Been so sick 3 weeks post op. Can't get fluids down. Woken up vomiting bile, brown mucus and blood thus morning. Vomited yesterday too but not blood. I just want them to find out what's wrong with me. Was sleeved nov 6th. Was doing OK a week or 2 out and started getting sick 6 days ago. Went to ER this past Monday. But they have me some fluids and a cat scan and blood work and didn't find anything except some esophageal swelling. They should have done an EGD. Going to an different ER. Been on straight gatorade for 4 days and getting worse. I should have went in yesterday but didn't want to ruin thanksgiving. Appreciate the prayers. I just want to get well.

Funny, that what they keep telling me to drink and the full sugar one to help with hydration and calories as I can't tolerate the protein shakes anymore

Al, I have not been able to hold down protein shakes since my surgery on Dec 29th,

I drink mostly Power-aide it has B-3 B-6 & B12. I also drink an occasional Propel or if I drink water it has to have flavoring also, regular water just doesn't go down well. My Dr & Nut said it was more important that I stay hydrated than anything...You are still in my prayers.

yeah they told me yesterday hydration over protein. It's been almost 3.5 months since surgery, I just want this fixed and be able to eat. I can't live on liquids my whole life nor do I want to. I'm sorry you are having a rough go too

@@nprcowboy I had to go to ER 9 days post-op. Come to find out that I was dehydrated, low on potassium and had a UTI.

sorry you have had a rough go. It's easy to get dehydrated in the beginning. Try to sip all day if u can

@@nprcowboy, I hope you're feeling better.

Good news!!

Good news!!

Are the liquids staying down?

Thinking of you and keeping you in prayer that you can progress through this time and everything stays down, no more nausea.

Nausea has been bad. Taking my compazine. I did OK yesterday. Last time took about a week before started to get sick once tube removed. I'm doing liquids and soft foods so will see how it goes

I switched to powerade instead of gatorade as someone mentioned it had more vitamins and such

Powerade zero

She is doing great, about 2 1/2 PO and she is down 76lbs, no complications at all and is doing great. I'm trying to get my liquids in and some soft foods. I need to test this botox thing. So far so good but I was good for about 7 days post tube last time too. So we will see
