I was sleeved on the 5th but today was the first time I had "issues" with my stomach feeling queasy... I ate the normal stuff that I had been Greek yogurt, string cheese, oatmeal, chicken Soup. Not sure what's happening, I'll try again tomorrow. I need to get with aNUT. Havent had the opportunity to work with one. I sttended 1 meeting a week before my surgery and I was given some papers to follow and I followed them to a T but not quite sure what to expect or do from here on out. My nut wasn't very approachable, so I was put off and did all my research on line and thru this site. I think I need to buck up and try to reapproach her. But I am down 40'lbs as of today. Not quite sure if this is the norm, but I am happy with it! It's been years since I was below 400. Day of surgery I weighed 421.9 and today 378.8

I wouldn't be too worried about just one day of queasiness. Watch for a pattern. Anyone can have an upset tummy for a day or two. We can still catch stomach bugs.

I think you'll also find that some days you have more restriction than others, and foods will be fine one day but not so much another day. I know for me, if I'm eating or drinking too quickly that can make me queasy, especially on a "tight sleeve" day, so you might try being extra conscious of eating SLOWLY, drinking SLOWLY, and switching to easier-to-digest items. I had a hard time with string cheese very early out for some reason.

Thanks... I'll have to keep eating slow in mind... I was "monitoring" myself and noticed I eat fast. Looking for menu plans not much of a cook, ate out daily so need to be educated. Know where I can get menu plans...

      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.
