It really does get better. i know it doesn't seem like it now! I went through it and remember thinking what the heck have I done?? I literally had nothing but Water for 2 weeks because everything made me nauseous!! Someone told me to start with a chicken thigh. I started with a fried chicken thigh from a local fast food place. I was able to eat a couple bites, after removing the breading of course. The next one was easier and it only got better from there!

I am so glad to hear I'm not the only one going through this. I'm 1.5 months post-op. It's gotten a tad bit better in the past week. At least now I can put food in my mouth! It's so hard to get over the mental aspect of food. Now that I can put food in my mouth again I find myself taking a plate and trying to put as much on it as I did before. 3 bites later and I'm done. I still rely on my protein shakes (even those turned me off for a while) to get my protein in. I wonder how I will ever get the protein in daily without the shakes.

Wait a few days or a week and try again. I tried too soon and aggravated things and then had to go to nothing but water until things calmed down again!

Happened to me too! They denied me for no apparent reason. I clearly met all the requirements. Several people from my husbands company had were approved with the exact same insurance coverage! The hardest part was doing the pre-op diet again. Everything happens for a reason. Don't give up.

I am 7 days post-op. I was so worried about getting in all my liquids and protein that i over did it by drinking too much and too fast and had quite a set back! So, don't worry as much and do what you can. I talked to a woman who said it took her a month to be able to get a full protein shake down in one day!
