Use wondering if anyone else has issues with nausea from time to time? I've had extreme nausea appear out of the blue twice so far. First time it happened in the morning before Breakfast and just now before dinner.

Starting to wonder if going 4-5 hours without food is too much?

I actually get very nauseous when I haven't eaten in awhile it is the signal that tells me I really need to eat

being nauseated could be a sign of low blood sugar. if you don't have one get a glucose meter. your doctor needs to prescribe it. if you get it from one of the clubs like diabetic care the meter is free you just have to buy or have insurance pay for the strips etc. but I do think this is something you should let your doctor know.

- I suspect y'all are correct with the low blood sugar. My husband is pre-diabetic and has the supplies so periodically I've had him check me and every time it's come out in the normal range. I should have had him try it last night but didn't.

So, assuming that's the case, I assume eat a little something even before I actually get hungry? This is all so confusing...the thrill of getting in the green zone (not getting hungry for 4-5 hours) vs eat anyway or you get sickly...UGH!

Thank y'all for the input!

      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.
