So recovery has been tough to say the least. Surgery was January 6th. Still struggling to get in 64oz of Water in a day ... 2 Protein Shakes ... and take my Vitamins. My stomach has been very sensitive, as I get nauseous very easily. My doctor progressed my diet to purees, and sometimes after a bite of food. I'm extremely nauseous. I'm wondering if this is normal, and how people went around it. I've tried the Isopure Zero carb drinks and absolutely hate them after surgery. Prior to surgery I enjoyed them. I find many things are either too sour or too sweet for me now.

Same thing with my vitamins, I was initially prior to surgery taking optisource and one night after surgery I went to take it and had to resist the sensation of vomiting. My doctor told me to only start my vitamins when the nausea ends. But I ordered some Bariatric fusion in a different flavor hoping that helps.

ANY suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I really need to up my water and Protein.

Hey, were surgery twins. I got sleeved same day. Try flavor in ur Water, maybe lemon. I use TRUE LEMON was on my nut list. Its crystallized lemons, no sugar. I've always hated Water. My nut also approved a splash of juice in my water, no more than 1oz. It works great n helps me get more water in

Im already on phase 3 but was able to have chicken n tuna on puree stage so that helps w Protein count. Try app called Protein tracker, blue icon with white dumbbell.

We're you prescribed an antacid and an anti nausea medicine when you were discharged?

I am having similar issues. Sleeved 1/17. I hate the Isopure but it's really all I can get down. Did you try the little propel packets in your Water? Or even crystal light? Also my nausea is better when I eat "real food". I had a very scrambled egg and some fat free yogurt (not together) and I felt better.

Try Syntrax Nectar. It's Water and Protein so it helps meet both goals.

      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.
