Hello, I’ve been down a few days after surgery. Trying to force myself to eat. Nothing is good to me. Yogurt, Jello, low sodium cream Soups and broth’s.

I keep getting this weird feeling in my chest after drinking fluids, and eating very yucky feeling. Suffering the past few days with major headaches and HBP. went to emergency last night for headaches and they only gave me Tylenol. I spent $100 for that tidbit of information. Feel nauseated most of the time.

I am so sorry you’re experiencing that. It really is true that he’s they say on here everyone’s experience is unique. Nothing tastes good to me either but what’s been working is thinking of the nutrients and nourishment my body needs so I changed my brain to not look for the yummy just yet and think of it as a necessity.

could the headaches be coming from dehydration? I took my nausea meds once and it really helped you should have some. I also make sure I take my Omeprazole(Prilosec) as well to minimize the stomach acid.

Lastly just try to get as much rest as you can too. Our body does all of our healing while we’re sleeping so rest, and rest some more after you’ve done your walking. I am praying for yoke healing.

      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.
