I am going through this as well. My surgery was October 15. I did fine for a couple weeks then all of a sudden everything made me sick. Just the smell of food or coffee in my office had me nauseous. I called my Nutritionist, she asked if I had changed anything besides her food advancement, I had stopped taking my esophageal spasms meds; along with pain meds. She said that I needed to keep taking the spasm meds while I introduce food. It's like a whole new plumbing system. It helped some, I can handle smells and food a little better. But still always feel just a little off. Good luck. I sure hope this subsides quickly.

You may need a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) to reduce the acids in your stomach. Something over the counter like Omeprazole (Prilosec). I took that every day for like 6 months.

Excess acid can cause all sorts of stomach upset - nausea, feelings of hunger.

I got Prilosec but it says only take it for 14 days at a time and not less than four months apart. How were you able to take it everyday for so long?

I was told to go buy it (Omeprazole) the over the counter and take it once daily because I was having acid reflux and felt nausous. I got it at Target, but saw it also at Walgreens and the like. I kept taking it until my 6 month appointment and they told me to try coming off it at that point, and I did then with no issues.

      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.
