Hey guys, I'm a month and some change out from my surgery and I've started my selected solids diet with Protein Shakes of course. I have been noticing a pronounced dislike for the texture of food. The smell of food is amazing, but as soon as it hits my mouth, any food, it makes me so nauseous. It's almost repulsive. liquids are fine. Solids- not so much. Has anyone experienced this?

Does anyone else still feel a bit of discomfort? Not 100% normal? My surgery date was 3/13 I moved on to stage 3 however I feel yucky, discomfort, when I eat it's way to heavy and get super gassy, most of the time I don't feel like eating because of this. I fear I may have some regrets about the vgs.

Struggling too. Weak, mood is a bit glum. Also diarrhea. Patience is the key word, something that tests me.

yes!!! alot of fatigue you have to up your Iron

You are swollen still from 1. Just having had major surgery 2. You had tubing in your trachea to assist with your breathing while unconscious. 3.you had an endoscopy tube down your esophagus and into your stomach to help size your sleeve properly 4. You had been NPO since midnight the night before? Your throat might have been as dry as the Kalahari Desert. Even with a lot of lubrication things might have scraped a little going,in and when they were removed. Hey it should rapidly get better day by day, you'll soon be fine and able to smile about this chapter in your journey.

I'm on the liquid diet until the 15th day post op. My list was chicken and turkey broth. Progreso Soup so I can strain it. Sugar less Jello and Popsicles. Tea, Water, crystal light, Vitamin water ZERO. Protein Shakes, and Vitamins.

Oh wow that is impressive. I felt like crap until yesterday. I had surgery in lenox hill hospital, I still get nauseated just not as bad. I haven't weigh in yet, kind of nervous to even look at the numbers I know I'll obsess over it. The Protein Shakes have been heavy on my stomach especially because I'm still not used to 4oz every hour. I try to get my liquid through everything sugar free ice pops, Jello, ice cubes, tea, etc etc.

I’m so happy I’m finally at 160!!!!!!! I have been struggling for quite sometime to get the scale to move.

Sorry you're struggling! Hope you feel better quickly!

I have a bit of a vomiting phobia so I stayed on the anti-nausea meds a bit longer than I needed I suspect - to be safe! Everything is more bearable when you don’t feel like chucking!!
The rest gets better pretty fast. Two weeks out, I was feeling pretty good, going for walks outside, trying flavours of Protein Soup (WAY better than the shakes!)
You’ll get there...

Ugh! I am so sorry you feel lousy. It will get better!! Pain meds, especially on an empty stomach, can cause major nausea. You can ask your md for anti nausea meds-zofran was my best friend during my pregnancy, post c-section and post sleeve. I slept a lot my first two weeks. You will feel better, i promise! Good old homemade chicken broth saved me those two weeks. Sending you lots of love and support! ️
