Question Need help



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery Nov 18th, all had been well. I got a stomach virus 4 weeks ago and it had me barfing. I can't eat many if the things I could before. No gravy, butter, noodles, just started keeping dwn milk.

I cooked checked thigh in my slow cooker with Tomato sauce, made wheat Pasta on the side, got nauseous so I stopped eating it. Seems like I can't even have salad. In short it seems like the food has to have some density on bread or meat or vegetables steamed with no oil. The only pasta I was able to keep down close when I'm next to mine meat sauce in with the spaghetti noodles and didn't cook them too long. Do you think something may have gone wrong when I kept barfing up about 7 weeks after the Surgery?

I don't know what surgery you had, but if it's the lap band, I've had it before, I just had a VSG last week.

If it's the lap band, you can risk throwing up so much that your stomach will prolapse above the band. That is what happened to me.

I'd be very careful about chewing slowly, thoroughly and taking a long sweet time to eat.

Why are you eating pasta, noodles, and bread?

I encourage you to talk to your NUT about your issues.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
