Problems Holding Food Down

Had my sleeve done on December 8, 2013. At this point I can barely take 2 or 3 bites of anything without it coming back up. Was just wondering if anyone else was having the same problem??

Do you mean November 8, 2013? I had mine on the 22 November and everything stays down. Small sips and no liquids while eating my yogurt and puree soups.

Are you making sure to take very small bites, chew them up really well and not drink anything when eating?

Sorry I did mean November 8th. I guess I still get confused on what all I should be eating. I do have a problem drinking when I eat. That I do need to work on! If you make a protein shake how much of it can you drink? I feel so overwhelmed!!

Have you talked to to Nut you saw before surgery? Since every Doctor is different. I would call them and ask ask ask. But small sips of things until you comfortable with that then move forward to the next stage. From the support groups I have been going to everyone is different. I hope that helps.

I had my surgery November 7 and I know what you mean. I can't really drink more than 4-5 ounces (I measure) in about 20 min. When I try to do the protien shakes the thickness makes it even less. I am now supposed to be on softs since Saturday and tried a scrambled egg and ate maybe half. Seems like I should be having more volume but I guess my sleeve may not be ready. I have not vomited yet but have had moments where I thought it was coming up.

As I have read alot on the forums, I am curious as if it is related to the healing of the sleeve itself (swelling etc) and the size of the sleeve itself (based on the bougie used). Any thoughts???

The bariatric nurse called me this evening to see how I am doing. I did tell her that today after I would drink water , ver slowly..one -the oz per hour I would regurgitate most of evetyhing.. She told me that my enters r swollen and this dill sh side. Another thing she told me was to walk a lot. I ate a little bit of sugerfreepiddinm walked sround the house for about 5 minutes and my pudding digested. So I think the first couple of days we are healing big time. And this may happen.. But walking does help with the gas and throwing up the liquids. If it persists, then contact your dr .
