Hang in there Lizzyshade. Everyone who has had the surgery says it gets better. You may want to call your Doctor later this morning and advise him of the Nausea, maybe he will prescribe you something. It's all going to be worth it!

I had diarrhea when I got home on Wednesday as well, alot of it was nerves about the change from being at hospital to transitioning back to being home. I still have loose BMs but its not as severe anymore. I would definitely call your surgeon about the nausea though, if you aren't drinking enough to replace what you are loosing with the diarrhea you are likely to become dehydrated very quickly. I apparently come out of surgery throwing up and had a few issues in the hospital as well so they sent me home with suppositories for nausea, just in case...knocking on wood...haven't needed to use one as of yet!

      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.
