Laurie, I too am 5 wks 2 days. I was just queasy with my choc Protein Shake about 15 min ago. Fortunately, mine doesn't stay all the time. I had to stop my shake which will be continued later. Funny how surreal surgery was. There was some discomfort but had none of the extreme nausea and discomfort experienced by some. Then 3 wks out I got gas so bad I could hardly move or breathe. It lasted about 4 days and I was so sore. Now I am starting to have nausea as of yesterday. When I lie down at night the hormones get started and I have flashes all night with the perspiration all over. I am sorry that you are having such problems. I hope it gets better soon. If you have nausea Meds from your surgeon, dont hesitate to take it; if not call the Surgeon's office and tell them your problem. They can help you while you get over this hurdle. I'm sure that when we reach goal it will all be worth it. Hold on, better days are coming.

Thanks Ann, I get very frustrated that others are doing so well and I am not. Hope you feel better soon too.

I went to copy something from my last post but edited/deleted my post by mistake :(. Just wanted to update to say I turned a corner the next day, am feeling so much better these past few days! I've managed to walk 3 miles/day and meet my Protein & Water reqs. I think the eating every 3 hours made the difference.

I hope you are doing better Laurie?

I've been feeling very tired and light headed when I stand up. My Dr said I wasn't getting enough Water. I upped my water to 64oz and my Protein is about 90 gms. Still feel like crap. What gives?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
