If It's Not One Thing Its Another!

I am only 9 days post op and I am getting even more frustrated then every. FIrst snag in the road was my drain causing a lot of pain. Then I get an infection in the drain tract after the drain was removed. NOW I can not eat or drink anything without it feeling it is coming back up. It feels like it is sitting and I have to literally push the or liquids down by pressing on my chest where it feels stuck and even with that it all feels like its coming back up. I thought maybe I am eating/drinking too much? but its not because it started up again first thing this morning with my first sip. So I called the surgeons office thinking its just acid reflux and now they want me to go back in and plan on staying for a while so they can run tests, iv for fluids bc im not getting my liquids in and medication. I read on here about how well some people are doing and i am so jealous. I just want to feel normal again.

hang in there. I understand feeling jealous of everyone who seems to have smooth sailing. Let them get you all figured out and hopefully this rough start will all be a distant memory soon.

I understand I came home them was readmitted for pnemonia and then the blood clot. Held hostage for 5 more days now they found second clot and am being subjected to a second ct today because the blood thinners aren't working and they think I may have one close to my lungs. Not a good sign when they call you and say pack a bag just in case... Sigh! Prayers you feel better soon !!!!

After my surgery, my doctor prescribed Nexium to help my stomach heal faster... I luckily, did not have a drain... That Nexium works wonders...

So I'm updating you from the hospital room while hooked to my iv waiting for more drugs. I have what the surgeon called "white foamy vomit" which I'm sure is the technical term. They r giving me stuff now to try to stop it and if it doesn't they will have to admit me. If it does stop I go home tonight and if it starts again then to the ER I go this weekend. My diet has now been restricted to liquids only until further notice which is nothing different from the past couple of days since I haven't been able to eat anything anyways. This sucks.

Myst E,

Yeah I haven't eaten anything since last Wednesday. I was told to avoid all of i and just stay on liquids only. I am so sorry that you are going thru that and I hope that it is fixed soon!

Are you able to get Protein drinks down

[SoonToBeThinKAT 67]

No bc they always feel like they are getting stuck. They gave me nexium and it seems to have helped with the "white foamy vomit" but I'm almost too scared to try any puréed even if the dr released me to try to eat again. I went to the grocery store today with my hubby and literally nothing looked good. Everything made me want to puke so I can't even look at food. Ugh

[Myst E 2]

I understand...totally understand...I wake up nauseated and it just gets worse through the day

[SoonToBeThinKAT 67]

I don't think I could stand constant nausea:(. My biggest concern right now is i am not even getting enough fluids in. For instance today I've only had about 30oz and its already 10:47pm

[Myst E 2]

You are doing better than I have been...I'm lucky to get 10 to 15 ounces down...all I can say us keep trying and try the occasional Protein drink...for me I couldn't do the consistency...made me vomit

So sorry for everyone's problems . Hope you all get better and start enjoying the benefits of your sleeve/new stomach instead of suffering from it. You're in my prayers.
