Like 3 bites of split peas Soup. I've had it everyday for weeks.. So scared I hate feeling that way it felt like I was dying

Sometimes the things you could eat you can't like a day after it's weird. Ya i heard the feeling sucks. I myself have never had out and i pray i never do. Just be careful, maybe not eat that soup anymore. Glad your better

My surgeon said it could be low blood pressure due to dehydration. If you can, check your blood pressure or I think he said if there is a difference in your pulse between sitting and standing. I get spells of this.

Califmomto4 my blood pressure has steadily been around 98/62 all day. I know it's low end if normal but normal none the less. I'm wondering if because my blood pressure was semi high before surgery ... Maybe my body adjusting??

It happened to me at 3 weeks out and I was in fact dehydrated and had to go to the ER and get a bag of fluids. Be careful, call your surgeon.

      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.
