Does anyone have any soft food suggestions?

Also does anyone have issues keeping just Water down? And their belly button feel like it is being ripped apart? .

So far, nothing in belly BC well can't keep it in there are

Just got out the hospital today! I couldn't keep nothing down not even water. Dr said I was dehydrated but my GI Scan came back perfect. I was in the hospital 2 days on clear liquids. I was released this morning. I have had a thigh and a fruit smoothies with 10 grams of protein power. I feel 100% better. Surgery was just on 4/22!!!

I can keep water down... I drank a lot of water actually today... just this acid reflux won't go away.. um 5 hours it started. Had a gagging coughing spell ... even Protein shakes make it feel like to rich on my tummy. I'm just failing. At this post op.

If you're dehydrated' date=' your head will ache and your reflux symptoms will act up. Nix the Ensure- the sugar content is going to make your symptoms worse, I promise you!

Are you taking anything like Zantac or Prilosec? Some surgeons prescribe it after surgery, some don't. Maybe ask your surgeon. It's something people say help them.

Are you getting any Protein in? Maybe some chicken broth with unflavored protein will help soothe your tummy also. Sometimes the combination of the sodium and warmth help calm. Warm tea with unflavored Protein powder may work as well.

I know right now things like Subway sound great when head hunger is kicking in, but try to put it out of your mind. Your focus needs to be on your protein and hydration.

Stay strong and know we're pulling for you!

I don't think I'm dehydrated.

It's not easy. I do understand. I'm on my second stricture repair and it's frustrating. Zofran' date=' omeprazole and Zantac in-between everything else are my best friends. But I'd still take it over being almost 500lbs.

Right now you're frustrated and I get that, I honestly do. But please know it DOES get better.

I'm sending positive vibes your way.

Can you please tell me what the stricture repair entails? My surgeon is pretty sure I have one so I'm getting an upper endoscopy tomorrow. Did they put a stent in?

I have had acid reflux since 330 pm. Six hours later I'm about ready to cry!!!!!!!!

W t h.... :+(

Help.

I really think you should fill the reglan...

It's another med for acid, it might really help!

After.. if its still bad then call the doctor again.

Sometimes a combination of meds is what works the best. Call your surgeon when you can to get instructions on what to take, or to see if a different script is what you need.

I hope you're getting the help you need! You're not alone- your surgery team or general practitioner can help you!

Reglan to empty stomach faster.... I haven't gotten that filled bc I haven't been able to eat!

I have another script for acid reflux open and sprinkle over food but if I can't eat?

..

Another interesting factoid about Reglan is that it is given for migraines sometimes (off label)

For me they just gave me meds to sleep, they put a tube down your throat and use a balloon to stretch it. Except for a sore throat and my stomach was a little uncomfortable, it's really pretty simple. I came home slept the rest of the day and night and have been on liquid and soft foods as onewriterssoul suggested to me. My dr said normal eating was fine but I don't see how I could. I actually had a few bites of chicken and didn't throw up.

Don't worry yourself, you'll do fine.

Keep us posted

So what would be this like gurggling rumbling feeling? Before surgery hunger now um I eat either its a mistake or doesn't go away.... its annoying.

Taking your Reglan and your antacid/protonpump inhibitor that was prescribed by your doctor will GREATLY minimize this! The "gurgling" may simply be normal stomach juices and acid. As my surgeon explained to me, they removed a portion of the stomach, but not necessarily the part the produces acid so it remains an issue for some people.

{My stomach specific meds right now are omeprazole, Reglan, Zofran, and Zantac- yes, ALL of the above! They all (according to my surgeon) serve different functions, so I set my alarms and take them accordingly.}

So sorry you have to go through this. Believe me it does get better

I had the hardest time with water and shakes early on, now I can actually take a big drink of cold water!

Take care and keep us posted
