I was sleeved 5/28 and am really struggling. I had my Lapband taken out at the time of procedure. I am working on Fluid intake and walking as much as I can but I have constant nausea. I'm on clear fluids until Tuesday and I'm hoping after then I will be able to get stronger every day. Right now the pain is mostly gone but I am in severe nausea and that is almost worse. Is Dramimine ok to take? Repeated calls to my physician went unanswered and unreturned.

I was sleeved 5/28 and start soft foods on tuesday. Did they prescribe you any anti nausea meds? I came home with some that would need to be crushed but haven't felt like taking them.

I'm just now able to take in more fluids I'm shooting for my 11oz Protein drink and about 40oz of Water.

My sleeve was on 5/23 and I have moved on to soft food already. It's going well, but I have had some bumps in the road. The chewable Vitamins were making me sick, moved on to liquids. I couldn't tolerate the Bariatric Advantage shakes either, switched to Pure Protein and those are better for me.

Talk to your Doc or the nutritionist at their office, they can give you some options. If they don't return calls, keep calling or just show up at their office - they should be providing follow up care for you!

I was sleeved 5/28 but no issues with nausea. Dramamine is probably NOT okay to take but there is a drug people here have taken for it. I recommend starting another thread with a title of "Please help with nausea"or something like that and I think that will get you more attention than this thread.

Your doctor took responsibility for aftercare by doing this surgery, don't hesitate to keep nagging them until they respond.

I was sleeved on 5/28 and I am getting all my fluids 3 Protein Shakes and my Water. I am however very sore, tired and weak feeling. My band had to be bigger ( I can hold 3 oz instead of 2) due to scar tissue from my band remove 2 years ago. Nausea? My dr gave me zig ran tablets that melt in your tongue.

      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.
