Awww, sorry to hear but don't worry, it DOES GET BETTER! Remember to walk, remember to continue to take small frequent sips of Water and PROTEIN! I bet in another week you'll start to feel really great! Good Luck!

if you have nausea and vomiting, please call your doctor and maybe they can give you something for that. i have read many people getting anti-nausea meds post surgery. you need to keep what little you are getting in you IN you. :)

No you are not alone at all. I didn't realize I would feel so horrible either. It happens to a lot of people. Take pain meds and sleep. Get the dr to give you an anti-nausea med. It is very hard but about week 3 for me started getting much better. I am week 7 now and feeling much more normal. It is a traumatic surgery. Please try to rest and know you will soon be much better.

      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.
