Hi, It's been so helpful reading everyone's posts. I'm about 3 weeks out from surgery and for about the last week or so have been having a very difficult time getting anything but my fluids to stay down. I'm not sure if I've just had enough of my Protein shakes and mentally I cannot stand the thought of another but something isn't working. I was so excited to transition to pureed foods and thought that might fix the problem but I can't get hardly anything down at all. Now I don't even want to. I feel nauseous all the time and I'm on an anti nausea med as well as an acid reducer. Per my nutritionist I'm currently having what she calls a "juice party". Mainly because she thinks that it's all coming down to dehydration. So I'm sipping sipping and sipping some more including protein Water. I see the Doc today and am hoping I've done enough over the weekend to keep me from landing in the hospital for the dehydration thing but feeling so unsettled in my tummy is also making me weepy all the time. I'm supposed to see my counselor tomorrow and I'm doing everything I've been told to do but honestly...I'm so disheartened by how I feel physically that I almost wish I hadn't done this surgery. I hate to say that...my reasons for doing this were medical and I want so to feel better but feeling like this is making me ride an emotional roller coaster that is just insane! Oh please please tell me this gets better...that this unsettled feeling will pass soon. Thanks All! nita

Me!! I'm only 3 weeks out but the pain is managed and it's not like I'm uncomfortable when I lay down. I just get up at the weirdest times and yes it's making me nuts too! I did do a bit better last night and I'm hoping that time at the gym will wear me out enough to start sleeping through. I don't think lack of sleep is helping me cope mentally at all. Let me know if it gets better for you...good luck!!
