Sleeved 2 days ago - Hospital Experiences

Nausea after surgery can be from your pain meds. Morphine make me sick. I told them before and they gave me dilauded (sp) in stead. It amazes me why some docs can't figure this out. Alot of people don't tolerate Morphine.

The headaches definately can be caused by artificial sweeteners. I did not use sugar-free "anything" and I did not have headaches.

For a Protein Drink that not the consistancy of paint, use Carnation Instant (not SF), two Tbls. Non-Fat Dry Milk powder, 8 oz milk and two ice cubes. Throw it in the Magic bullet, whip it up and it's really good. It's not syrupy sweet either.

I ate popsickles (which went down GREAT) to get more fluids in at the beginning.

Good luck to you!

Thank you so much for all the help. I guess I need to look harder for the unflavored Protein liquid. I'll look online. Thanks. Vitamin Shoppe here doesn't sell anything that is unflavored - in fact they looked at me like I was a nut for even asking - I guess the assumption is that you want something you can mix with Water so it has to have a sweet flavor. My headaches are so much better. I think getting my liquids back up is the main thing. I am actually up to 64 oz now which I wasn't for the first 5 days after surgery. I feel considerably "less full" now. Thanks to everyone for the help.

I found "flavored" Protein Shots (26 grams) at both Walmart and costco. Since I love grape flavor the most, I just poured it into one of my Grape Zero Powerades/G2's or allowable juices, etc (pre-surgery) and that really helped me tolerate the taste much better.

Spudds :)

      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?

      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.
