So I havent even had the surgery yet, no date yet either, but with the meds I already take, and then the surgeon putting me on that high dose multi Vitamin, (chewable) and then putting me on 5000 MGs of Vitamin D since I was low of that, and I am already taking precautionary measure for Hair loss by taking 5000 mg Biotin. i just feel queasy all the time. i know i have cut back on my calorie intake but not alot. I hate that at any minute i may hurl, but i havent yet.

any ideals?

I got the same way! Started my 2 week liquid pre-op diet last week and my surgeon had me start my new Vitamin regimen, mainly to get used to it, etc. I started getting nauseated with the extra meds and having just liquids didn't help any either! I started taking them with my Protein Shakes since that's the only substance I have had and it's helped some. I have also evened out the Vitamins, multi and Biotin with Breakfast shake, Calcium and Iron with lunch shake, etc. so I wasn't filling my stomach with all of them at the same time. Hope this helps....

Yes before i take my meds and the Vitamins i always eat first, and drink Water, but for some reason the metformin is still going straight through me. grrr, i was only given a few packets of powder Protein mixes from the clinic to try, so i dont do them very regular. but i have cut back alot on calorie intake. with higher protein. still trying to find the best Protein Drink for me. not having to much luck. our Walmart here doesnt have alot. I did get this muscle milk that claims its lactose free and high protein, and contains no milk but 180 calories. protein is 20g, carbs 10 g, sugars 3g, it says for ingredients milk protein, havent tried it yet. I have to have lactose free, if i find a good powder i will be using fat free lactaid, really like that milk

      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.
