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.

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 :)

Jasleeve,

Today was your appointment with the therapist wasn't it? How did it go? Was thinking about you all day and wondering how it went with the therapist.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
