My surgery was Sept 27 and up until this week I have been nauseated almost every meal.
One things that caused mine is that I was not eating slow enough.
There is an app called "Eat Slower", this has helped me a lot. You don't realize how fast you are eating....
Are you eating your Protein first? That is important....Then you should fill up on low starch veggies and then have very little carb.
You should introduce one new food at a time and see how you handle it....See if that helps...if not, I would talk to your Dr. or NUT and see what they say.

Thanks so much. I'm down a total of 48lbs including weight I lost during liquid diet before hand. Now if I could do something about staying hydrated. I wouldn't be so weak and tired.

I don't have any drains either. Just a couple of small holes. They itch but no pain at all. I have plenty of energy as well. I just get a little sleepy around 6pm. For the people with no energy, have you spoken to your doctor about this? Maybe a Vitamin or hydration problem? I am praying for blessings on all the oct bariatric beauties.

Yes My NUT told me to get my fluids all 64oz and eat when I was hungry. I ate every 3 hrs 1/2 cup or more like drank my meals. But I worked myself up to getting it in. It'll happen. it'll be harder if you make your self crazy tryn. These next few weeks every 2-3 hrs try to get something in. But 15-30 mins before quit drinking, then 30 mins after you eat or try don't drink anything that part is important

You are only 4 days out, I was still on Clear Liquids at this point. Don't force yourself, try milk, soymilk, very liquidy foods. The most important thing right now is not to get dehydrated.

Cream of wheat? chicken broth, beef broth, veggie broth. strained cream of chicken, mushroom, broccoli Soup thinned with enriched milk, Jello. I used unflavored Protein powder and added it to all of those things. Yes try enriched milk (milk, powdered milk and protein powder mixed together) same as the double milk posted above. good luck

Then join our family of "teenth" October sleeve babies. We are all so close to our surgery date! We can update each other as we are in and out of the hospital.
