    Oops didn’t mean it to sound like I was suggesting a pregnancy, just saying maybe the popsicles would help similarly. But yes, hope Doc can help. Sounds so horrible! Wishing you felt better

    Oh no, I'm sooo so sorry! I wish there was something I could say to make it better, but hopefully this passes soon. I had horrible nausea in pregnancy and lived on lemon popsicles. Maybe give those a

  • Oh honey. I don’t think that is part of it. You may have something going on medically other than the sleeve. Please call your surgeon ASAP and explain what’s going on.

Call your surgeon IMMEDIATELY! Personally, it sounds like you have stricture issues, but it could be an ulcer or any number of things! CALL THE DOCTOR!

@Stinkerbells2ndact I think we commented at the exact same time. I wasn’t saying to you I don’t think that’s part of it lol. So sweet. I do hope @HLsleeve that you do call your dr ASAP

Giving you a hug and support, I agree with the masses. Contact your surgeon for the next step you should take professionally.

((HUGS)) I hope it gets better soon and that you do call your surgeon's office, cause this sure doesn't sound normal, and not getting your liquids or nutrition in you is dangerous.

I’m actually having a similar problem. I’m 3 weeks out and put myself back on the liquid diet because I was throwing up food and having severe cramping and diarrhea. These past couple of days I am struggling to get my liquid intake in. Planning on calling my surgeon tomorrow
