Today is two weeks post op and I feel sick half of the day everyday. Most of the time it's in the morning but, today I did something different. I took my meds at night instead of the morning and I had a yogurt instead of a Protein shake for Breakfast and I felt like a million bucks! But now I feel like sick. I'm not throwing up or anything but my head is dizzy and I have a headache. What am I doing wrong? I want to feel great all day or is it just to soon for that?

How is your hydration? Being dehydrated can make you feel sick, nauseated, weak, headache and even dizzy if it gets bad enough.

The most difficult thing for us WLS patients is to stay hydrated. Are you getting 64oz of fluids?

That could be what is causing your symptoms. I know it is hard, I had a hard time for the first month but once I was able to get fluids in me, I immediately got my energy back too.

It was about 7 weeks before I started feeling myself.

Best of luck to you!

      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.
