LesbianDad30 33 Posted December 24, 2018 Today I am one week post op. I feel more nauseous than anything. I try to relieve it with burping but its starting to disgust me. Today I stood on the scale at 266.0. makes me happy. But this has been a long road. I really really regret it. I am 18 pounds down. I need to stay away from the scale. The Protein Shakes make me feel sick to my stomach. My me maw made me some chicken broth. I also got a couple pints of low sodium chicken broth from Walmart. But it does me no justice. Its nasty. Its like my taste buds are different. Before surgery I ate Popsicle sf and Jello sf. Now it tastes disgusting to me.The homemade broth is the best part. Today my pain tolerance is a little better. sleeping is still very uncomfortable. I'm not able to cuddle which sucks. Bending forward without gaping my legs like a frog is bad. It is very uncomfortable to sit straight up. i drink Water and crystal light fine. The Proteins I'm having trouble getting in. I'm angry and I'm just ready to reclaim my life. I tried Maalox and it helped. But I see I'm still constipated. Overall it has been a nightmare from hell. I'm praying for better days. 1 LesbianDad30 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jv_vsg 1 Posted December 24, 2018 Hi, I'm on my week 2 post op. It does get better day by day. Hang in there. I feel like the 1st week can be hard but it slowly eases up. I'd speak with the doctor if there is anything you can do for nausea. I get nauseous at times too but it's mainly when I've eaten too much. It is a clue that I'm full. Also remembering to eat slow and small bites has helped me avoid those discomforts from my tummy after eating. Good Luck! and don't give up. It will get better. I promise. Just follow the recommendations from your surgical team and be patient. It's all worth it in the end :). 1 LesbianDad30 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nelliesa21 19 Posted December 24, 2018 I'm 5 days post op and I get what you are saying. I do feel like everyday gets a little better. Also, I know what you mean about the taste buds, a lot of things taste weird to me now. Somethings taste really metallic to me. I have no doubt it'll get better. 1 LesbianDad30 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
