Complication almost 3 weeks out



Recommended Posts

Hello all-

I had RNY on 7/31 and have been doing great! This past week has been miserable and I actually called the after hours number for advice. The resident told me they were contacting the doctors and I'd hear back.

Anyways, the past week after eating solids very slowly and chewing it up to applesauce consistency, I have been having the worst pain between my breasts as if it is getting caught. Although painful, I can deal with that. About half of the time I am very nauseous and then throw up clear slimy stuff and then feel better. Right before the vomiting I literally can not spit spitting.

It wasn't happening with drinking, but after the last vomit episode, i feel the pain with liquids. I am at loss of what to do. I can't wait to hear from the Bariatric team on their thoughts.

I'm surprised you are eating solids already.

So, calling the doctor is always the right thing to do.

The initial pain that you felt was somewhat normal when you eat foods that you aren't ready for yet, eat too fast, too much, don't chew enough or any combination.

And the "foamies" are part of that unfortunately.

But having the pain continue now even with liquids -- I don't know what to tell you on that. Your bariatric team will be your best bet.

After my RNY gastric bypass surgery, I was on full liquids for the first 4 weeks, pureed foods for the next four weeks and then only after week 9 was I transitioned to solid food. Your stomach needs time to heal. The transition to solids can be rough. There is no need to rush it.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
