6 weeks out and having trouble. Help!

[Klem1010 6]

I'm 6 weeks post-op tomorrow and until 2 weeks ago felt great. Now I'm nauseous all the time and still can't eat much. I struggle to get down more than a few bites of anything and it still has to be pureed. Anyone else experience this?

You are still healing, So take it easy, but certainly make sure you inform your surgeon and nutritionist. If you've got a stricture or some other mild complication, it might need to be looked into, always make sure to keep your surgeon in the loop on stuff like this.

Omgash I am 4 weeks post op today. Just like you Ibwas great pre ops, during and even 2 wks post. But honestly the translation to pureed/soft has not been easy for me. I struggle with finding food that sit well with my new tummy or I find myself struggling to get a couple bites in without having the urge to throw it all up again because it feels like its stuck in my throat and as it goes down it hurts like hell.

I get back to work tomorrow first time after my surgery and it makes me worry that with fast pace hectic work like mine I wont have time to get my liquids or Protein in. I honestly dont know what am I doing wrong. I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible. I even put a chewing timer on[emoji87]

Sorry you are not feeling good, you should talk to your doctor to be safe, I got my surgery 8-7-18, lost 12 weeks with the 2 week liver shrinking diet and 18 after surgery, total of 30, was 238 before surgery, surgery day 226, 208 now, of course I am happy with progress just not sure I am doing it right, you seemed to loose quite a bit more, are you doing anything special?

I've struggled to eat, so that may be the difference. I literally eat 2 tablespoons of yogurt, or applesauce and can't get anymore down without getting super nauseous. I started on Zofran today so I'm hoping that helps!
