Does anyone else wake up and feel incredibly nauseous? I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and the past few mornings I've woken up and struggle to get my shake in. It's to the point I have to take a zofran

Unfortunately this does happen to some of us.. Keep your surgeon up to date on the nausea and they can try to help you find a solution. You may also try sipping on something hot like coffee or peppermint tea(peppermint is good for nausea). I know it's hard but try to eat something dry in the mornings.. Crackers or dry crunchy Cereal to help keep stomach acid at bay. Stay away from milk.. If it doesn't affect you.. Stay away from it just in the mornings. My doc has me taking a phenegran just before bed and it seems to help a little. Keep taking the Prilosec or Prevacid routinely as excess acid can cause nausea. Some of us have figured out ways that work for our bodies but everyone is different. I'm still searching for my magical combination to help mine, but these are things my doc suggested to try.

It will get better (everyone says it will). My doc also told me when I was having major troubles w getting liquids in, to try things like Gatorade... Yes it has calories but a few extra calories is better than dehydration.

If the Protein shakes make it worse try a Protein Bar. Also make sure to chew chew chew! food that is not chewed well enough may try to come back up.

Hope this helps! Good luck to you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
