Hope I don't get anyone upset by posting again on this- I posted two days about regressing and feeling badly. Since then it has really done downhill even more. It's like I am back at week 2 - I can smell everything intensely again and it all grosses me out so badly. The bad breath and taste in my mouth is back again- haven't had either of those in 5 weeks- but most painful is the intense nausea I feel all day long. And I mean not a break in it at all. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning and that one thing took me over a hour to eat ( like in the very beginning )

I called doctor and they said to go back to Clear liquids for a few days and work my way back up through the steps.

I am really hoping this has happened to someone else???? ANYONE? I am scared about feeling this way- I have three little kids and can't feel like this-

Thanks so much :)

One person in my support group said they went through severe 24 -7 nausea that stopped them from eating so long they had to be hospitalized and fed via a picc line. Yikes. But b they did get better and now they look awesome. I don't kniw b about the wolf smell and taste thing...maybe the hormonal shifts perhaps? Bad breath though sounds like either mouth or v stomach issues. Wish I knew how to h elp

Can you take the anti nausea medicine again. I found it very effective. I'm one month out and I take it as needed, it helps. I also use Biotene dry mouth everyday and that helps too. The past few days I've been drinking Water with fresh mint in it, throughout the day. It keeps my mouth fresh. Feel better.

Hi... To me and this is just my opinion...it sounds like you are possibly starting to dehydrate. It's a vicious cycle since the nausea gets worse with dehydration but with dehydration comes a nauseous stomach. You can't drink much bc your sick but can't get feeling better without drinking. Also sounds like maybe you have shifted into ketosis. For me anyways that has always been a nasty, gagging, horrible taste and smelly breath issue. Like I said , just my personal opinion and problems I've had with it. Try using a coffee pot for just the hot Water but instead of coffee use white TicTacs to flavor the Water and freshen your mouth.

Good luck and I pray you get better by morning! Positive thoughts and prayers your way!!

Thank you everyone . I am so down it is getting hard for me to get through the day with my kids.

Dehydration is def a concern and maybe the culprit? I don't drink much of anything at all. Choking down Water is very hard

I was never given anti nausea meds- I am going in to dr Monday ( with or without an appt) and will ask about that.

I just can't see past this and keep thinking it will never stop. 6 days of super nausea is rough. Never had it before

Thank you all again

I'm new on here but I can share with you similar experience of what you're feeling. I had to go back to the sip-sip-sip method because the nausea was so bad. All I could consume was Premier Protein or Gatorade. Everything else made me want to throw up. Just the smell.

I have a three year who requires a lot of help to walk and I know how hard it is to tend to a child and feel miserable. Even more having to cook for them when everything you smell makes you vomit. However please drink as much as you can. Even if it means you take little sips all day. Your body needs the fluids.

I always look at it this way, with this surgery it will always be a "two steps forward, one step back" kind of thing, but please don't give upIt does get better and remember everyones body reacts different. Hang in there luv

You really need to stay hydrated bc dehydration will put you in the hospital and make you feel sick. You can buy ice chips, popsicles and sugar free flavored water to help with Fluid intake as well. Sometimes it's easier to take in Fluid that way vs straight Water. Getting some anti nausea meds might go a long way as well

If you have a sonic near you, get a large cup of ice. They have pellet ice - it's really easy because it melts faster than ice chips. Dehydration does a lot of bad things that will make you feel like crap. There's also OTC nausea meds geared to pregnant women - can't recall the brand, but maybe look that up if you can't get the rx. Good luck! ❤

For me, plain Water was the hardest thing to drink early out. Have you tried adding crystal light, Mio drops, or other water enhancers to your water?

Thanks everyone- really with this encouragement I can stay more positive

Unfortunately Anything added to Water makes me cringe- everything taste so yucky sweet. But I will go get some sonic ice and nausea Meds.

I have been drinking Water this am.... With just force it down

It's just SO WEIRD- that I was doing fine and now - back to week 2 feelings. I am really hoping the dehydration is the key. Thanks again everyone. You have made me hopeful feeling badly can really screw your mind!!

      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.
