Sick and Dont want to eat...



Recommended Posts

Today I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I got up and ate an egg hoping that would make me feel better. But it didn't. Has anyone felt so sick and/or nauseous and didnt eat anything? I just feel if I do try and eat something I'm going to puke. I barley was able to keep my Vitamins down with Water. Any body has suggestions on what I should do?

My Doctor told me at about 3weeks I will probably feel sick to my stomach. Hang in there. Try a few mini saltine crackers.

I am four months out and still have bad days. I use Zofran frequently to help with the nausea. Saltine crackers also help. My nausea has been since surgery and somedays I can eat something and be fine the next eat the same thing and nauseous. On my bad days I just drink Protein Drinks and water....

Unjury is all I can handle after surgery and I have to make it with milk, NOT Water, if I did water, I'd hurl. I also found I have to use flavored syrups to cover up the horrible Protein flavor.

Hi

My ops in a week and I have all these worries. What are Protein drinks like I am thinking of getting some for a back up. I hate feeling or being sick. Good luck x

Annette

It will be trial and error on the Protein Drinks after surgery. Your taste buds will change. Talk to your nut and see if she has any sample packs for you to have on hand.. mine did. If not, I would suggest having a few sample packs of different ones on hand to try after surgery. Dont spend alot of money before surgery. I did and threw out so much.

WOW!! I'm post of 4/17 and I too began the worst 48 hours ever. I cannot eat or drink anything!!! I'm so glad I came across your thread. I started with zofran again today which helped but didn't solve. I'm finishing out 48 hours w/no Protein and hardly even Water. I was in bathroom much of the night. I'm going to try a cracker in a few mins.

Day 3. How do I know something isn't wrong?

If you are unable to hold liquids down then I would be very concerned and call your surgeon as you can easily become very dehydrated and ill. I also tell people that if they get sick like vomit after they eat or it hurts call their surgeon. Even on my bad days I was always able to drink and get Protein in.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
