I had bypass along with removal of scar tissue July 16th. I am six weeks in and am still having difficulty eating and drinking. 3 weeks in I had to have an EGD to balloon the intestine at the stoma so that I could get something down. Having extreme difficulty drinking water so doctor told me to drink diet tea. Still have to take very small sips so I will not vomit. and its about 3 mins between each sip. Sucks so much I loose the desire to eat and drink. Body is in starvation mode. Initially lost 20lbs, still not loosing. Doc had me on broth first month and now on soups not creamy or with any carbs. I can only eat hot and sour soup and Wendy's chili. This is only when my body let's me, sometimes I can't eat or drink anything including smoothies or protein drink. What is the problem and how do I resolve it.? Oh REFLUX was terrible and I was on protonix 2x
A day with no help now on nexium.
