This is a repeat and I need help

[JackieVT]

Hi Everyone,
I found out over a year ago I had a fistula (fancy word for hole) in my gastric pouch. After looking all over for someone to fix it (long story about idiot doctors), I found a doctor in Boston to do it. I had my "revision surgery" last Wednesday and they gave me what I thought was all the info I needed. I'm supposed to be on a liquid diet for 6 weeks and having trouble drinking it. It makes me full all day. I've been looking at other Post-Op diets and they are different. Tonight I looked up the hospital website and they have a different diet there. UGH!!! Anyways, can you help me with my diet, please. My doctor has not been the best with communication. He didn't even bother to check in with my husband or me after the surgery. I complained enough to everyone who would listen and his "second" showed up in my room at 9 that night.
Also, I'm looking for an actually Online Support Group/Chat Room where it's same time talking. Thank you very much.

JackieVT- Sorry to hear about your difficulties. What liquid diet were you on for your initial operation? Maybe you should rely on that. In my first week they told me that I might not get every bit of liquid down. My focus was the Premier protein drink. I'd recommend that you work with your doctor, since you have a special situation right now. Good luck!

try to get as much protein and water in that way you will be able to heal. Wish you the best of luck. I believe you can do it.
