3 weeks out...still feeling sick



Recommended Posts

I need help, I am eating and drinking all the right stuff and still feel like I am going to throw up almost all day long. Any tips? I am taking some nasuea meds, but they are hard to get down too. I am throwing up froth and some times just dry heaving. Any thoughts? Will it get better? I am still on full liquids.< /p>

I felt the same way...and still do occasionally I am 4 weeks, 3 days out right now. It was like a switch was flipped Monday my 4 week day. All of a sudden I could eat and didn't feel so gross afterward. If I eat too fast or too big of bites I can feel it otherwise...EVERYONE was right...it does get a lot better!

GOOD LUCK!

Monday I will be 4 weeks out and I'm nauseated and even occasional vomiting. I'm so sick I cannot even leave the house. I'm much sicker than right after the surgery. Meds do not seem to help and that's if I can get them. I know I'm not drinking or eating enough, but I just can't!! I so sick I'm beginning to be sorry that I had surgery. I need to return to work in 2 weeks and cannot even imagine how that is going to happen. Will I ever feel better again?!!!

Helena... is it possible that you could be getting dehydrated? I know that all of those issues can be exacerbated by not getting enough fluids in you... Have you tried calling your surgeon and see what their viewpoint is? I really hope you start feeling better... Good Luck

      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.
