I am so sorry you are feeling badly. The best thing you can do is talk to your surgeon and keep trying new things. What you toleraated before surgery may be different now post op. Also talk to your nutritionist and see if they can also help.

Best wishes!

I am sorry both you and mizzliz83 are having this difficulty. I am sending out positive thoughts of healing and health.

I have not been sleeved yet but based on reading tons of posts it seems as if everyone heals differently and at different

rates. I hope things start getting better each day for you.

Ask for zofran for nausea, dissolvable and works wonders! Remember SIP not gulp, and chew to liquid. Try changing up the temp of things, sometimes that helps. If you're still throwing things up, talk to your dr about redoing the swallow test. About 2 months out they found a leak in me (tiny though! And not to scare you sorry) you'd know though, I got violently sick, dry heaving when there wasn't even anything in me.

      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.
