Horrible taste in my mouth
It’s because you aren’t chewing any food yet. It will get better as you move through the stages & progress to more solid foods.

Nausea
Yes. You can get them in the same isle at the store as the stuff for heartburn. It’s usually in the bottom shelf. They come in chewable or regular.

Headaches
I too had headaches around this time frame. I added some electrolytes (sorta like Gatorade). Helped some. But some days the only way I made it through was with a Norco. I also had a RNY for failed Nissen.

Sleeve to Bypass
The shoulder pain is from the gas that was used to blow up your abdomen during the surgery. Some surgeons are better at getting the gas out then others. My pain lasted for 3 weeks! It was horrible. I used heat & a tens unit. The pain meds didn’t really help.

Dietician Stuff...help me not be a jerk...
Just curious, what sort of things were in the diet pack that you don’t agree with? It sounds like you have been paying attention to your body and know it very well. Share your concerns with your nutritionist & trust that they will listen.

Need advice please
You need way more protein! Right now the protein drinks are counting towards your liquid intake. You should be getting 60-90 mg protein a day! I know It is hard at first but that’s what you should be shooting for. It might take you 1/2 hour to drink that much, just go slow.

Eating at a bar... a new experience.
I get Water just to make the server feel good. They can’t believe someone wouldn’t even want a glass of water with their meal. My daughter and I both Had a RNY this year. I love Going out to eat because we can share a meal. We got a 6oz steak this week at Black Angus. It was the perfect size for us to share.

Extreme Intestinal Cramping
Almost sounds like kidney stones. But you really should see a doctor. If it is an obstruction in your intestines & they rupture it will be a whole lot worse!!!!!
