I was sleeved on July 15th. I have not been able to eat anything except for jello, pudding,yogurt, and broths. If I eat something like chili, chicken salad, eggs, egg salad or anything in the soft stage it comes back up. Even if I puree these foods it still comes back up. I am so depressed from not being able to eat anything this just sucks. I am going on a vacation with lots of family this week and I am dreading it because this years plan is to eat out for dinners to save the hassle. So now I have to sit and watch everyone eat all the things I once could and sip more BROTH. Definitely at this point wish I didn't have this sleeve done. I am down 43 Lbs since the surgery but I have been miserable the whole time. When will this get better because it seems like never an my surgeon has no answers except to focus on fluids if eating is a problem.

Savanna - I wish I could be less frustrated - I am 3 days post op - and all I have been able to hold down is crystal light - water - and broth. I've tried the carnation instant breakfast - I've tried the cream of tomato soup and cream of mushroom soup( none of which my stomach has been able to hold down) . I can't seem to digest the vitamins well . My biggest frustration is not being able to eat actually healthy foods yet (fruit, salads). I'm afraid if my body isn't handling the simple milk down how is going to hold or digest regular food . Uughhhh!

Your diet is clearly different from ours but we were not even allowed anything except Clear liquids our first week after. Then 2 more weeks of full liquids. So it may just be that it's too early for your new tummy to tolerate it. At 3 days post op I was happy to be drinking crystal light. It's too early to worry about it. My blog here details,the first 8 days and the day-to-day difference early on is astonishing.

Give yourself some time.

Ok will do . Thanks !

Hi Roundy. I'm with you. I had my surgery on 7/29 and haven't been able to keep anything other than a bit of apple juice and Gatorade down and even then sometimes I can't keep those down either. I had lots of lab work, ct with contrast and upper GI series before they did an endoscopy (EGD) and found out that my new stomach twisted causing a stricture and all of my problems. Now I'm working through the treatments for the stricture. 2 hospitalizations for dehydration, 2 scopes and balloon dilations and now an upcoming stent this Thursday. I feel for you. It's miserable!

Hello Megancd,

I am sorry you are having problems too. I hope you get better fast and things get back to a semi normal state. I can't wait to look back at all of this and say or think i guess it really was worth it. We will get through this together! Wish you luck and i hope to stay in touch with you.

Thanks Roundy! And Yes! I can't wait to look back on all of this and say it was totally worth it. I'm sure we will feel that way. Hopefully sooner rather than later and yes we should stay in touch. I'm curious as to what they are going to find out for you.
