Hi all,

I got surgery on 8/9/21 and for the last couple of weeks everything has left super heavy on my stomach. I have been vomiting a lot and can’t seem to keep anything down fully. It feels like the food is getting stuck in my throat almost. I should be on the soft food diet, but can’t really seem to even get through puréed.

Did anyone else struggle like this at first? I’m having trouble getting enough nutrients and Water and these dang Vitamin chews are disgusting! Please help lol. Thank you!!

which surgery did you have?

if you had RNY, it could be a stricture. If sleeve, I'm not sure. In any event, call your clinic first thing Monday morning and let them know what's going on. They may need to do some investigating.

I had the sleeve. I’m wondering if it may be acid reflux that isn’t being controlled well enough…anyway I did make some appts and I’m just hoping it isn’t something serious.

Very good idea to go in for a consult with your doctor. Best Wishes!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
