maybe get to 32oz, I'm 3 weeks out and still sore when I drink, I burb like crazy right after 2 oz, I'm having some dumping with chicken or tuna, it's crazy! I'm so frustrated I don't want to eat yogurt and scrambled watery eggs.

MOM worked tonight, I took 60ml And actually give me diarrhea so I should be good for awhile. I hope this is not going to be for the rest on my life. My only 3 weeks out surgery and I'm assuming is because Yogurt and cottage cheese.

How long it take from the enema to take effect? I'm taking dulcolax liquid but it's not working. Now I'm having lower pain. I drink the gentle move tea last week and it feel very uncomfortable, sweating, pain etc I don't want to feel like that!

Did you try lactose free milk?

I talked to my doc nurse and she said I have to walk to feel better. Well I did that and it's getting better.

Almost 3 weeks out and I'm still very tired, but it's getting better.

I'm from Italy and my English is not very good. I'm in this blog to get help and share my experience so I'm sorry if I make grammar mistakes. I use this blog to vent about frustrations or struggles. Maybe help someone you feels down.

Thank you for your comments. I was getting worried if something wrong. Should I puss my body or rest? Push no puss

I'm taking all my vitamins, 60gr of protein and 60oz fluids, I still feel like I got run over by a train. I'm sore in my upper stomach and reflex soreness in my upper back. I feel drowsy, lousy, sleepy. When am I going to feel normal?

2 week out and I'm having lower back pain. Specially after eating.

Had surgery on march 16, the first 10 days I was hungry but yesterday after my doc cleared me for purée/ soft stage, I got very excited and start trying food like eggs, fage yogurt, cottage cheese etc I not hungry anymore, this morning I had to force 1/2 cup of yogurt. Somehow the " head hunger" disappear!

I eat 1 hard boiled egg with little drizzle of extra vergin olive oil it took me a long time, and I feel full. I'll call tomorrow to make an appt with the Nut. This morning I have an appt with doc and he said you are not going to see the nut for 6 month post op. But if you want we can set up an appt. He said 3 meals and 2 snacks. And water. Even the fage yogurt for lunch I could only eat 1/2 cup

Hello I'm on the purée/ soft stage, so I can have, eggs, ricotta, cottage cheese, my doc didn't really give me a good list. He said protein that can be purée or you can easily chew??? Anyways. I saw many examples here and on Pinterest etc. but what's the portion size? If I eat 1 egg? Can I add little ricotta? Or avocado? How many times should I eat? Totally confuse.

Try herbal tea, I can't drink water but warm herbal tea it's good, try ice chips, clear soup. I know it's hard, I want real food. I'm Italian and I really live around food, it's going to be a hard change.
