Surprisingly they didn't give me zofran, which I asked for in the ER. The doctor didn't give me any nausea medicine pre or post op scripts. Only during my hospital stay. During my ER visit I was given ondansetron, hasn't helped much. I'm 5 weeks post op btw

It started about 3 weeks out. Eating makes me nauseated, especially meat. Everything I've eaten thus far sits fine, but actually eating it is the problem. Nothing smells good, texture makes me gag, and thinking about eating makes me sick. The only thing that I can think about is bread and nuts. Is this normal? All the foods I would enjoy I can't because I get so nauseated. Like I said everything sits fine when it finally goes down but I really just force it down. I'm on nausea pills but nothing has changed. Anyone else dealt with this? (And no I haven't had bread [emoji23])

[emoji23] hopefully my facial expression said it for me! The stuff people say.... I also had plenty of people suggest exercise as if I wasn't already doing it. They automatically think you don't exercise. Or that after surgery it's just sunshine and rainbows and I lose all the weight just by sitting and eating. People should really do research.

My taste buds and food likes/dislikes have changed. I can't stand any type of minced meat -shiver- smells have changed as well. It's been difficult finding foods that I still like. But other people have said after a while you go back to "normal". I shall see [emoji4]

Lol one person told me "you're not small, but you're not big BIG, so you don't need it." [emoji848] thanks...... that was just so helpful and well thought out

Today I had 3 almonds, and they really helped with my nausea. I'm 1 month and 1 week out and they didn't bother me. My guide doesn't say anything about nuts and I'm on regular foods. What's your thoughts. I would love some pistachios [emoji7]

Wow I'm only going like twice and my urine is darker than normal. I'm trying to get more water in. I'm 3.5 weeks post op, so between the nausea and sleeping from feeling tired and weak... it's work

I'm in my 4th week post op and I've only lost 23 lbs but I'm down 46lbs from my highest weight.

Does it taste like pancakes? And when can you start having them?

Oh okay! I was July 19th. What's your personal goal? I'm 5'8 and I'm reaching for 160-155

Congrats! When did you get surgery?

I'm on puréed. I have different things that I've tried. I definitely don't like what I use to. Before I had no issues with mash potatoes, now I can't stand them lol I've had ricotta bake, curried salmon, refried beans. Tuna, chicken and everything goes down just fine without bothering my sleeve

So after surgery I had an issue with protein shakes, I become very nauseated from taking a sip. I've tried different brands, even the isopure clear ones. They also leave clumps in my throats and on my tongue that I have to scrape off. No other drinks cause that. I had no problem drinking them before surgery... actually I was drinking them before my pre-op diet. I just had refried beans and cheese for lunch.

I'm regularly weak and tired. Cleaning makes me very tired and I get dizzy and weak knees sometimes. I'm 3 weeks post op, and I can't drink protein shakes (my doctor knows). I'm trying to eat my protein but I don't really like my food choices and I've become resentful of my choice to have surgery ( I try to focus on the results). With that being said my desire to eat has decreased from lack of like and interest in my food options. I just feel myself getting really upset for making this choice. I don't know what to do....anyone felt the same way?

Yum I really want one with cheese lettuce and avocado [emoji7]
