So I had a post a little bit ago stating foods weren't tasting right to me. It progressed to the point where even I can't tolerate a popsicle! I have been sipping on Water, though. I haven't eaten in about three days now and am extremely nauseated. I vomited today, so I reached out to my surgeon. He is having me sip on hot tea and water for now and I am to go into the hospital tomorrow via his orders. I am nervous because I don't want to stay another night in a hospital (they were very good to me). Has anyone been through this? Needing encouragement right now :unsure:

Take a deep breath, my friend and do what you have to do.

Try to let go what you can't control and give over to your surgeon. He/she will be able to get you on the right path. Have faith.

Please, post often. We care.

Prayers going up for you.

Went to the doctor today. I was given another nausea medicine to pair with the Zofran. They also ran a couple labs on me and I was sent to their infusion center. They gave me fluids for about three hours and I did feel better. I managed so sip a little Soup for dinner and did not get sick...yay!

I'm having problems getting enough fluids and Protein. My taste changed after my surgery, I didn't expect that. Protein Shakes, smoothies make me very nauseated. I can sip popsicles. Any advice appreciated.

My doctors gave me a combination of medicines and it helped. How are you with Water?

Oddly enough, Water tastes funny. I'm only going to the bathroom 1-2 Times daily and it's not much. I'm afraid I'm getting dehydrated. I'm sipping as much as I can. Usually 30oz max. Suggestions appreciated.

keep sipping the popsicles and Water as much as you can. KEEP SIPPING.

In the morning, call your surgeon's office and let them know the trouble you are having. They will be able to guide you over this rough bump.

Just prepare yourself to have IV fluids if you can't get enough fluids in. Doing so will actually make you feel a great deal better. Is it pleasant? no. Does it help? Hell, yeah!

Let us know how you're doing.

Prayers going up for you!

I appreciate your answer so much! I was kind of guessing about the IV. My skin is getting dry as well. I guess I'll call the office in the morning.

      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.
