Crittle

Thank you everyone! I’ve been trying to stay preoccupied but I start getting anxious when I know I need to eat. I went back to work only a few days after the procedure. I thought I was feeling crappy just because it was so soon but now it’s been three weeks and not much has changed. Has anyone had a stricture? And if so, what did it feel like?

So I was sleeved on 06/07/18 and this recovery has been hell. I expected it to be difficult but I didn’t anticipate frequent nausea and vomiting. I didn’t expect it to sometimes be uncomfortable when I drink water or eat soup. I feel like I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried cold drinks, room temperature drinks, hot drinks. Sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello. Nothing is working for me. I feel like a lot of things get stuck between my throat and chest and doesn’t make it to my stomach often. I have an appointment with a Gastroenterologist next week but I’d like to know if anyone has felt this horrible during recovery and when they started to feel better. My boyfriend’s father had his surgery the day before mine and he hasn’t had any issues whatsoever. At this point, I’m regretting my decision.

So I was sleeved on 06/07/18. Pain has not been an issue at all but I’m having trouble moving to full liquids. They make me feel ill. Drinking water is sometimes painful. I don’t have the ability to burp, I never have, but I feel like I would feel tons better if I could. I’m feeling a touch of regret. When do things start feeling normal again? I just want to drink water without feeling like I might die.
