Recommended Posts

I know this question is asked 100 times I just dont feel like looking right now. Just curious what are the symptoms of a leak...I threw up after eating some tuna and now I feel dizzy. Is that just from throwing up?

Janice-

Do you have a fever or having any pain?

That can be from the throwing up. If you get pain in an area that u have not had it before and start running a fever, you may have a leak. Go to the ER. I am a nurse so please follow this. Also if you get tender and re in a spot on your stomach please go to ER. If you feel "not right" please do not put it off. Better to see doctor and it be small then ignoring problem and it becoming big.

Hopefully you weren't eating and drinking at the same time. The racing heart thing can be from putting too much in your stomach. I made that mistake a couple times this week.

No I wasn't. ..I always wait 1/2 hour before I drink.

Feeling dizzy is normal even without throwing up at this point. Just drink Water, it will pass.

Was this your first time adding fish? You may not be able to handle it. I almost threw up biting into a shrimp :( I can't seem to tolerate seafood as well anymore.

      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.
