Hi Anna! Don't let your post surgery emotions get the best of you! Your body just went thru major surgery, and it will take time for it to feel as it did before. In the meantime, it is trying to figure out "Where the heck did the other 3/4 of my stomach go? It was just right here! I hate when I can't find something I'm looking for!" and it is sending mixed messages to the brain. Five months from now you will be so excited over your new body that the memory of this past month will be replaced with thoughts of "Wow, I look HOT! What surgery?". LOL We are all here for you whenever you need us to get you thru the bad times! I'm sending you some hugs OOOOOOOOOOOO!

Have you called the doctor? They can prescribe something for the nausea. You should call ASAP. If you get too nauseous to drink your Protein shakes or Fluid you can end up dehydrated.

They'll likely give you IV fluids. Make sure you ask for prescriptions for anti-nausea and a good PPI.

Im at the hospital now

Me too, I've been in and out about 4-5 times since my surgery on 9/4. I regret my decision daily. I'm losing weight but I feel sick daily and never know how my body will respond to food or even Water. They send me home with meds and I end up right back. I pray the figure out what's going on this time. You're not alone!

      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.
