Are you able to eat regular food but in small amounts?

I will try

Thank you everyone for all the advice, like yourself I believe that it is best to see my surgeon and nutrition more often than before. Hoping that things change...

As much as I looked forward to my sleeve, I am having serious bouts of regret. I had my surgery on June 01, and have lost 38lbs. Within that time I have become dehydrated, was hospitalized for 8-days for pancreatitis. I just got out but I cannot hold hardly anything down besides porridge, fruits and Popsicles. Every meat that I eat, I throw up, even pasta. I ate a little in the hospital but was given medicine to prevent nausea. I have pills for that but it seems like I am still vomiting at least once a day. I tried frozen foods, that didn't work. I bought food from restaurants and that didn't work. I'm regretting this because I am hungry every two hours but cannot seem to keep anything down. Does this subside?

I believe that for me 4-weeks off is best because when I go to the store to get groceries or if I move my car, I get really light headed and start feeling nauseous . I know that this is linked to the liquid diet because I'm usually on the go.

They did but I guess because I am still on a liquid diet that I didn't equate the two.

Thanks everyone for your advice, I appreciate it.

I am 15 days post op but within the last week, if I feel too full, to the point where my stomach hurts, I usually vomit until I feel better. I'm concerned because I've never done this before. I'm wondering if this is natural part of VSG or am I in the wrong?

I am a teacher so school closes June 26, I have been off since June 1 my surgery date. I just don't feel right. My job is stressful and I have a hard time getting enough energy since the surgery especially on a full liquid diet.

Thanks for your response

Thanks

Today is my 15th day post-op and my doctor is not ready to release me to go back to work. I don't care to go back either because we only have 7-more days before school closes, but I feel bad being out for almost a month. How long did it take you guys after surgery to return to work?

Thanks for responding and for the suggestions. I will take in more liquids and proteins.

I had my surgery on June 01 and had my post-op on June 09. I lost 25lbs, but am slightly dehydrated and it's so hard to get liquids down. The only thing I love are my gummi multivitamins and sugar free Popsicles. I started a full liquid diet but all I like is the milk and oatmeal and tea because it breaks the gas. The adjustment is definitely a challenge. I feel weak if I do too much and I attribute that to not eating. Is this a normal phase/feeling? Will it go away?

Thanks
