I hope this poster is ok, she hasnt posted since this thread. At any rate I wonder if she has considered that since they cant find anything wrong with her physically that this is more of a psychological thing? I know food aversions and such are usually a result of irrational fear and not a physical intolerance of food. Just a thought...

I'm still pre-op, so I don't have much to say (because I don't know yet) about the first few weeks post op and all of that, and the posters before me seem to address that nicely.
I do just want to suggest a support group, though. It doesn't seem like you're getting much support at home. I know that everyone's relationship is different but if my significant other (we've been together 6 years and he and I live together) told me that the issues I am having from the surgery are "not his problem", I would need to reconsider our relationship.
I hope you get in touch with your surgeon soon and you start to feel better!

Hey there lady
Firstly, I don't think I can add much to the People who have posted before me.
There's loads of good supporting advice. Sadly this does not seem to be mirrored by your family.
This constant sickness is worrying. After your two day admittance to hospital did you feel better than when you went in? If you did then that is part of the answer.
I feel you are fighting this on so many fronts that knowing which way to go is a very difficult choice
Please keep us updated. We all want you to do well

I'll echo that you need to do everything you can to get more Protein and calories in, and broth with unflavored protein powder will probably be the best way to do so. Sip on it all day if you have to. I started feeling much better when my protein and calorie levels came out of the basement!
About your husband -- I don't know you or your relationship and I am a stranger on the internet, but I can't even fathom one's life partner saying that something troublesome "is not my problem." Seriously, what a douche. If my partner said something like that to me about anything (whether I brought it on myself or not), he'd be sleeping at the Hilton...
I hope the coming days find a solution and an improvement in your situation. Good luck!

I will fully admit that I had an easy recovery but I want to add.
You are never going to better until you are getting some nourishment. So you should sip on broth with unflavored Protein powder all day. You are always going to feel sick and ill until you get get over 600 calories a day. The longer you go without eating and the less you eat, the harder it is going to be to eat and the worse you are going to feel. You are just going to feel weaker each day.
Drink protein that is a Water consistency all day. Options are broth with Protein Powder, Protein2O water, Syntrax nectars.
Even someone with a stricture should be able to get down liquids that are of a watery consistency.

I had surgery on May 2nd. Highest weight 236 Current weight 168. I still can't believe this is me! For the newbies keep on going! This is the best decision I've ever made.
