Ugh! My daily food intake consists of pretty much Gatorade, Popsicles and a few crackers. Once I take a few bites of anything of substance like soup, eggs, tuna fish (and I chew very well) I usually end up throwing up which mostly consists of bile. I know this is gross but has anyone else had any experiences like this? I see my doctor tomorrow but wanted to put this out there. I'm really glad this forum is here. Thanks all!

Oh,no - I'm so sorry you're having a hard time with food!! Please check back in with us after your appointment with your doctor to let us know what's going on in that tummy.

I think this is something that would better be answered by your doctor.. The advise mine gave on the diet is to always revert back to the liquids if you where having issues and try again in another week or so.

Thanks I usually always revert back to my liquids when this happens. The only plus side is I've lost 23 pounds in 3 weeks.

That happened with me, I couldn't advance as others did, I could be that with you. I'd go back to what keeps you from throwing up for a while. If it continues then it could be a structure, I was throwing up at 6 weeks still. Listen to your body and talk to your doctor, they'll keep an eye on it. Good luck!!

Just got back from my follow up appointment and my doctor concurred with the dietician that I should stay on full liquid for an extra week before I advance. He said its normal as my stomach is adjusting to what I can and cannot tolerate. Good news is I'm down 23lbs! Thanks all for your input and experience, I appreciate it'

I'm in the same boat, but I'm almost 7 weeks out. I thought my issues were due a lot to reflux, but last week my surgeon changed my PPI and it has gotten slightly better. I try to get in fluids as much as possible, but I just feel I'm depleting my body!

Same here Jenny! I feel like I'm depleting my body and the only thing that is keeping me mentally on track if you will, is the weight that I'm losing. I was finally able to finish an entire chononi yogurt this evening which made me feel better since its 14g of protein.
