I began my liquid diet on 2/1. Had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy on 2/15. It has not been a smooth ride. I have stayed dehydrated. Everything I attempt to drink feels like it gets stuck and then backs up into my esophagus, giving me horrible heartburn. I am still on a liquid diet. Last Friday I had 2 liters of fluid through an IV. It didn't help. Today my doctor informed me that I will have a picc line inserted Monday morning so that I can receive liquids at home while I sleep at night. I think he wants to try this for at least 2 more weeks. If this doesn't work, then he will resort to a CT scan with contrast. My diet right now consists of sugar free Popsicles. Any others with his problem/

Oh my im so sorry to hear. I hope someone can shed some.light on the matter for u

My goodness. I will keep you in my prayers

I felt the same way , couldn't swallow anything. So my gastroenterologist perscribed me something for inflamation. So maybe it happened because your stomach has inflammation or you're not drinking your meds. Good luck though you're in prayers.

Thank you all for your prayers! I know I need to hang in there, but I am getting so frustrated.
