I am 18 days post op and still having severe nausea. I'm looking for anyone who experienced the same thing. I need help. I am taking the max dosage of Zofran twice a day. Anyone have suggestions? It's not my vitamins. Taking antacid doesn't make a difference. Mainly it's protein drinks that make me the most ill. Talking or thinking about a protein shake can make me dry heave. It comes on fast like morning sickness but I am definitely not pregnant.

Christy- good luck with your wait. My surgeon is in Dallas and it suppose to be amazing. His name is Dr. Victor Gonzalez. His patient coordinator Renee is awesome.

I am new to this thread. I am having surgery on the 23rd. I am 4 days in on my pre-op diet. I live in Keller and I am 37 years old. I started a private FB page for January sleevers but having local support would also be great. Biggest thing I am struggling with (besides the liquid diet) is where to find good protein drinks and vitamins and which ones to buy. I am waiting on a tub of Nectar's roadside lemonade. Today I tried Isopure coconut and it was the worst thing ever!

I am on day 3 day. First two days were difficult. I am hoping today I round a corner and it gets easier. The scale is moving (in the right direction) so that is encouraging. I have been having 2-3 MaxPro protein drinks during the day, 1-2 servings of low sodium chicken broth and another protein drink for dinner but I add frozen strawberries and pineapples. My dietician recommended the Nectar brand protein drinks. They have a lemonade flavor and a flavorless that can be added to anything.

I think we have to be friends on FB in order for me to add someone to a group. If you, or anyone else, is interested just pm me your name and I will friend you on FB and then add you to the group.

I have a good friend who had a sleeve 18mos ago. People who met in here created a private Facebook page. I've been reading and asking questions there for the past 7 months or so. But now I really need to be talking to people who are at my same stage. Has anyone considered creating. FB group page? It's private, requires an invitation and it a lot better format that in here. Just a thought.

I have a surgery set for Jan 23rd. Being it's the new year I decided to start my pre-op yesterday on the 2nd. I just "joined" this site looking for encouragement from people going through the same things at the same time. I am excited to see/experience what this year will bring.
