I had my surgery 10/24/12. I started at 275 and am currently down to 211.

I am still struggling with solid foods. I don't know if I'm now chewing enough or what! Does anyone else have the same problem?

Soft foods and liquids are still the easiest .. Every time I eat regular foods my stomach is very uncomfortable and I feel very nauseous.

Another issue is drinking I hate that I can't drink a lot. I am so thirsty but can't seem to get enough in.

I'm just wondering if there is something I need to improve on or if this is normal.

Thank you for any and all support!!

I struggled also. Things get better don't get frustrated.....It took me pushing through the nausea. I called the Dr and got pills for the nausea. That helped tons. I was sleeved 11/7/12, I can drink 72 oz`s of Fluid a day. However, I sip, sip,sip all day. I can not drink large drinks or I will feel nausea. If I eat food to fast and do not chew enough I feel nausea. Hope this helps. Best Wishes. Tina

talk to your doctor. You may have some restrictions going on that they need to be aware of.

      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.
