Infection Causes Set Back In Diet Progress



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 2/15. I was having horrible Constipation issues along with vomiting here and there. On Friday I felt really tired. I had absolutely no energy. Everyone kept telling me that at three weeks out, this was normal. But it got really bad. I started vomiting anything I tried. Protein Shakes, Water, Jello. I started getting chills. My husband couldnt take it anymore and insisted I go to the ER.

Well... I was admitted. I have obstructed bowel, inflamation of the intestines, a bladder infection, and a urinary tract infection. Sending me home today with antibiotics and back to phase 2 diet. Darn :(

Lesson learned... listen to your body

Yes, they think it was caused by impaction. But i was taking milk of magnesia and thought it was helping. I guess I was wrong. Doc told me some people are sensitive to abdominal surgery causing the intestine to become more narrow. This makes it difficult for the bowels to move. He said it was nothing I did. Just happens for some people. Good news is that the cat scan showed my new tummy is healing nicely.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
