Hello,

I got my surgery done on the 22nd of December. I am 3 weeks in and i cannot even digest anything other than liquids, I tried mashed potatoes, pureed things. For some reason i cannot get it to stay down. Even with one bite or 3 it just sits in my stomach, and i feel like i want to throw up. I am supposed to start solid food on Thursday, and I'm scared to do so. Has anyone else had this problem? Oh and i also burn a lot after eating Soups or anything for that matter.

Me too - did my surgery 12/16 I have similar symptoms. This week they will be doing an upper gi test and blood work . And I've lost 43 lbs which I feel is too much. Good luck and keep us posted

I was sleeved on the 22nd as well!! I have been so sick and it has been hard for me to get Protein in. I can't drink anything with flavor, not even Protein shakes. I'm actually really dehydrated. The Dr isn't too concerned about protein right now since I am dehydrated. This has been such a hard process and I understand what you are going through!!

Drink Water every 15 mins only 4 oz you can hold down eat chicken broth or beef broth the mash potatos is too soon when they say solid then you can start on the mash potatos

thank you guys for responding. I can't even eat my vitamins its the flavor that bothers my stomach. I am trying to slowly take regular ones since the chewable aren't making me feel great. I have my next appt on the 23rd with my doctor so hopefully he can shed some light. Has anyone else been seeing the nutritionist regularly? I haven't heard from mine since i was switching from clear liquids to full liquids. Is that normal ?

I don't like the taste of Vitamins either. I did get the regular ones and split them in half and take them 1 by 1. I did that once and I threw it up. I will tell you when it came back up it tasted just like the damn chewables!! I just couldn't win on that!!

Yes, I'm having that problem. Only thing that stays down is Water. I was fine until this past week. I can't tolerate anything with flavor. I try and when I swallow my mouth gets watery and I throw it up. I'm so frustrated. I've been to the ER they started fluids because I was a little dehydrated. They sent me home on medicine. I'm still throwing up!0

^^ I can't tolerate anything with taste either. I have to have plain Water. I even tried crystal light. It's hard! I throw it all up. I just eat ice all day instead to help with the dehydration.

I will be week 4 tomorrow. I had terrible dehydration so I was off foods for 3 weeks, I just started eating on Thursday. Take your time and do no more then 2 ounces. Lentil, black bean Soup, chili with Beans all are working. Thin Greek yogurt with skim plus and no Fluid 1/2 hour before and after. Believe me I never thought I would get through. It will get better

Yes my mouth keeps getting watery and I throw up for no reason. They did the gi test nothing looked wrong. And my second weigh in 3 weeks after surgery I only lost 5 pounds which i was not happy about at all. I don't understand. I'm scared with all this trouble drinking things with flavor or food, I might have already 1 month in , have hit a plateau
