I had a major cold before surgery, and every time I had to blow my nose or anything like that I felt like I was going to be sick. Well it has been ongoing ever since that cold I had, except it's worse now. I blow my nose, sneeze, cough, talk too much, and I feel like I am going to be sick. Is this because of acid reflux? I am worried because I can't even take my prilosec pill that was prescribed to me by the surgeon, I try to swallow it and it comes right back up. I can't get a hold of the surgeon today, so I have to wait until tomorrow, but I have felt nauseous all day today at work. It was my first day back and I got sent home early because I was basically worthless. I can't keep doing this. I had surgery two weeks ago tomorrow (May 1st). Anyone else had this problem?

you can look up your medication online and see if the med can be crushed...or call the pharmacy and ask them. if you can crush...then add a little to some applesause and try it that way to get rid of the acid. I have had some problems with my gag reflex still....but not so bad that I am upset about it. ususally mine happens when I have eaten to much, or if I havent eaten in to long. hope you feel 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.
