Recommended Posts

I have wanted so bad for this to be a rewarding experience, Exciting experience etc, but ive been sadly disappointed :( I just can't get past this nausea. My surgery was June 20. I'm a slow loser , but that's ok because I'm only 4'11". Surgery day I was 191.4 and today I'm 172. I barely can keep anything down for the last week though. I'm lost and I really don't want to spiral into a depression like I did for the first month after surgery, that was AWFUL!

It is interesting that the nausea has occurred this far out from surgery. It may have absolutely nothing to do with the surgery. Hydration is so very important and vomiting makes it difficult to stay hydrated, It is time to consult your doctor.

I took anti nausea meds along with Levsin, an anti cramping medicine, for my first two months every day. One day I woke up, the nausea was gone and I stopped. I still have a prescription on hand just in case.

Ask your surgeon for a prescription. Nausea is torture.

I haven't been able to stomach ANYTHING all week, I know dehydration is a HUGE factor, but how do I drink Water when it makes me so sick?

You have hit the nail on the head. Get to your doctor and get something going to stop this cycle.

Play with the Water temps try hot tea, cold Water sometimes that makes a difference.

You really need to get to the doctor IMHO. You are also probably lacking electrolytes now due to dehydration will make you doubly nauseous. Please call the doc, and in the meantime, drink some G-2 or Pediacare to replace the electrolytes.

I'd do full sugar Gatorade. That's the only thing I could tolerate. It took me hours to down a 16oz bottle but I felt SO MUCH better when I finished it. Water is too "hard" when you are newly sleeved, especially when you are already dehydrated.

I agree with Lipstick Lady... full sugar Powerade or Gatorade. Thats all I drank right after surgery because Water and CL just made me sick. So I got uber dehydrated and constipated. Once I got a few of those in me I felt a lot better... get some Gatorade and call the doc...

      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.
