Need some help...

Hi-I am 17 days post op and thought I was doing great, pain gone, no problems getting liquids down, liking my protien drinks, etc. All of a sudden I don't feel that well. Can't seem to tolerate plain water and am definitely not taking in enough fluids. Am eating yogurts, cottage cheese and scrambled eggs. Nothing else goes down. Any help????

Hi Judy, It could be a few things. You should probably call your doctor before they close for the long weekend... Are you vomiting? If so, it could be a stricture. If it hurts, you could be eating/drinking too much or too fast. It could be gas pockets too. I think you should definitely call the doctor though. Hope you feel better! Anne

Hey Judy, The same thing happened to me too. You might be eating too fast, or too much. Make sure you chew very slow and don't drink with your meals, I made that mistake and got sick. Take it slow honey it will get better. Just make sure, if not call the doctor if it gets worse. I am learning the hardway what I can tolerate now, its only about two months and certain things I try for the stage 5 won't stay down either. So I know how you feel. Again take it easy and call your surgeon if it gets worse. Hugs KimC

I'm not sure, but maybe the dairy products are bothering you. I know that I became lactose intolerent after surgery. Every time I have a milk product I feel ill. Hopefully that's all it is. but like Anne said, if you are in pain, you should call the doc! Hope you feel better! Christine-126

Judy Plain water was difficult for me and still is. I drink Fruit 2 O or Propel flavored water. Propel does have a few carbs in it..so be aware. Joanie
