Thanks for all the support. So I went for a GI series and the radiologist said that it looks like the bottom of my new stomach sinches and is narrower at the bottom. So he explained maybe I've eaten a little too fast and I can't hold too much in my new stomach. He needs to send the tests to the doctor and they need to explain it to me further. im pretty upset. I don't know if this wasn't a healing issue or a surgical mistake but the radiologist made it clear that my stomach was narrower than normal. I really think I regret this. I can't eat and I stopped losing and I feel crappy and I vomit all the time? This isn't what I signed up for.

I try to get as much as I can in for liquids and protein but it's difficult with the vomiting. I get at least 40g of protein in day & 24 oz of water (I try to drink other things too.) Today was really tough because I threw up 3 times. It's most difficult if I eat and then drive & im nauseous the whole ride, trying to hold my food down. I take Prilosec & Zofran daily but I'm still vomiting often and I hate it. Also why wouldn't I lose weight if I'm throwing up so often? (Not that I want to lose weight this way). I cant eat anything solid anymore. I'm trying not to regret this but it's getting harder every day. I'd rather be over weight than this honestly. What can I do?

I had my vsg on 11/3/2017 and in my first 2 weeks, I lost 17 pounds which was great. I as some issues so I was limited to chicken broth, Premier Protein shakes, apple juice, tea and Gatorade. Then when I was supposed to move into phase 2, I started taking Prilosec and zofran but couldn't have much more besides the occasional soft boiled egg, butternut squash & grits. I had to stay on liquids because I was vomiting often and had severe heart burn from even the simplest things like Water. I'm now on week 5 and I vomit daily. The doctor isn't too concerned. I'm moving around because I work in retail so I'm on my feet during the day. But I stopped losing weight & I can't understand why because I'm barely eating. In fact, I'm consistently vomiting. Should I be tracking my calories? Is this just the standard 3 week stall everyone talks about? I'm not eating "food" yet so why wouldn't I have a deficit? I can finally tolerate water without heartburn so I'm trying to get as much as I can in. But what else could I be doing? I'm also constipated and I can't seem to get my system moving. This wasn't a problem at first but now I get tired and dizzy sometimes and that's starting to concern me. Any suggestions to get my body back to normal? No more vomiting? Bowels moving? And how can I get the weight loss going again?
