Today I woke up around 9am ish and I still have no appetite just so you know. I Grab myself a Atkins chocolate Protein Shake for Breakfast (first time trying the chocolate kind and i felt fine after my first couple sips so I continued) and I still can only drink half at a time. When I was done it was around 10:00 and Had a few sips of Gatorade zero At 10:30. At around 10:45 I decided to go for a walk and made myself a task to walk around my court for 10 minutes since last week I would do you 5 minutes 2 times a day. Well today during my walk I felt fine I didn’t think I pushed it until I came back inside my house and sat down. I felt slightly nauseous. At about 11:00 The nausea I have had lesson so I decided to make an appointment to get my nails done and at around 12 I started to get more nauseous, more than earlier! I thought it’s fine it’ll go away like earlier so at 12:45 I started to get ready to leave for my appointment to the nail salon and I sit down crying from how nauseous I was. I felt like throwing up but I wouldn’t. I ended up calling at 1:15 to cancel my appointment. After that I was telling my mother whom stayed home with me last week just Incase and she was telling me to just rest and not go anywhere. So I lay down and fell asleep at 1:40 and woke up an hour later feeling like nothing happened.

Has this happened to anyone?

I haven't had my vgs surgery yet but I have had many other surgeries. I have tried to get back to normal to quick and have felt nauseous when I had over done it. We all heal differently and at different rates. Listen to your body ( which you did) and take it slowly. If it gets worse than call the practice you had your surgery and see if you need to be seen. Better to be safe then sorry.

I told my surgeon today at my follow up and he told me I probably over did it and with barely anything in me that caused it but he said that will happen and it’s nice to pin point

      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.
