I have been feeling nauseous all week and today it is just horrible!! I had to take off work today because I cannot take it. I have called my surgeon and am waiting to hear back. I am sure that I am dehydrated, but would that cause this horrid feeling? I am waiting another hour and then I might just go to my primary care. Any suggestions?? Thanks so much for all the help!!

I am a very picky eater any way... I don't like anything that ever lived under water, or yogurt. I have a very big problem with textures. I am trying to get over this! I really am very picky about eggs also, but have been getting over that. I will try to get some yogurt to try (my son likes it so if I don't it won't go to waste). I think the soup think will work for me, as long as the restaurants have soup in the middle of summer its like 110 degrees here. lol I don't plan on staying in a hotel; I think we will be staying with family so it is just the drive there and back. If nothing else I can order a glass of milk and take in my carnation instant breakfast in. Thanks for all your help!

My dietician said that this diet is more to let my stomach heal; so no chunks. The unsweetened applesauce would work but I am not supposed to eat meat for another 18 days. But that will help for the stage 3 diet. Thank you!!

Congrats to you!! you are very inspiring!! AMEN to all of your list! Keep up the amazing progress! I am 2 weeks post op and moving slowly... thanks so much for sharing!

Sugar-free popsicles and Jell-O saved me. I am not sure if it was the biting and chewing or what... but it made me feel like I was still eating. Just incase you get that have to eat feeling like I did. You can do it!!

So, I am just wondering. I am currently on the stage 2 diet and I have to go on a trip. I am trying to figure out what I can eat when we go out to eat... besides; mashed potatoes and eggs. Please help!! I am only 2 weeks post op on this Friday. I feel good and have lost 30 lbs in 30 days... so I get full fast, just needing some suggestions ) Thanks for you help!!

Thanks for sharing! I am 6 days post op and the thought of what did I do to myself has for sure crossed my mind... This helps me!! Congrats on you success!! I have seriously dry skin patches before surgery so I am sure it will not get better after. have you ever tried utter baum? Like what they use on real cows utters... the kind they have at Wal-Mart does not do it for me. The stuff at the farm supply store is the only thing that I can use to help for my skin. IDK if it will work for you but it is pretty cheap and might be worth a shot. Best of luck to you!

The carnation instant breakfast and milk has 13 grams of protein as long as I can get 5 in a day that is 65 grams. I have been working 12-15 hours everyday at work and am working on Saturday and am on call on Sunday. I am not "hungry" so much as just craving food. the craving usually goes away in a few minutes... my belly has been rumbling lately. I am going to so to Sam's and get some premiere shakes and see what else I can find for my last week of pre-op and first week of post-op. Thanks for the help!

This is my first time ever blogging... I hope I am doing I correctly... (feel free to offer suggestions:) I started the Pre-op liquid diet on Friday. I have been drinking sugar-free carnation instant breakfast 5 times a day and having a sugar-free jello along with lots of water. Today I started craving MEAT! I am not really hungry I just feel like maybe I'm having withdraws from Beef and Pork and I know that I will not be eating much of that for a long time if anytime soon. Any ideas on how to get through cravings?? Also I have only lost 1.5 lbs and this is going on 5 days on this diet. My Dr expects me to lose 9-15 lbs in the 2 week pre-op diet. I hope I can get this weight off in time!

I just did my upper GI today. I will get a surgery date by the end of the week. I am following your VLOG to help me see what to expect and what to buy. I think I could benefit from weekly for a bit... if you have the time. lol Best of luck to you!
