Have you talked with your doctor? If not your really need to. Protein is absolutely essential along with the liquids. Do you have a medicine for nausea? This can turn around and will but it sounds like you need some help.

Something sounds very wrong! I would contact my doctor asap. I have a friend who has had trouble moving from soft/pureed to whole foods - same symptoms, and her doc discussed putting her on a feeding tube. I would call asap! I hope it gets better!

I agree with everyone else...if you haven't already contacted your doctor, please do that right away. There may be something wrong, and your doctor can most likely offer you some medication to help with the nausea. It's also possible you have an allergy to something in your Protein Powder. I have heard of several folks who discovered a whey allergy postop & they described similar symptoms. Good luck to you!

You could have a stricture. If that's the case it can be opened up and you won't be so miserable. I existed like that for many years with my lap band. You shouldn't have to live that way. Call your doc and I hope you feel better soon.

Call your doctor sounds like dehydration. I had the same and had to be readmitted to the hospital. Wishing you all the best.

Agreed call your doc. During the first 6 weeks you should be limiting to liquids and mushy. I remember getting the slimes if I ate something that was to hard for my sleeve or if I ate or drank too much at one time. Take small sips. It could however be something else. so please do call your doctor. I know you've heard this already.. but it gets better. Stay strong!! This too shall pass

And the coughing up brown stuff doesn't sound good either....please let us know how the doctor's appointment goes.......I had problems that first week with spasms, couldn't get a trickle down without a lot of pain.....but that quickly went away.....hope you get answers/solution to this quickly.

I honestly think this would be a good idea. You are probably already dehydrated and the fluids will help you to feel better.

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
