Help! Cant eat!
Just don't know what to do anymore! Every other thing I eat is making me sick. Last night I had hot dogs cut up into tiny pieces. I chewed them really well and was fine.I pre weighed them out to 2 oz and I barely ate 1/2 oz when I started feeling sick. Here comes the handy dandy spit cup and I spent the next 1.5 hrs spitting up the hot dogs. When my stomach finally settled down I tried a sf Popsicle and that came back up too. What the heck is goin on? I can't take this anymore. At 6 wks out this shouldn't be happening. Is my pouch shrinking bc I can't eat. I'm lucky if I get in 20g of protein a day. I'm terrified I'm getting malnutritioned
My surgery was August 4th which went very well. I progressed alright until it came to trying to eat pureed or soft foods. My surgeon sent me to a gastroendocrinologist and he went in and found that I had a suture which had closed my new stomach which he fixed. He is going back in this Friday to check it again because I still have issues with food. I have an ulcer as well so I am drinking medicine before I eat to coat my pouch and taking over the counter prilosec. I have good days and bad but the bad are getting farther apart. This has been very frustrating for me but hang in there it seems to get a little better it just takes a lot of time. Don't ru****!! I will let you know how it goes on Friday. I struggle to get enough protein and water in every day. Get you some protein shots from Walmart this has helped me when I can't hold anything in. Also I can keep down the light muscle milks BUT I sip to see if it is a good day or not because I do throw them back up too. They have 20 grams and it is a small carton. I hope this helps. Send me a friend request and we can keep in touch.
Good luck
