Hi everyone. I'm 6 days post op and agree that I didn't expect to feel like I do. Nausea and extreme hunger all day. Nothing seems to help. Been drinking all my fluids, have tried Protien shakes and can never finish them. Nothing is appealing. Please tell me this is temporary. I'm down 10 lbs since surgery, but that doesn't make me feel any better. Also, I'm an older bandster, 58 next month. Anyone feeling the same way?

Thanks so much for your replys. I feel better just knowing I'm not alone. I think part of my problem is that I'm a little sick of creamy, sweet stuff. Can't wait to get off all this artificial nutrition and start on real food. I will call my Dr. though about nausea. Also, I'm having trouble chewing up my vitamins. Sooo gross. I do it, but is there any suggestion for a chewable that's not so medicinal tasting and smelling. I take batiatric advantage watermelon yuck!!!!

Hi everyone. Banded on August 22. My surgery went well and I feel I'm healing well, but, a lot of nausea and severe hunger today. Drinking all my water and forcing protein, but really don't feel relief. The pain meds help, but try to only take them when needed. Anyone else feeling this.
