Hello Everyone' date=' Surgery date: 27 Oct 13. HW: 350 SW: 345 CW: 329 Getting worried now as cannot drink Water anymore. It is such a struggle. Feel full all the time. Eating is a struggle too. I have a fear of vomiting. Any suggestions / advice? Most welcomed. Help!!!![/quote']

My surgery was 10/21 and I am having similar problems- the first week was Clear liquids and I really struggled- Water really hurts and all the flavored waters too- mostly survived on broth and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup flavor. Supposed to be on full liquids this week- so ff milk, pudding, Greek yogurt got added in, but I have relly struggled to get much down- premiere Protein drink usually does ok...feels like everything just stays right in my throat! But I have vomited several times now, and it didn't hurt much, and there's not much there to throw up. Oh yeah, I have to burp all the time too. I realize this isn't of help to you, but you are not alone ! Try the broth to get ur fluids in, warm seems better on my swallowing.

For those struggling with Protein remember hydration is most important the first couple of weeks. Your body will use your glycogen stores before using any protein. By then you should have an easier time of it. Just get as much as you can thru Protein Drinks. I find the lite muscle milk is the easiest to tolerate and room temp is easier on the new tummy. It will get better!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
