I breezed through the first two days aftery my Oct 16th surgery, but woke up on day three feeling dizzy and nauseous. I sipped on a Protein drink and started to feel better, but every time I went for a few hours without drinking something the nausea returned. I called the Dr and he said probably low blood sugar. He said keep eating(drinking) as often as possible - not just the Water - and try to get some carbs at night before bed to tide me over until morning. I am sticking with the Carnation Instant breakfasts since they seem to have some sugar in them and they chase away the dizziness. He also called in a prescription for me though - just in case. I read that getting sick and especially if you throw up - takes a long time to recover from that in the early days.

Try some more carbs would be my advice (from my Dr)

Good luck

Judy

      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.
