6 weeks out and having trouble. Help!



Recommended Posts

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. [emoji30] [emoji17] [emoji85] . My one length follow up isn't till Oct 15th but I am going to call to get a sooner appointment. 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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
