Almost 2 months post-op and now nothing goes down well at all except for liquids

I am 2 months post op GB, and for the last 3 days, no food goes down well.   Today, I vomited white foam.  I have no idea what that was. 

I need help with my nutrition because I know I am not getting my protein in unless I drink skim milk.  I'm also craving lots of cold water. 

Any help is appreciated.

I wish I had an answer for you but suggest you call your surgeon  if you haven't done so already. Feel better

Definitely call your doc if you can't keep anything down...

Are you keeping water down?

What are you eating?

At 2 months I couldn't (and still can't) eat all the things on the doctor's approved list, OR nearly as much as I'm 'allowed'.

Chicken, ground beef, pork... all gave me real problems... now at 4 months out, I can eat more, but still not everything easily every time.

I've thrown up the white 'foamies'... and the 'slimies'... and even my food if it's stuck pretty well.

We are still healing, and our pouches are still very tight in some cases.

I still drink 1-2 protein shakes a day to keep my protein levels higher.

Call your doctor. This happened to me and it just kept getting worse until they finally did a scope and found I had a structure.

It would be better to talk with your doctor regarding this. He/ she is the only one who will know what exactly is happening to you.

I agree with the others - call your surgeon.  When I had this happen, it turned out to be a stricture.  It's an easy fix and I felt better immediately.
