Help!

I had the sleeve last September 2014.  I then developed a leak two weeks post op.  They tried to repair the leak but couldn't and ended up doing the rny November 2014.  I can't eat!  I am having a difficult time keeping anything down including very small sips of water.  I was just hospitalized 2 weeks ago again to have the gallbladder removed due to stones and my electrolytes were horrible.  I mix a protein powder in everything I try to eat but most of the time it doesn't stay down.  Mostly what I am able to tolerate in very small amounts (1/8 c) is chicken broth or tomato soup.  Has anyone else experienced this?  The surgeon keeps telling me it will take time.  How much time do I have before things just shut down?

How much have you lost in the 5 months? How are your labs?

I've lost about 150 lbs so far.  When I was last hospitalized 2 weeks ago, my labs were all over the place, K+, Na. Ca all low.  They corrected everything at the time thanks to my cardiologist stopping by for a hug at the same time the nurse was checking on me due to HR of 152 and BP 92/42.  I am a RN but I have been out of the hospital environment for many years.  This is a whole new world for me and I feel quite isolated.

Sounds like a stricure to me, I had similar symptoms and that is what happened with me.

Thanks.  I've had things stretched twice so far.  Maybe it is time again.

you. Have a while to go before things " just shut down" your body is metabolizing your stored fat for fuel,which is what leads to weight loss. Keep drinking all you can.

I think she posted that she's list 150 lbs in 5 months ... That seems pretty extreme...
