I everyone.. I'm almost 3 weeks out. Caught a throat infection on Wednesday and have been so tired lately. Then my daughter got sick and has been in the hospital for 3 days now.. I haven't eaten much in the last 3 days, it's hard to even get Water in. I feel nauseous at the sight of food or even anything besides Water.

I'm depressed :( I need a swift kick in the rear. I called my doctor and he keeps insisting that I must eat.. But I can't stand the sight of food.

Just wanted to rant to people who will understand.

When you fund yourself unable to eat I was told to revert to 4 Protein shakes a day to keep your strength up. You dint want to lose muscle mass instead of fat because that's what will happen if your body doesn't have nutrients. Do WHATEVER you have to do to get em down.

Btw sorry your feeling so poorly. Hope the baby gets better soon.

I know you're feeling tired and rundown but exercise is a natural antidepressant. You release some type of endorphins (pheromones I think) that make you feel better.

RNY Guru is sooooo right.... even though you can't eat food you MUST get your Water and Protein, my dr. always says "sip-sip-sip all day long" its is sooooo important to get your Water and Protein DAILY. It will make you feel better and have energy. Also the exercise helps it produces endorphins (sp) which is a naural high :)

I hear you... when I had spells of not felling well the last thing you want to have is water or food but I forced myself !!!

      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.
