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

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.

      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.
