I have been reading all these posts with great interest. I was totally supported during the initial post op few weeks when I felt horrible! I had surgery on the 18th of February and for about 3 weeks- I was not myself. in the ER twice for dehydration and UTI. then- like a fog clearing- I gradually and more gradually felt better. I am now 4 months out and have lost 45 pounds. I am 60 years old this coming November and am so happy I finally chose to have this procedure. I feel 100 times better-- more energy; less depressed ; no more heartburn or stress incontinence. I am a mother baby nurse on a very busy unit and we run all day! Protein Bars, yogurt and turkey jerky are my go to foods. I am thrilled that I can eat whatever I want but am choosing much healthier options-- the other stuff just isn't as appealing anymore. can't fit in much exercise yet but know I need to . I encourage you all and appreciate the thoughtfulness you put into your words- it means a lot-- whatever stage we are in. Joanne northern California

One month out and still struggling a bit. Was very nauseated and had to have one trip to the ER for IV fluids and anti nausea meds. Now take a zofran every day which helps some. Get really nauseated after a few sips of protein shakes. Tried premier protein, muscle milk, unjury Need to find something that I can tolerate. Working on water intake. When working, it is hard to squeeze that in. Also very constipated. I keep looking forward to things improving - any tips on when & how that will happen? Inspired by all the sharing here. Thanks

I am 3 1/2 weeks Fromm sleeve surgery. I take one or two sips of anything and feel so nauseated. I try to get in my water and protein but I am really not able to. MD said it was normal & that the dehydration makes me nauseous. Any suggestions?

I had my VSG with dr zare but went to el camino hospital. 3 weeks out tomorrow. Still a bit tired and nauseated but back to work & feeling ok. How are you doing? How was good Sam ?

I am one week out and also was surprised by the level of discomfort I feel especially when bending to pick things up. I t does get better each day I am having a hard time getting my protein in. Anyone have any suggestions?
