I am so sorry you are feeling badly. The best thing you can do is talk to your surgeon and keep trying new things. What you toleraated before surgery may be different now post op. Also talk to your nutritionist and see if they can also help.

Best wishes!

I am sorry both you and mizzliz83 are having this difficulty. I am sending out positive thoughts of healing and health.

I have not been sleeved yet but based on reading tons of posts it seems as if everyone heals differently and at different

rates. I hope things start getting better each day for you.

Ask for zofran for nausea, dissolvable and works wonders! Remember SIP not gulp, and chew to liquid. Try changing up the temp of things, sometimes that helps. If you're still throwing things up, talk to your dr about redoing the swallow test. About 2 months out they found a leak in me (tiny though! And not to scare you sorry) you'd know though, I got violently sick, dry heaving when there wasn't even anything in me.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
