You may be getting dehydrated. Try to keep sipping. If you dont feel better in a few hours, go get an IV. My surgeons office has a special place you go to just to get an iv for a few hours. They recommend it when its needed. I would try to keep sipping and see if that helps first.

My dietician said that nausea is one of the first signs she sees in her sleeve patients. Forensikchic is right: really focus on your fluids but don't hesitate to get an IV if you're not feeling better in a few hours. Dehydration can escalate very quickly.

Seriously, this isn't something to mess around with.

I was in the hospital this week for 2 nights for dehydration. Google symptoms of dehydration. My major symptoms were headache, tired/weak, and nausea. In 3 days I hadn't had 3 cups of liquid because I couldn't swallow caused by swelling from severe acid relfux.

How much liquid have you been able to take in? Don't let it get worse or go untreated you don't want your recovery and health to suffer.

      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.
