Just keep your chin up. If you follow your plan, it will come off. For me, it came off really fast at first, then slowed waaaaaaaaaay down, and then before I knew it, I hit goal.
What types of Protein are you trying? I HATED all the shakes and just could not tolerate them. I ate a lot of Carbmaster Yogurt (low on carbs, high on protein) and drank lots of

I forced the clear liquid Isopure down for most of the two weeks. On the last day I just couldn't stand them anymore. Too SWEET! i cheated here and there and found that cottage cheese is my favorite thing and milk and other flavoring mixed with the Protein powder was far more preferable. I was and am still bless not to feel the ravenous hunger I used to feel.
Like everyone says, it will get better with more solid food and more time. Just don't do what I did last night. I was trying to get some more protein down and scarfed just 2 oz of lean hamburger. DON'T DO IT! When you eat to much too fast, your sleeve will send the offending food right back up.
Just stay on your surgeon's ordered phases. It won't be long before this is all behind you. What I seem to be hearing from everybody is that you will be able to eat normal food, just small amounts and S-L-O-W-E-R. Choosing the best lean Proteins will be all you have to do.
You know what I did that seemed to help? Once a day I had a pea sized bite of Peanut Butter. It's just enough to get a good taste in you mouth. Of course we all all different and your milage will vary

It's just a hurdle to get over, it really does get better! Give the acid meds another try, or ask for different. It makes a huge difference on the nausea for some. Also dehydration can cause nausea, so try to focus on getting the fluids in. It's normal to wonder what the heck did I do, a lot of people do have buyers remorse in the very beginning after surgery. You're not alone!! I hope you start feeling better real soon.

So sorry you are feeling so bad...I dont have any great advice for you but I am saying a prayer for and hope in a week or two we will see a post about how much better you feel!

It will get better! A lot of people experience your symptoms from what I've read. The good thing is you have all of us and you are becoming healthier! You will have a longer healthier life because of your decision! Stay strong and remember the goal!

Congrats! You are now sleeved. It sucks to be nauseous and feel hungry all the time. Have you talked to your sureon's office about this. Alot of individuals with bariatric surgery have alot of acid production in their stomach. It is beneficial to take something like a PPI (prilosec etc) with your surgeon's approval. Hope this helps!

Yeah... it's a double-edged whammy--you feel bad and can't take the medicine, and you don't take the medicine and you feel bad. Ick! So sorry you're having trouble.
Definitely call your doc and see if there's another type of medication that you might use. There are lots of different types of PPIs and antinausea meds, so you should be able to find something that will help you.
I could never tolerate the Protein drinks, either. Focus on getting in your water--sips of Water, Gatorade, whatever will stay down. Once you can tolerate the Clear liquids, it will be so much easier to get your protein with full liquids (milk, yogurt, etc.). Hang in there, sweetie, it gets better pretty fast. You're in the worst phase now. We're all pulling for you.

Hang in there... It gets better, I promise! I am 6 weeks out tomorrow and felt yucky for a while in the beginning too... Just try to get your fluids in and keep trying the protein when you can... The fluids are the most important thing and the nausea gets worse when you're not hydrated... We are here for you!
