Hello.....
I have a few questions and concerns, if anyone can answer them or give me any suggestions or advise, would be great.
I am 19 days post off for the gastric sleeve. I've been having a hard time with getting any fluids down. I feel nausea and I am dehydrated. Last week I went to the hospital and they gave me 2 litres of IV Fluids as I was so dehydrated with Zofran which is an anti nausea med.
I'm now starting to take in pureed foods but nothing seems to agree with me. I'm feeling weak and tired and nausea all the time.
I've tried the following foods: soups (chicken broth, tomato, creamed soups). Yogurt (drinkable and now greek). Tomato juice is a good one but then I get heart burn, same with the tomato juice. Jello and puddings are ok but I'm sure that the milk is not agreeing with my stomach. I've tried all kinds of diluted juices, just can't get enough of it down. Popsicles have been ok but I can't live on them for the rest of my life.
I'm not able to take any of the protein shakes that I ordered from OCC, from Enpsira. They are just not good. I gag.
I'm really getting tired of not being able to eat or drink. Not sure what to do.
Since pre-op (5.5 weeks ago) I'm down 36 lbs. I'm happy with that, but I'm sure I've lost this muc because I'm not eating or drinking enough.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jo-Anne
