Unable to Eat please help!

I had the RNY on the 29th of Sept 08.  To this day I can not keep half of my food down. I take a coupe of spoonfuls and then throw up half ever single meal. I can't keep liquids down.

I am having a really hard time even meeting 32oz of fluidds in a day. I have tried the sipping and it doesn't work. I have found a shake that I like but I can't seem to keep the full meal or the liquids down.

Can someone please help? Stressed outta my mind! I hate that I am starting to regret the surgery when I know I need it.

Thank you!!!

I have a friend that had the same situation.  She contacted her doctor who prescribed a patch, for nausea, worn behind the ear.  That helped alot.  I also took her Isopure and that helped too.  The Isopure is high in protein, very low in sugar grams and it has the consistancy of water.  She is doing alot better now.

Contact the doctor and the nutritionist, please.

Hang in there, it get's better!

My friend who had the rny a week after me is going through this but her doctor found out that she had a stricture her stomach was narrowing not letting food pass .. she had to get it open back up and now she is fine and is holding down food and liquids ... they also gave her anti nausea med ... go and talk to the doctor ... just incase that could be something you might be concern about and if not tey can at least give you something for the nausea

Thank you so much for replying!!!

Am calling the doctor in the AM. Will keep you posted on the results.

did you find out why it was hard for you to keep your food down? let me know ... yvonne

I found out from the Dr. that some people can only hold 1oz of food and unfortunately I am one of them. To keep taking my vitamins and shakes.

I have been on a liquid diet for a little over a week.

I see him next week, 11/05/08. So I should be getting better answers then.

The only reason I can not see him sooner, is that I started a new job so I am trying to deal with it all on a day to day.  It's very difficult but I am hanging in there!

well let me know when you do get your answer .......I'm just glad it was not serious... and congratulation on the new job .... talk to you later yvonne

Saw the doctor yesterday and I am going to an endoscopy to see what is going on in there.

I might have excess scar tissue which is what might be causing the issues.

As soon as the results come in I will post.
