Just had surery on th 25th

[sashalk 9]

So, every time i try to sip down Water, i feel like a have to burp. I get this gurgling that goes up my throat. Is that normal? And everything that has a sweet taste to me tastes disgusting, and everything that has a salty taste is now too salty. I font even like the taste of plain Water. Am i ever going to get my old taste back? Since i got home yesterday i stopped taking the pain killer. I tried taking the meds for nausea, but that just made me even more nauseous. And i am having A very difficult time keeping up with fluids and Protein.

That is TOTALLY normal!! The first few days are definitely the hardest, but you'll figure things out soon enough. I had the same experience with my tastes! before surgery I LOVED crystal light, and now it is way too sour/sweet for me. After a few weeks I was basically back to normal in terms of taste. I don't remember having much problems with drinking Water, but I know I definitely didn't get enough Fluid or protein....but you have to listen to your body and do the best you can!!! Best of luck to you!

Hi, I'm new here, I just had my surgery on the 23. I'm depressed, sad, weak, and hungry. I can't take in more than 2 teaspoons of broth. Has anyone else had that problem?

Im sorry, I know it's hard to change the way you feel but for me, I had the band and it failed me and I didnt think rny was a option and I git depressed but in the end it worked and I am now a slow loss but can not let it get me down! Keep in touch! Im always here

[lovehubby 2]

Wow, I had the band on May 18, 07 and I had to have emergency surgery 2 weeks later to take it out. I was told by the surgeon my body rejected the lap band. It took a long time for me to work up the courage to get the bypass. I no in time it will get better.

I had surgery the 23rd also! SAME THING! Very aggravating!!! Now I am to the point where I can hardly put a Protein shake in my mouth.....URGH!!!

This is completely normal. I had surgery in May and was angry, tired, emotional, stressed, etc. It got better for me when I started eating real foods again. liquids and soft foods made me gag most of the time. I would say I started feeling kind of normal at 6 weeks. Focus on what you need to get done and what can wait. Don't be too hard on yourself. Celebrate when you achieve your Protein and Fluid amounts. It is HARD at first. I guess that is why not everyone is having the surgery. You can do it! I am 4.5 months out started at 237.5 lbs now I am 173.5. Still have days that are hard but it does get better.

I can't really take in much, I just got out of the hospital for dehydration. It was such a horrible experience, I was so dehydrated they couldn't find a vain for the iv. I was poked over 8 times. I was told the last time if they couldn't find the vain, they were going to have to go in my groin or neck. Thank god they were able finally get it in. Now I'm home and I can't really take in Water or Jello, I feel like it is setting in my chest.
