First off. I am sorry that you are not feeling well. Throughout my entire process, my providers stated, "each person is different." I feel they said it a million times. But then they give you these instructions and we try to follow them as if they were written specifically for us. Hence, "each person is different." While you may receive many suggestions on how to resolve, you need to go back to your provider for help. I know of others who required surgical intervention to unlodge food or inpatient observation until the food was able to digest on it's own.
I hope you are able to get your situation resolved very soon.

Here's something from another post. But I heard this only works for Proteins. I may actually get some of this to keep on hand, just in case.

Today’s breakfast: banana cinnamon chia pudding with fruit, hemp seeds, cacao nibs, almonds, and a sprinkle of granola. Shared this with my boyfriend.

I had my 6 month surgery mark on Sunday, and my tele-doc visit with the PA and the Nutritionist yesterday. Everything is on track, which is good to hear; my blood work is all good as far as Vitamins, macronutrients, Protein, etc. Because I use Myfitnesspal to track food, the nutritionist was able to review my diet with quite a bit of detail, and thinks my carbs are a bit low; sometimes my carbs are as low as 20-25 (but sometimes they are 85!); she suggested I monitor to see if I am tired on the days my carbs are below 40, and adjust.
I can't believe it has only been 6 months...February seems a lifetime ago, given all the ways our world has changed since then.
Thought I'd share a before and after (during? Because I hope I'm not "done"): Before is from a wedding in 2019; After is from a hike/walk on Sunday.

This is in my book, this is for the full liquids phase as soon as you leave the hospital (for my doctor) hopefully this helps you. I had surgery the 20th and just starting full liquids.

I've lost 45kg total since my sleeve in October 2019 and I feel amazing! Still have days when I feel big, but then I take pictures like this and think holy cow! I've been doing bodypump classes and I'm even seeing some baby muscles in my arms and legs, and it's really helped with my loose skin.
Now to work on maintaining, which has always been the hard part of weight loss for me.
 

800 calories can actually be alot of food if you choose the right ones.
4oz of grilled chicken sprayed with avocado oil & seasonings is a measly 110 calories, and will likely be more than you can even take in in the early months.
3 cups of a mixed green salad with cucumber and carrots and a sugar free vinaigrette is less than 50 calories
1 cup of Pasta carbonara (made w/ two strips of bacon and 1 large egg) on shiratake noodles is 162 calories and is crazy filling.
Going low-cal and not feeling starved is def. possible, ESPECIALLY in the first few months.
Good Luck!
P.S. I did less than 800 cals a day until I reached goal (and even much much less in the first 3 months)
P.P.S. I figured it was just something I had to do get to where I wanted to be. I am almost 2 yrs post op now and have been maintaining my weight for over a year at much, much more calories.

I was nervous too but trust me it will be fine

I've always wanted :
To go horseback riding
To not worry about weight limits
To eat in public without feeling like I'm being judged
To shop in any store for clothes
To fit comfortably in a booth

I always wanted to be able to find clothes at any store in the mall.

(1) be a runner
(2) sit in an airplane seat and not worry about the seatbelt not fastening.
(3) going to the beach and playing with my grandkids
(4) going to Disney land and riding all the rides with my grandkids

I have always wanted to:
1) Go on vacation and rock a swimsuit and sundresses
2) Get things out of the bottom cabinet without calling my daughter
3) Get down on the ground and get back up again!

I've always wanted to be able to go on rides, Water slides, and go-carts without looking at the weight limit or fearing the seatbelts would not fit.
I've always wanted to shop from the boutiques without only being able to look at the little rack they have shoved in a corner with plus size clothes.
I've wanted to enjoy exercising again. I used to do CrossFit and loved it.

I've always wanted to feel attractive.
I've always wanted to be a normal weight for my height.
I've always wanted relief from chronic pain syndrome. (This has not been resolved by the weight loss )

I’ve always wanted to “fit in” and be “normal”

I’ve always wanted to wear a backless gown.

These are seriously good. Hard to believe they are only 38 calories.

Totally agree... but even when that isn't what I am looking for, it is all I seem to find!!!!!

That sucks cause some of us dont want that. Thank you Sticky

I get the impression most are lookin for hook up. Congrats on your success!!!

I waited two years after surgery.

Agreed! I want to wait until I feel more comfortable with my body, my routine, what I can eat before I try and add someone to the mix! I went out with my daughter and had half the inside of one taco... I can't imagine explaining that to someone on a first date!!

I am finding this to be challenging, I feel ready so I am going to start. My post is null and void lol

Yeah definitely going to take all the time I need to sort myself out

Me too! I'm planning on waiting 6 months. I just want to be really comfortable with what and how much I can eat/drink before going out with someone new. I would be mortified if I all of a sudden needed a bathroom on date!

Anyone else hold off dating until after surgery? I have decided to wait 6 mos. post to start again. I just feel like I need to focus on my weight loss. It is hard because for some reason I keep getting asked out. Where were they before I decided to do this! J/K I am grateful.
