I am 11 days out and everything I ingest makes me burp or pass gas and I get extremely sick. Is this normal? Should I contact the doctor. I have my week post-op and wasn't feeling this bad. I've been having trouble with Protein and Water. I am suppose to start soft foods in 3 days and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Will this get better? Please help.

@@angriggs86 You probably should contact your surgeon...which surgery did you have? Are you taking a proton pump inhibitor like Protonix to keep your stomach acid down? Excess acid can cause all of the symptoms you're having.

You need to be able to keep Water and Liquid Protein down before you should consider advancing to soft foods, so seeing your doctor or at least calling seems necessary. Good luck and I hope you're feeling better soon!

I was the same way. Around days 10 and 11 I began to get physically sick from my Protein Shakes. Weakness, nausea, and discomfort with drinking Protein. I managed to stick it out until I saw my NUT on day 16. I was then granted soft foods. Even though most the soft foods don't make me nauseas, I still get discomfort after eating a lot of them. I think this is totally normal, and I expect it to get better.

You will find, on soft foods, that some goes down very well, and others not so much. It is trial and error. But if you are like me, adding the variety of soft foods for the most part eliminates the sickness you are getting now.

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.
