Sometimes if your backed up it can make you nauseated I hear some go for several days in between I guess it really depends on your food which we know isn't much but is it more solid or more liquids Is there anything else going on are is it you now you just don't feel right listen to your body if nothing else go to emergency room if its to bad cause you now your body better and how you feel and you don't want more problems cause the dr won't listen to you

You never told us how it went with your hubby! I'm curious! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='^_^' />

It went well. He had bought me a fishnet body suit a couple months back. I had worn it once and felt do uncomfortable in it that I never wore it again. So I tried it on again on friday and it felt ok. I went to target and bought a little black sundress in a large. I tried it on and it fit!!! Loosely I might add. So I wore that over the fishnet bodysuit. I felt a little rediculous so I put a big jacket on to cover me. But when we got home I took it off and he was surprised ! It was a nice afternoon!

This is TMI ' date=' however, does it make anyone else nauseas when having a BM ? I at suppose to go back to work tonight and I am still trying to tell my doctor (who I think does not believe me) that something is not right. I really just do not know what to do from here. I am getting very depressed about this.[/quote']

I am so sorry you are in so much pain! I truly hope you get some relief real soon. I can't remember if you went to the ER but I would. Just remember this to shall pass! Here's to a speedy recovery. I'm claiming it for you!

When was the last time you checked your blood pressure ? I know when I was on BP meds. I would crave and I mean really bad crave salty things ( pickles/green olives) I could sit and eat a while contained. It was bad. I think this was happening when my pressure was getting too low. I think? I do not understand it now because I am off all BP meds and my BP runs pretty prefect / low and I have yet to crave salt. I do however REALLY want a chicken salad :( really bad! In time maybe? Lol

I feel great! No pain meds since the hospital, already back at the gym and now on soft foods. I'm just worried about how the soft foods will effect my weight loss.

I'm feeling sorry for myself today! In an effort to get exercise' date=' I decided to walk to my doctor's appointment yesterday (it's about 45 minutes to an hour walk). On the way, I slipped and fell on the ice not once, but twice. I re-injured my left rotator cuff, was in so much pain I couldn't stop crying. I called a cab to get me and take me straight to the ED (missed my doctor appointment), and I have a bruise roughly the shape (and size) of Rhode Island on my left hip.

In good news, I didn't break my hip, and all my digestive tract insides seem to escape unhurt.[/quote']

I hope you are feeling better. I'm sorry but I also fell after surgery and am still in bed. I'm so glad you didn't break your hip. Prayers for a speedy recovery,

Kat

      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.
