So I had my surgery Thursday went home Saturday, the pain has stopped in my stomache and I've been able to finally pass gas .. but since last night my stomache has Been hurting I feel extremely neasus and I'm shaking. I can't drink anything I know I'm supposed to have I blv 65 grams of Protein a day but I'm barley getting 15. It takes me 2 days to drink one pre made shake. I just want to sleep all day so I can stop feeling sick. I'm very lightheaded as well. Idk if this is because I just had surgery and should give it a couple days or if I should go back to the hospital

Yu probably feel that way because you are not getting in enough fluids. Which yu will need to go back to the hospital if yu become dehydrated.

I was sleeved on the 6/20/16 and it was very difficult to get my Protein in the first couple of days but it gets easier as each day passes. But yu have to SIP...SIP... SIP. All day if yu have to. I had to switch Protein because my sleeve was refusing the milk based shakes... so I started using the protein that taste like fruit juice. You have to try different things until yu find what works for you!! But if yu don't feel any better yu may need to go to the hospital

It is common for patients to be unable to meet their Protein and Fluid requirements during the first few weeks after surgery. Their bodies are in a major heal mode. Keep trying each day and you should be able to get there.

You may need to experiment with various Protein shakes in order to find one that you can tolerate. There are a wide variety out there. You don't have to like it, just tolerate it. Can you drink milk. Eight ounces of 1% milk has 8 grams. If you fortify the milk by adding in a quarter cup of dry powdered milk, it bring it up to 14 grams.

      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.
