I was sleeved 11/29 and Im barely eating! Was able to drink a protein shake the other day, it’s not nausea or anything. I’m just NOT hungry and forcing myself to eat just makes me feel sick. I def need more protein and calories. I’m on the puréed stage... can anyone in this stage give me an example of what you eat or ate during this time??

Hi! Yes I do have some anti nausea meds, but am worried I’d be taking them every 6 hours lol. I have isopure protein powder, unflavored. But just thinking of everything else makes me nauseous. 😭

Hey ladies! 7 days out.. the last two days were hell!!! Bother emotional and physical. Extremely nauseous, throwing up, stomach aches. Seems like I am only able to eat ice chips and some sips of water and Powerade. Def not even going to try the protein, just thinking about it makes me gag! I cannot smell any food now or look at it without wanting to puke! And every time I sip my water I feel these spasms in my tummy! EVERY TIME! Incision pain is okay now, only my main one still hurts and is a bit sore. But I can deal with that. I see my surgeon on the 10th for my 2 week follow up and I’m hoping to get some good news. Hope everyone is having a better day! This is all so insane, we made a life changing decision and it’s not easy. But we got this!

Question? Anyone have horrible breath after surgery??? I’m brushing way more than I normally would. Is it lack of water?

Pain was unbearable first few days. I’m on Day 3 and now subsided a bit. Only real pain is on my largest incision. Which is normal, considering what was yanked out of it! Tylenol helps and when I’m ready for bed time I take a stonger med my doctor prescribed. Soon there will be no pain and we can stop taking them. Plus I’ve had this annoying cough, which is killer to my wounds.

You’re right... haha. Sugar free popsicles are the best treat right now. Especially with an irritated throat.

Can I just suck on a vegetable or something!?! Lmao this is unnatural 😂 We’ll survive girls! Glad I found this forum. I’m in some FB groups and some people are rude and judgmental. Well I’ve taken my pain meds and I’m going to try and rest. Hope tomorrow is a pain free day, for all of us. ♥️ goodnight.

I’m so ready for the puréed stage!! I’m not even hungry but I just want something besides water in my mouth lmao

If we could have done it on our own, we would have! It would have been a lot easier. I NEED the restriction. Although I did go through a day of "what the heck did I do", I know I would still be 265 lbs and adding if I didn't do something. Yes you’re right!!! One day at a time. Right now I just want to stop freaking out about my liquid and protein intake.

Same here.. last night I was kicking myself in the behind. Wondering why did I have to go through all of this. Why couldn’t I just eat healthier. But I knew it was not going to change, and this is a tool to help us! Keep your head up. ❤️

Thank you! I’m trying to push through it. I don’t want to keep feeling weak.

Hi ladies. Sleeved 11/29/2018. Currently dealing with the abdominal pain, mainly my right side where my stomach was removed! Nothing seems to help. Feeling weak already as my water and protein are low. Seems like every time I take a sip of my water I immediately burp. I don’t think it means I’m full. I’m chalking it up to gas still in my body. Also my throat hurts and I’ve had some mild coughing. That was due to them placing a breathing tube during surgery. But my anxiety is telling me it’s pneumonia.. help!
