I wonder if it could be the Vitamins. Thanks for the responses. I will try vitamins maybe after breakfast.

The control reflux wasnt for you i just haven’t quite got this app controlled.

Most mornings its hard to just eat Breakfast without feeling sick first. I pop in two women’s multi gummy vitamins. After that its breakfast and I constantly have to rotate my choices. Rather it be eggs or oatmeal. I have to move it around. Im going into week 4 post op. So solids for me. Im sleeved and loving it. Still some getting use to. Like figuring out im full. Because stuffing causes pain. Also the burps to satisfy the food right after eating. Protein Drinks are a no go since surgery. Im 12/17/18 ❤️

I'm 5 days post op and I get what you are saying. I do feel like everyday gets a little better. Also, I know what you mean about the taste buds, a lot of things taste weird to me now. Somethings taste really metallic to me. I have no doubt it'll get better.

Metallic is really it. I be disgusted

Hi,

I'm on my week 2 post op. It does get better day by day. Hang in there. I feel like the 1st week can be hard but it slowly eases up. I'd speak with the doctor if there is anything you can do for nausea. I get nauseous at times too but it's mainly when I've eaten too much. It is a clue that I'm full. Also remembering to eat slow and small bites has helped me avoid those discomforts from my tummy after eating.

Good Luck! and don't give up. It will get better. I promise. Just follow the recommendations from your surgical team and be patient. It's all worth it in the end :).

Thank you will do

Thank you I hope sooner than later

Today I am one week post op. I feel more nauseous than anything. I try to relieve it with burping but its starting to disgust me. Today I stood on the scale at 266.0. makes me happy. But this has been a long road. I really really regret it. I am 18 pounds down. I need to stay away from the scale. The Protein Shakes make me feel sick to my stomach. My me maw made me some chicken broth. I also got a couple pints of low sodium chicken broth from Walmart. But it does me no justice. Its nasty. Its like my taste buds are different. Before surgery I ate Popsicle sf and Jello sf. Now it tastes disgusting to me.The homemade broth is the best part. Today my pain tolerance is a little better. sleeping is still very uncomfortable. I'm not able to cuddle which sucks. Bending forward without gaping my legs like a frog is bad. It is very uncomfortable to sit straight up. i drink Water and crystal light fine. The Proteins I'm having trouble getting in. I'm angry and I'm just ready to reclaim my life. I tried Maalox and it helped. But I see I'm still constipated. Overall it has been a nightmare from hell. I'm praying for better days.

No heating pad

Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to try the applesauce trick, it hurts to take the pills. I’m glad I’m not the only one having a lot of pain. It seems like some people recover really fast

I can get around without much problem. I think it's because they didn't have to do the hiatal hernia repair. That causes the tight feeling when getting up. Did you have that?

Yeah I’m still in recovery mode, I haven’t been cooking or cleaning or back to work. I can hardly stand up straight.

Yea me either

Yea they use a special device to lift it. I can stand up straight. It hurts to walk amd sleeping is hard. Im so tired of it. Im on gabapentin and a oxycodein Syrup. Which help a little. But i cant do broth or popsicles or Jello it all taste very weird to me. I can only do Water & crystal light

Make sure when u drink u are sitting up or stamding. And force yaself to burp

Wow they told me my liver didn’t shrink either. They didn’t mention a special device but I’m in a ton of pain. Luckily I haven’t had a issue with keeping stuff down but every time I drink Water my stomach cramps up really bad. I am shocked my liver didn’t shrink because I was so strict with my pre op diet.
