  3. Hi all! I had my vertical sleeve gastrectomy on Dec. 5, 2011 by Dr. Mitchell Roslin at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC. I attended all the seminars and appointments required of me before having the surgery. I'm a 5' 4" female weighing 241 pre op. I thought I had asked all questions prior to the surgery but I guess not. I feel like I wasn't fully informed about all the unpleasant things I'd have to endure post op. I was totally reassured that I'd be back to work in a week, two weeks tops, by the surgeon! Needless to say, I am 4 weeks post op and still not back to work. I'm due back at work on Jan. 3 and I don't feel ready to go back. I'm feeling miserable! I've been nauseous, dizzy, weak, and depressed. All I wanna do is stay in bed because if I get up and walk around I'm feeling dizzy. I hate this feeling! I'm having trouble keeping foods down! I can only eat very small amounts of food and I don't think I'm getting enough Protein. Since I don't seem to be getting enough protein, I'm feeling very nauseous, dizzy, and week. I called my surgeon and he told me to sip hot tea with honey all day and to eat a scoop of Peanut Butter every 2-3 hrs. That's great if the tea and peanut butter wouldn't make me nauseous! I don't know what to do since this is a holiday weekend and the Dr. nor his office will be available until Jan. 3 when I'm supposed to go back to work! Help!
  4. Just wanted to let everyone know that I started to feel better. I increased my liquids and Protein intake and the nausea is almost gone, thank God! I was headed to the ER if I had not started to feel better. I want to thank everyone who took the time to reply to my post. You are most selfless! I'm due to return to work tomorrow so I will keep you guys posted on how that goes! Have a good night everyone!

  9. Just wanna say thanks to everyone who has replied. I know it's difficult to deal with all these new changes going on around you let alone, responding to other people's problems. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
  10. Wow! And you have already lost 41 lbs? It seems the surgery has agreed with you. Good luck!
  11. I have been drinking small amounts of protein drinks but even that makes me nauseous. While I am swallowing it down I say a quick prayer that it will stay down. Thank you all for your suggestions. You are all so kind. Have a great new year and keep me in your prayers.
