Hi everyone I'm almost 5 weeks out I got my sleeve on 2/1 and everything's been running smooth but for the past week I throw up with any Protein Shake and I've been having a hard time meeting my Protein and fluids goals because I'm always so nauseous. Has anyone gone through this?

Also this started one day when I had puréed chicken and I'm guessing I ate too fast so I threw up, but now I throw up everyday regardless of how slow I eat I've been regressing back to even thinner puréed foods I'm supposed start incorporating regular soft foods next week but I don't feel quite ready.

I don't have advice regarding the throwing up everyday except to call your surgeon. I say it over and over but I was a NUISANCE to my surgical office. And so what?? lol! I called everyday from like week 3 to week 6. That did not happen to me and I'm not sure why it is happening to you. My only recommendation is to call your surgeons office and explain what's happening and if they aren't taking you seriously start crying or something. Make yourself seem like you are such a mess they HAVE To see you.

Also my surgeon said this isn't a race, we can move back to the earlier steps if we feel we aren't ready. It's always ok to move back to the first few weeks protocols.

Moving backwards is actually the correct thing to do if something doesn't agree. Go back to full liquids for a couple days after vomiting (during the first 8 weeks).

Hope you feel better soon!

      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.
