    Did you tell your Dr? It sounds like you need protein. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using BariatricPal mobile app

    It is very hard for sure. Can you suck on a sugar free popcicle? When are you going to have your scope done?

Ya there getting me a Banana bag and IV fluids tonight and tomorrow they're going to go see if my stomach is narrow so if it is there going to stretch it out because I can't keep anything down not even fluid


I know exactly what you are going thru. I had Stricters and had 5Endoscopes with 4 Dialations. Which started around my 4 th week. I had probelems in Nov 2013, Dec 2013, Jan 2014 July 2114 with my last one on Jan 2015. I was exactly like you I couldn't hold even water down. I took my sleeping pill and I was up all night throwing up. That morning I threw up that pill and it had never gone down at all. I also lost from 249 to 117#'s within 6 months!! The good thing is it is a easy fix. You take a sweet little nap and wake up it will be done. My Dr told me not to make any major decisions or sign anything for the 1st 24hours. LOL I did gain back 8#'s after I could eat and drink. But I still weigh 125#'s and have maintained that weight for 3 and 1/2 years. Take care of you!! Good Luck on your journey. Keep us posted.

Hey Nana! So sorrry you are going through this... I remember in beginning the Dr talking to me about the opening to the stomach opening in beginning is the size of tip of my little finger. He stressed that small bites, chewed to consistency of apple sauce. He said I'd I tried to eat larger bites it would not go down & I would throw up.

I felt the same way for almost 3 months nothing tasted good & I never felt like eating. I was told by my surgeon that it was normal for some people. Finally going into my 4 month everything starting working & I finally started feeling normal.

Good luck tomorrow I will be thinking of you!
