sick of

My surgeon gave me the go ahead on eating regular food... No matter what it is I'm usually in the bathroom vomitting it all up..  Every other day seems like a day I can eat food some days not..  I'm still having a rough time getting all my protein in because I Usually vomit it all up too....  I just wanna be able to eat something without vomitting... i wish I never done this is the point I'm at now... Maybe I was just meant to be a fatty I don' t know.  I'm sick of wasting money on eating when it doesn't stay down for long, I am about to quit eating period and just drink....

I'm so darn tired of this all... sorry for my whine I'm just at my end of the rope today...  

 I had a similar issue after about the fourth week I was having issues keeping foods down.  Did not seem to matter what it was.  Under my surgens guidance we decided I needed to go back to protein shakes for a few more weeks to give my puoch further time to heal as he felt it was likely due to some irritation at the attachment line.  Well I am happy to report that it seemed to work, I have not had too many issues since then and was able to slowly re-introduce foods per the plan without further issues.  Though I do admit that I was sick of protein shakes at that point in the long run it paid off because being sick all the time is no way to live.  

Of course I have not asked you are you chewing well like to cthe consitency of smoth applesauce before you swallow anything?  Also is it a certain type of food, are you making sure everything is moist...

I am sure you have that all wrapped up but just some thoughts to consider.  Sorry you are having trouble. Hang in there and try shakes for a day and see how that works, if you feel better maybe you should consider shakes for another week and try again?

Hang in there it gets better.  It really does.  I was really struggling with the transition to regular foods - I am still struggling for that matter.  I thought I might have had a stricture but I can eat some days so I figured not.  I was throwing up it felt like every other meal about 3 weeks ago.  I called my surgeon and was advised to slow way down - even more - I mean how long can it take to eat 3 ounces of food? - 20 mins to a half hour I was told.  I had slowed down considerably from pre-op but I wasn't going quite slow enough. When I slowed up, it did get better - I still throw up if I even think I'm in a hurry.  I probably throw up about 3 times a week now.  Not optimal but it beats 3 times a day.  I  have a couple of foods I very rarely throw up - yogurt, beans, and vegetarian chili - Wendy's chili with meat works okay for me too - and I rely heavily on them when like you I've had it with the throwing up or "unswallowing" as a support group member calls it.

Best wishes,
