Having a rough day today. All these chewable vitamins are making me sick. I feel like everything I can eat is mostly sweet and then all the Protein waters are sweet. My stomach is upset and I am feeling weak and shaky. I have so much to get done and don't feel like doing any of it. Can anyone relate?

If you just had surgery in the past week, that might happen. That happened to me for the first few days. Everything was so sweet and just made me feel sick. Do you have nausea meds? I used those to make sure I could get my protein in. The sweetness should stop in a few days.

I feel the same exact way. I am so sick of these Protein drinks and its only day 7. I'm starting full liquids tomorrow and need some real inspiration on what to eat that isn't going to leabe me lightheaded and shaky all day!

Not sure what phase you're in but you can get some clear Protein Powder and put it in applesauce. That helps me get it down. Somebody suggested putting it in potato Soup.< /p>

Thanks everyone it's good to know this is all normal. Tomorrow I am 10 days out from surgery. I might have to switch to easier Vitamins to take. Today I squeezed lemon juice in regular Water and that helped to get the sweet taste out of my mouth. Yay!!

I was sleeved on the 12th. I've lost 16 lbs since surgery. 1st week was really tough, but now I feel better every day. I'm starting the puréed stage. I'm scared to try anything because I have trouble getting Protein Shakes down...especially the thicker ones. I've been getting my Protein in every day, but I can never reach my Fluid goal. It's tough because I feel like I'm drinking ALL DAY!!!

Hello! I had my sleeve done on the 11th and I just wanted to see how others were doing so far.

Best wishes to all!

Hi there! Sleeved 2/11. Saw Dr yesterday and down 14 lbs since surgery and 77 total ... finally under 300 for first time in years. Definite learning curve regarding Fluid intake and food amounts. I instituted a fluid/food/shake schedule that I'm finding helps me a lot. Journaling helps me and my NUT see everything I'm consuming. Feeling pretty good so far, looking forward to moving from pureed foods to soft/mushy foods next week.

Sleeved 2/25. So far I feel pretty good. I'm pretty much off pain meds and getting out a bit. Today, I have been fighting diareha, presumably because I have been taking a stool softener since day 1. I'm tired, and I haven't been tracking my Water intake. Today, I switched from Clear Liquids to broth and shakes. I had three so far (7;00pm) and I'll have one more. I was also able to get about a cup of strained chicken Soup down. From what I am reading, I'd say I'm doing very well.

I hope everyone is well

Cheers

      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.
