Able to eat less and less and getting concerned.

I'm 8 weeks post op tomorrow with VSG. I've lost 49 pounds?. I am finding that I still cannot consume enough fluid or protein daily and am starting to vomit almost daily. I am able to drink/eat less and less and am wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I haven't, but I have seen posts from people who have, and the most common cause seems to be a stricture. However, only your surgeon (or another bariatric surgeon/gastroenterology type surgeon) can be the one to make the diagnosis and then treat it. Regardless of whether it is a stricture or something else, if you are 8 weeks out and still having these troubles, and particularly since things seem to be getting worse rather than better, IMO you really, really need to be seeking professional medical advice.

You might use the search function here and search for "stricture" and see if the posts that people make about this particular complication match up with what you are experiencing, just to do some additional research before contacting your surgeon.

I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow - just a nervous Nellie over the weekend and didn't know where to turn. LOL Thanks so much!

When I moved to solid foods the same type of thing happened. Eating became stressful and I went back to softs and liquids for a few days and slowly, slowly, slowly reintroduced dense solid proteins.

I think I just went too fast into the solid stage and my sleeve rebelled. I never vomited, but felt queezy sometimes, but mostly just uncomfortable after eating about an ounce of protein. When I readjusted and went slowly back to solids I got up to 1 1/2 to 2 oz in about two weeks and stayed at that capacity until about 6 months out.

That's what I'm trying now and I THINK it's helping. Thank you so much for the advice!

What does your surgeon say?

I see him tomorrow! Can't wait! Thanks!

This is what happened to me at around the same timeframe. It was strictures. I had an EGD with balloon dilation and it helped but didn't last long. I have had one every month for 4 months.
