Call your surgeon's office and ask them to call in a prescription for Zofran ODT - ODT dissolves under your tongue so it works better. I had to use Zofran for a LONG time post-op but nausea eventually went away.

I hope this gets better for you. Morning of day 1 post op is the only day I dealt with nausea.

I was sleeved 8/1/16 and I've had some nausea but nothing like you described. Mine has been mainly in waves when I get out of bed or take a shower.

I did try eating very soft Mac and cheese tonight just to have something to chew and while it was delicious, I was too stressed out to enjoy due to concern of taking too big of bite or was I going to get sick? It made my stomach upset after and I probably only ate 10 elbow macaronis.

Your doctor doesnt have you on a liquid diet? Im going on week 3 and am just now dareing full liquids and maybe purees.

Be careful and try Clear Liquids your first week. You can tear you stitches eating soft foods.

I hit the 60 oz goal fairly quickly surprisingly bc it took freaking all day just sip sip sip so that's why I decided to try the super soft Mac and cheese but learned the hard way I need to wait a little longer since it gave me diarrhea (I think? Maybe a combo of that anesthesia still releasing)

Fatty or sugary foods cause dumping. I have to say im suprised you are able to get that much liquid down so quicky. Try sugar free Jello if you can. It makes you feel full and gives you the chewing motion. I froze chrystal like and ate those and it helped alit with chewing and my constant thirst

Good luck

I haven't heard of "dumping " before. I hope this isn't a brand new constant issue. I will have to try the Jello and crystal lite cubes!! Thank you!!

You are very welcome.

Dumping is something you will have to be careful of from now on. Fatty foods, sugary foods both cause it.

I've been trying to force myself to do full liquids and am still to affraid because they make me feel like I'm stretching my stomach and I'm a wimp to pain.. Lol..

Remember to take your multi Vitamins, nasty as they are.. Lol

      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.
