My surgery was May 30th. I also had severe shoulder pain and that has gotten better each day. However, I am having problems with being sick to my stomach also. I haven't eaten much since my surgery. My stomach growls but at the same time I feel sick to my stomach and know if I do eat I will throw up. I have lost 20 lbs since my pre-diet and 1 week post diet. I am having a hard time getting through this liquid stage. I am a little depressed because it is my birthday today and I cannot eat. However, today is day 6 of my post-op and I feel so much better today. I took a pepcid yesterday and that seemed to help with the nausea. I am already looking forward to mushy food. Hang in there! Hopefully we will be able to look back soon at this stage and say "it really wasn't that bad". Terri in Michigan

I am feeling a lot of nausea also. I was banded on May 30th. Have had a hard time getting enough liquids and also drinking my protein shakes. Sometimes I just don't eat and I know that is not good. I can here my stomach growl and know I should eat but I feel sick to my stomach. Terri

I am having my surgery done at Harper on May 30th. Who is your doctor?

I am right there with you. Went to the store for one thing and bought $50 worth of junk food. I have eaten so much I feel sick. I start my pre-diet on Friday.

I am a new comer to the website. Start my pre-diet on Friday and surgery is May 30. I am excited but very nervous as well. Hope I get through the next two weeks.
