Help please... Can't get liquid down ! 1 week post op

[bhopeful 33]

Hi

I am about 9 days postop. I have not had any trouble drinking as long as I drink slowly.

However, this morning I took my liquid supplements (liquid Multivitamins, cod liver oil, Vitamin D etc.). I then had a couple of sips of milk. And it seems that the milk got "stuck" and I know I only had very little, not a lot, drank slow, and ever since then I have thrown up some slimy stuff couple of times and I just cannot get any liquid down. And I really feel like something is stuck in my stomach... ???

Have any of you experienced this?

I wonder if some of the Vitamins may have reacted with each other or the milk. I've had similar experiences and spacing things out seemed to prevent it from happening.

Yes. Most people experience this and it is part of "learning" how to "work" your sleeve. As @@axlr8n mentioned, it might be that combing your supplements with milk is a no-no. Or, perhaps you might want to try taking your supplements separately, at different times of the day. The "stuck" feeling is usually associated with over eating (or drinking in the beginning stages). The combined liquid amount of Vitamins plus milk, was perhaps too much for your tiny stomach.

Hope you are feeling better. It will pass, and soon you will be an expert at what to eat, when to eat, how to eat, etc.
