Nope you're not the only one like this. I had similar issues, I couldn't even keep water down until 3 months out. I tried all the tips and tricks to no avail. All I could drink was ginger ale and Gatorade G2. Anything with artificial sweeteners was a no no for me...too gross. Protein shake tasted disgusting except for the Ensure brand I was able to tolerate ice cold. My saving grace was God and clear soup from the Chinese restaurant. LOL ?
Aww I wish I could give you a big hug right now ? I believe we've all had buyers remorse after this surgery... it's a real thing lol I'm 8 months post op and my first 5 months were tough. I can truly say I've been through the fire. It gets better over time. Your stomach has to heal, so take it slow... experiment with foods and drinks. I found premier protein shakes to be good eventhough some surgeons don't want us to drink it (something about concentrate version). I did what worked for me and I survived ?? This is a MENTAL journey and it will get better. Good luck lady ?
I had the same experience as 2Bsmaller18...it was bad. It's the hormones that are out of wack. You know the portion of our stomach that was removed played a major part in hormone production, so it just takes time to get right again. I'm 8 months post op and they are normal and I'm on birth control again. I just took pamprin and Tylenol. Hang in there lady ?
