Can’t keep anything down :-(

Hey pals looking for some tips and motivation… i had Vsg April 10 and i was progressing in my food stages good until 3wks ago, i can’t keep anything foods or liquids down… i was suggested by the surgical team to take a step back into liquid and purées but nothing has been staying down. I know I’m not eating or drinking fast, back to using the medicine cups and even trying different temperatures but the end result is always vomiting… I’ve been to the er 2 times and gotten ultrasounds and ct scans but told everything is normal…. I feel so weak and dehydrated and i want to get back to normalcy

I'm wondering if that's what's going on. I'm not sure i those will show up on an ultrasound or CT scan or not. Usually they find those on an upper endoscopy. I have no idea, though - that just doesn't sound normal at all.
