I would have him attend the support group meetings with you. My husband was always supportive, thankfully, but his attending really help him learn what I would be going through, what I needed to do and what my life would be like post-op.

I was sleeved by Dr. Gohil in Syosset in November. Also the best decision I ever made.

Chewable Vitamins. Sample Protein shakes. You tastes may change after surgery so what you like today you may not like post-op. Ice pops Good luck!

I liked Pantry Selections fruit protein powders. You NEED to get the protein in. It's vital for your major organs, muscles and your hair! If you don't get it in, down the road you'll have severe hair loss. Trust me!

I don't eat any breads and rarely wraps. 1) I find them difficult to get in and 2) they take up the room I need to get my Protein in. Salads I'll eat on occasion (I'm 5 months out and only started abou 2 weeks ago because I save my room for the protein. If I eat 3 oz. of chicken, I don't have room for more than a forkful of veggies.

I take Caltrate Calcium & Vitamin D Chewables 2x a day.

I was lucky; did not have nausea - but my surgeon had me on anti-nausea medicine for about a week which I am sure helped. See if they can give you anything to help with it. Congratulations!

I also had this about 2-3 weeks out. My blood pressure was low so my doctor adjusted my meds. When I mentioned to my surgeon at my post-op visit he said it could have been my BP or dehydration. Since my meds had been adjusted, I have not had the problem; until recently. My physical is Tuesday, so I'll mention it then. I know I am not dehydrated.
