eating issues/ please help



Recommended Posts

Ok so here is my story. I was sleeved on 4/30 and within the first 10-12 days I lost 18lbs. Been on a stall now for 3 weeks. As of this morning Im down a few ounces so maybe its breaking. That's really not my concern though. I feel like food is stuck a lot not high up but in my actual stomach. like it never digests fully. I take pencil eraser size bites and chew until its like dust. I take time between bites and it takes me 45-60 minutes to eat 3 oz. I know all is ok since just Thursday (2 days ago) they did another endoscopy on me. My surgeon thought that from a med I was on first week of having surgery for a uti from the catheter that I may have had yeast in my esophogus. Well it showed nothing. Everything looked great and like it was healing really well. So what am I doing wrong? I've had a horrible taste I never get rid of and I wake up every morning feeling dehydrated almost and I drink my 64 ounces of Water daily. The GI dr did say for me to stop on my allergy nasal spray because it is a steroid and could be the culprit because it could cause inflimation. I also have shortness of breath still, not to bad anymore, but well still some. I have had chest xrays and a swallow test all is normal. So I know I'm not in any danger, just always feel icky and miserable. Please has anyone ever had this does it go away and what did you do? I don't explain things well so I hope this is making sense. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
