Hey Vicki,

I had my surgery done on monday as well at 3:30pm.

Starving huh? Since Sunday night at 6pm, I had 2 small taste of yogart. And its Wednesday. Everything that I try to eat or drink I vomite. Including pain meds. I can NOT have any meds at all. Maybe thats why I feel so damn sick.

I went into surgery at 214.5 lbs, came home at 221 lbs, woke up this morning at 211 lbs.

Also, my surgeon found a hernia. He had to stich up. Maybe that could be it as well.

Must be me having bad side effects.

Thanks for your reply.

I spent the first two-three days after surgery vomiting. After that, I'd get an isolated dry heave 3-4 times a week for the first month or so. All I can tell you is to hang in there, and it will go away.

I too had dry heaves the first couple of days -- it was terrible and hurt so much -- but it will go away -- after the first couple of weeks, you'll start to feel normal again :) Hang in there :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
