Update : doc says I have gastritis and reflux. I was taking Prilosec but NOT opening capsules. They told me in hospital they were small enough and in fact have then to me to take whole. So basically I've been pissing my pouch off for 3 weeks, which is why I'm tolerating less...

Bathroom habits are NOT happening. I saw Dr last week and explained the Protein shakes were coming right back up (tried several brands ). He suggested I move up to pureed and eat slowly....

Spoke to nutritionist today. She said I am def not getting enough nourishment or Fluid so im going back to Dr tomorrow. Just wondered if anyone else had a similar situation. Hubby had the surgery 2 years ago and it all went so smoothly for him....

Sleeved 5/12. Am just starting soft foods. All of a sudden I am nauseas all day... actually throw up upon waking AND when I do eat something it sits like a lump in my stomach for hours. I feel like my stomach wants food but then it isn't digesting it? ?? Am I nuts?

I struggled with dairy. It tasted sour and spoiled for the first several weeks. I am finally able to drink it in moderation, I was never a big milk drinker before, but never had the problem of it having a bad/sour taste. bread still isn't something I can do, I used to love bread, and was worried how I would do, but now it doesn't sound good at all. Artificial sweeteners still can give me headaches and make me feel queasy. For the first 5 weeks post op I could only drink bottled spring Water, I threw everything else up. I was sleeved on 3/7/16, and I can drink regular Water, and dairy. Never give up on something, give it a week and try it again.

Got mine the day I came home from surgery, which was about a week early. Heavier and longer usual. I attributed it to the blood thinner shots they gave me.

Really??? I was told I could never use a straw again because I would take on too much air! I was a huge straw drinker pre-op.... guess it couldn't hurt to try?

I'm 24 days post op. I am still struggling. I don't see how anyone can get in the Protein and the fluids. And I NEED them. I have so little energy. A trip to the grocery store left me with a burning chest like I ran 5 miles and weak legs. I return to work tomorrow where I will need to stand for 10 hours and move quickly. ... I can't drink a whole 8 Oz Protein shake. And even Soups leave me feeling off.. saw doc on Friday..he said my pouch opening is "tight". I am so deflated. Constantly thristy.... super fearful about work tomorrow. Anyone PLEASE tell me what I am doing wrong and what was your intake like at this point?

According to my diet I can ha e all of those but eggs and fish seemed to sit like a golf ball then came back up I have the Isopure clear drinks but they are making me sick as well! Im.not sure if it's all in my head or what. ...but for the last several days all the Protein drinks and shakes make me nauseas....

I'm also worried that not eating enough calories will slow my weight loss :/

I am 19 days post op. Having a hard time getting in calories and Protein. I am barely making 300 calories daily. Protein shakes make me EXTREMELY nauseas, and I've tried many brands. I can tolerate yogurt, cottage cheese, broths. .and Water.. doc is on vacation but I see him on Fri.

How and what is anyone else eating at this point?

Personally at 18 days post op I am only walking. I could bike if I had one. My MD said no gym until 30 days so I have not tried. And anyway...my energy right now is much less than before. My husband had the surgery 2 years ago and he did not have as hard a time as I with calorie and Fluid intake so my story may not be the norm.

I agree about not being hungry. ..buy I also feel like I am weaker or have less energy than before... I also had hiatal hernia repair and have a very tough time getting anything that's not liquid down right now....
