I guess the diarrhea is cuz we're not eating food just drinking. Hoping once I'm on mushy it goes away

I had the hideous diarrhea too! But I think it was from the Gatorade - I'm now on the other end of the scale!

Jen Em Cee I'd never had surgery either so the whole thing has been a bit of a "AHHH! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" moment! :)

Hey guys! Sleeved 11/19 discharged from the hospital yesterday 11/21. First/second day were very hard for me. I had extremely bad nausea, vomiting, dry heaves. Any time I changed position/walked - it happened. Was not excepting that at all. I'm starting really slow. Drinking 1-2 oz of Clear liquids now that I'm home but it's been hard. Need to start Protein tomorrow and in not sure how well that's going to go. I did get all my Vitamins in today so that's the only thing I feel I've been able to accomplish. Defiantly harder then I thought it would be. I'm really worried I'm not going to be able to get the Protein in and that it will just make me sick.

Hope everyone else is doing well xo

HI I had my sleeve 11/11. 16 lbs down and my blood sugar is under 130!

I'm having problems being bored with Protein shakes and I'm wanting reg food badly.

Anyone else having this problem?

Oh and I was told the diarrhea is from the Vitamins and all the liquids...? I've had it everyday since surgery.

I'd stick with clear liquids until the nausea subsides. The first week I was only drinking 100% fruit juice diluted 50/50 with Water. It help with nausea.

Ladies, My diarrhea, shoulder pain, gases are really interrupting me of enjoying my sleeve. Although my gases have gotten alot better since my surgery (Nov 17) I also have the hardest time sleeping. My sofa has become my bed that's the only place I'm able to sleep for a couple of hours. What Protein are y'all taking? I am only taking in the carnation Breakfast. I still haven't felt full yet not even with Water. I'm on phase 2 and never finish what I'm eating not because I'm full but because I get gross out,lol! And also the gases don't let me.

Hope everyone is having a better day then yesterday :)

Upside for the day I had my first ???? and passed some gas felt a little better, can't wait for the pain to go away from the surgery

Txgirl for the gas take a towel, wind up tight to make it hard and press it against your stomach. Try burping it out. &&&& walk, walk, walk. Good luck!

      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.
