I Definitely Regret Surgery.... So Far!

[jasleeve 440]

i think youre responding to an old issue. my new issue is i cant keep down any fluids, cant eat food & i have a leak.

Couple things to consider, I could not tolerate ANY Vitamins for two months. They all turned my stomach and left me ill. I stopped trying to take them and that helped a lot. Now i can tolerate anything. Try fish, not fried it is easier on me than shakes. You mentioned in one post that u get 50-100 oz o Fluid. That is a huge swing!! 50 isnt enough and 100 is just inside good so the days ur at or near 50 your deficit is to great for the good days to cover. Try to get in 80 minimum everyday. The thing is from what you have discribe your surgeon cant do anything to help but an iv. You havent discribed anything that sounds like an improper proceedure. It is in your hands now to work on figuring your body out. That was really hard for me. I had never listened to my body before and was clueless in how to do that.

I would suggest that for the next week you focus on 80 oz of liquid and pick only one of two Proteins to experiment with. Keeping in mind that under eating you stomach is what you want to do. Try eating one oz of whatever Protein and then leave it alone for 10 mins and then try one more oz another 10 min and a final oz. keeps you under ur pouch size and you will have time to see how its sitting.

The burping can be cause by eating to fast as that induces air into your stomach. Also do not use a staw to drink.

It is what it is, slow methodical progras is what you will need to make from this point. Your gonna get there. Chin up, push forward.

We are all pulling for you.

excessive saliva. extremely excessive for me. its very slimey & gooey.

What are slimeys? :/

[jasleeve 440]

i cant tolerate any Soups or broths. i also cant tolerate sugar free. :/

The depression can really set you back and feeling nausea and vomitting can really make you depressed. Have you tried chicken broth? I would strain campbell's chicken noodle Soup and add some injury chicken broth flavor Protein and the warmth helped soothe my tummy down. I also ate a lot of sugar free pudding with Protein Powder and suagr free Jello. Personally I could not tolerate baby food. I got slimey's a lot my first month or two out they are gross.

meme, its so bad!

i called my gi dr & he demanded i come in. he drew blood yesterday and it shows im not dehydrated so he said hes not going to admit me. he upped my reglan to 10mg 4x per day (i was on 5mg 4x/day). he said it may not stop the vomitting but it could. i dont know what the purpose is then!

i go back to see him on friday.

i lost 8lbs since friday & today is only wednesday.

I'm worried about you! Scared you are going to be dehydrated I hate hearing you are throwing up and it seems to be EVERYTHING! If you go to the hospital is there any chance they will give you fluids or admit you? It makes me so mad for you that they just keep sending you to one another!!!! GRRRR!

I am glad you aren't dehydrated!!! Is your surgeon here int the US? I can't remember? Who placed the stent? Seems like the bariatric surgeon should be helping you in some way? No idea how, just seems like it? I know I have seen others mention suppositories for nausea on other threads and on some Facebook groups I am on? Have they tried that? (((HUGS)))

yes, i was sleeved in Bronxville, NY. i called my nurse practioner (who is my surgeons right hand) and she had told me to call the gi dr. the gi dr (dr jonathan david) placed the stent in me. my surgeon wants the stent removed at 4 weeks, not 6. so i have 2 weeks to go..

Ok well glad you talked to her - wasn't sure if she was you primary dr's nurse or surgeons! I guess the good thing is you are half way through? Hard to be positive but that is good at least
