I know this is What I signed up for and that things will get better with time but I'm so sick ALL the time. I can't even think about getting in Protein cause the thought of protein makes me sick. Getting in Fluid is a struggle specially since plain Water makes me vomit. Can't wait till I start to feel normal again.

I am 4 days out and today started having what I believe are gas pains. They come about every 3 minutes then pass right across the top of my stomach so I'm a little worried. I can't lay on my side or stomach which is what I'd normally do so anyone have suggestions? Is this normal?? Please help :(

Having the same problem and it's been a month for me. I haven't been happy either. On top I'm only losing 1lb a week.

Eating too few calories can prevent weight loss. I am in the same boat but just congratulate myself when no have a good day and try to remember this is a learning curve. Crying also helps Lol

try nectar flavorless in water with crystal light. There's barely any taste, maybe a slight scent of the powder but that may help from the sweet shakes

yes. Gas strips. Two at a time, one after another and it helps. Burp burp burp. I started feeling them in my shoulder. Took a good three days for them to work them all out. Hang in there!

Day 16 and I'm just over it !! I just want to be able to go out with my family for Mother's Day tomorrow. I know it's not true but right now I feel like I will never be "normal" again. I can't even think about food, I kind of hate everything :( This is my 3rd surgery and by far the hardest !!

I hear ya. I just wanted to take my mom.put to my fave food places and couldn't and felt so defeated but that's how I got here, place so much emphasis on food. We will eat again...soon Lol n

      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.
