Hello all. I was sleeved 2/7/13 with a hernia repair. Everything went great and I had no complications healing, eating or drinking...until a few weeks ago. I passed 2 kidney stones within 4 days. Both times it required a trip to the ER. Since then I have absolutely no desire to eat or drink. I had been doing well and getting all my protein in with the help of one shake a day, now I can't get two sips of a shake in without discomfort and nausea. The thought of a protein shake makes me gag. I have been mixing powder in with orange juice each morning to get something in my system. I saw my doc on 4/3 and he said my body has been through a lot and it may take time to get back on track. I should mention I had no a CT scan and ultrasound while in the hospital to rule out leaks. My problem is I have no appetite, don't want to eat or drink, and when I do try, everything makes me VERY uncomfortable. Not pain..just very full, sore and miserable. My stomach always feels like a a party is going on inside it. I wonder if its gas. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Help! I can't live off sf Popsicles forever. (That's all I want to eat).

Thanks. I am really bummed because I was doing so good before the stones hit. I could eat just about anything. Now everything hurts. It's just frustrating.

It's the first thing I thought of. Maybe you can have it declared medically necessary and get it free from the government.
