If you are chewing good and eating slow and it's still happening...I would call the doctor....just to be sure! Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah but any taste of food induces vomiting.

Oh Tank that sucks :( Have you spoken to your doctor about this? Are you eating in small amounts, chewing like crazy etc. etc.? What foods are you trying to eat? I only have problems with some foods but basically if I chew, chew, chew really well then I'm good. I am 4 months post op and trying new foods a few times a week.

If you're not tolerating Clear Liquids either that doesn't sound good. What about differences in temperature...warm vs cold fluids? Definitely call your bariatric center/nutritionist. They may have some tricks of the trade to help you. I know for me some things just aren't going to go down. I have to psych myself up to get a Protein Shake down. I can't tolerate scrambled eggs even after chewing well because I got sick on them a few days back. Just the smell of them turns me off. But you should be able to eat pureed foods by now.

So you are pretty new to this at 3.5 wks post op. Have you tried Soups, etc? They always do the trick for me. Its like putting something warm and fuzzy in my stomach. When I would try something that did not like me, I would go back to liquid for a day and re-adjust. Soup always helped. But you are saying you cannot even tolerate clear liquids - yikes. I think you better call your doctor !! Are you getting your vitimans and Protein in?

Not getting the Protein at all but I am staying hydrated. It's basically any food type liquids won't stay down. It might all be in my head though.

Like someone else said... Sounds like it could be a stricture. I would call my doctor especially if you were able to tolerate food and have now regressed to just fluids.

Hope you feel better!!

Tank, call your Dr first off. Second same was happening to me but only after I had tries chicken and failed horribly; 4 days nothing stayed down. I managed a few yogurts partially but would still her sick. Having had the issues in the past I know I irritated my pouch. I have been using my carafate and today cheese worked. That's as solid as I'm going for now. I know when my pouch gets irritated I have ro give it time to be less angry. If you won't call the Dr. Please yet going back on liquids for a bit and Protein Shakes watered down at the least

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
