I have seen my surgeon and dietician numerous times for this issue that I keep having in the same thing I keep hearing is give it time keep pushing fluids and Protein in two more months you will not feel like you do right now. I had gastric bypass in April. At times when I have tried to introduce food I have felt horrible so they tell me to back off go back to liquid for a few days and then progressed again. Each time I introduce food to this pouch I feel sick to my stomach I feel like its stuck even though I am chewing 50-60 times before I swallow baby size bites. My question is what are all of you eating or what were all of you eating at 10 weeks out? I've discovered that I seriously cannot get a Protein Shake in whatsoever. My body literally rejecting the second I sipped them. The dietitian suggested sipping warm liquids before I eat a meal to kind of wake my pouch up. I do that but the second I eat something again my body rejects food unable to get it down but within minutes I feel nauseated and it comes up please help.

They have not checked for a structure. I was able to get down ground turkey and it sets fine. Some things that fine like mashed potatoes, hummus refried Beans. It seems as though anything with texture that I chew in shoe in shoe again just doesn't want to sit in there. It's so depressing because I get sick to my stomach with a Protein Shake and I'm trying to get the Protein in but when I vomit its like the pouch is done with everything for the day and it interferes with my Water intake. I'm finding that when I'm standing and getting incredibly busy now

I am experiencing the same thing, anytime I introduced solids they would feel as if I had heartburn until they either finally pass or throw up. Surgeon seems to think possible stricture so I'm scheduled Thursday to get endoscopy done. Be strong, tell them you want checked for stricture

I am so sorry this is happening to you!

I know this might be a frustrating question but if you take a day without regular food, are you able to get full liquids down. I mean 64 oz. of Water or broth or crystal light type drinks.

I ask this only because sometimes it helps literally to give your stomach more time to heal. Some people take longer. And of course when you do eat something and it ruins your day, getting liquids down after that is a no go. This could and probably is making your dehydration, nausea much worse. Resetting to liquids only for a few days may give your stomach a break.

You are quite a ways out already to be back on liquids but I have read about others who have had this happen. Also, I know for the first 3 months I would have to sip on room temp or warm fluids before I could even try to eat anything. I really did have to wake my pouch up slowly.

If you cannot get liquids only down for a whole day without getting sick I would go back to my doctor and push to see if there is a structure going on or something else.

I hope you feel better soon!

I'm so sorry, I don't even know what to say. I am also 10 weeks and getting a lot of different foods in. I keep introducing as well. I hope you figure it out.

I was having issues getting goods down and was throwing up a lot. My PA put me on omepramazol to heal the esophagus. Within days I have been able to tolerate 99% of things! I am only throwing up once in a while and I am about 12 weeks out. Consult with your surgeon.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
