I'm having the same issues as well. Today has been worse than any other day. Finally broke down and went to the ER only to be told there is a 5 hr wait. I returned home. I will put in and urgent call to my dr. I def think I have a stricture.

As was said above
: 1) YOU have got to get your fluids in. Don't worry about much else right now, It does NOT take us long to become dehydrated!!!
2) You need to push your Dr into checking you out for STRICTURES this is a common for WLS PEEPS
3) Get meds for nausea!!
You are more than likely dehydrated so push your intake of fluids. It can't be stressed enough!! Good Luck!!
PLEASE CALL your team

Same here 9 weeks out. 2 bites a meal is about all I can stand. Yesterday 1 1/2 grilled chicken nugget bites from chick fillet

The reason you are so nauseous is likely you are severly dehydrated. It can make you very sick and 12oz of Water is not nearly enough.
Call your doctors office, they can give you an IV of fluids and you will feel better. Also ask for zofran which will help with the nausea.
But, in the end you must must must get liquids in your body or the vicious circle will continue.
By the way, this is the #1 problem after gastric surgeries.
Best of luck to you!

You need to have a GI test to ensure that you have no stricture, you also need good anti sickness drugs to stop you vomiting.
I was the same as soon as I hit pureed the stomach didn't want to know. I returned last night after spending 3 days in hospital for dehydration and vomiting, now that stopped I have two different anti sickness tablets and a new anti acid tablet. Hope this helps.

As I read this, you're already done!! Be patient the first couple days, they are very difficult, but you will start to heal and feel better each day. Welcome!

The after as in general you will have to work at but you will be successful you will see and appreciate this journey.
Be patient with yourself don't reward your successes with food.< /p>
Don't look at others journey this is YOUR OWN.learn to ask for your help when need to. Learn to recognize your weaknesses and find ways to adjust and overpower them.don't lose focus this is the beginning.
I am excited for you!! Brace yourself... You will be transformed!

Enjoy and savor your holiday eating. I'm six weeks in and lost my ability to taste. I'm still eating Soup and malt o meal. Even Protein shakes gross me out.
Good luck.

Hi, wanted to Thank all those back after I had my sleeve surgery on 09/19/16 & 09/23/16 my husband left me. The we'll wishes really got me through some had times cause would read them when I needed a boost. I originally thought he left due to a drug issue. I thought we would work out if he got help but didn't work out that way. I found out by doing some investing that over our last 3 1/2 years of part-time nursing school -he cheated on me while in class at night after working full time, & on clinical weekends with multiple women. I really struggled after finding this out for awhile with getting Vitamins every day, enough Water, but did Protein Drinks for Breakfast & still do for Protein amount. I got through things & doing so much better. I found out Friday also that I will be graduating nursing school. I work with claims dept for the hospital I had surgery at now. I hoping that after I pass my state exam I when take in few months I can get,a job on the baratric floor for surgery patients. I would love that even more then anything. I am writing this update so if anybody else loses their spouse after surgery -keep chin up because it will get better. Sleeve surgery on 09/19 was one of the best decision of my life. I filed for divorce & he signed papers last week, graduating nursing school from long part-time road, & am down around 50 pounds since surgery. I feel better then I have in such a long time -it is amazing how surgery can change your life for the better. I enjoy exercising, walking dogs & energy level is so much higher now. Plus hearing how well you look from others is huge boost to everyone. I hope nobody ever has to go through what I went through, but if anything hard happens in your life post surgery hang in there. Hang in there, keep chin up because trust me your life & overall health will get better & what a blessing in the changes. I do feel very, very blessed in my life again.

I drink Water first thing when I wake up. I drink a Premier in the Morning through lunch time. I add Powdered Protein to SF Pudding/Broth/Yogurt/etc. I start drinking about half an Isopure in the afternoon. I then drink another Premier from dinner to bed time. Lots of water in between drinking the Protein Drinks. If you like Jello - make a box of the sugar free. Instead of adding the cold water add a cold Isopure. Example - Grape jello + Grape Isopure.

I started going to the gym on my 8th weeks..I do body combat fitness class twice per week..n yes I m aware exercise is part of the recipe to hv a successful weight loss journey.. keep up the good work :-) Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App
