Omg I had my procedure on 4/18. Went to ER on 4/19 for terrible dehydration. I can’t keep anything down but fluids. I’ve tried protein shakes sipping slowly only to find myself vomiting in an hr. It also sucks because I still have to be a mom and a wife. But I just feel like crap! I keep telling myself...this didn’t happen over night and you asked for it but Lord knows....I had no idea it would be this bad! I burped and flatuated last night and it felt amazing...almost like an orgasm!! TMI! That’s just how amazing it felt! I didn’t tell much people I was having the procedure...but now I’m not...I don’t want it anymore... any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Try the protein shake thinned out with milk. I only tolerated it ice cold initially. Maybe just try Fairlife milk and see if that is tolerable and work up to the shakes?

What about soups? I was allowed low fat cream of chicken, mushroom etc. but I had to strain the pieces out. Maybe try that. I would only do 2 tablespoons, wait an hour, try 2 more etc. Otherwise maybe low sugar yogurt, it can be flavored but not chunks of fruit.

Omg thank you so much! I’ll go grab some!

Maybe skip the protein shakes the first week. I was on a clear liquid only and did just fine. I have not thrown up but once and I think I triggered my gag reflex brushing my teeth.

Hope it gets better soon!

I wasn’t allowed anything but clear liquids for a week. My surgery was 4/15. Sorry your having a rough time of it.

How are you feeling now?

I am so sorry to hear you’ve had a rough start. I’ve been in and out of hospitals my first month due to Pancreatitis and Gastritis. Hydration is very important. If you can’t keep any liquids down, I highly suggest staying in the hospital until your stomach start accepting liquids
