5 weeks out and still feeling horrible.



Recommended Posts

Has this happened to anyone else? When did it subside?

I'm (no exaggerating) am nauseous 24/7, having a hard time getting liquids and food in, nothing sounds appetizing. I've been the the ER twice for pain and dehydration and have had every test in the book. There is nothing wrong. I'm miserable. Is this going to be my new life?

HELP

I'm only 3 weeks post op. However, there is definitely something not right. I only get nauseous if I drink to fast or after I take my Vitamins. I would definitely make an appointment and make sure there's not inflammation or something. I hope you feel better.

My surgeon prescribed zofran to prevent nauseousness. Maybe get a prescription for that to help you.

I am just over 5 weeks post op, the first 3-4 weeks were miserable. Nauseated all the time, had to be put on IV fluids for 3 days twice. Then it just started getting better. I still deal with occasional nausea but have meds for that. Just hang in there it does get better.

      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.
