Even thinking about it makes me nauseas. I wake up like 6 times a night because my mouth is so dry. I hate it, I feel so unclean. Has anybody else experienced this ?
I have the same problem.Before surgery I had dry mouth but now after surgery my mouth is really dry especially in the morning when I brush my teeth and take my meds I almost vomit.Also I get really weak when I first get up and now for about 3 or 4 days I’ve got diarrhea and I can’t stand it

2 hours ago, dee0128 said:Hi everyone, I'm still adjusting to VSG surgery and will be one month post op this week. I've been having major sugar cravings since doing the low carb high Protein lifestyle. I've even had slip ups since graduating to phase 2 where I can have soft mushy foods and I've eaten sweets. Does anyone have suggestions for fighting these sugar cravings? I don't want to set myself back after coming this far on this journey. The cravings have only gotten worse since it's almost my time of the month and have been hitting the gym more often. They hit at night when it's time to rest.

I think you can have sugar free sweets like Atkins . They have sugar free m&ms and Peanut Butter cups.Most stores have sugar free pastries.And there is also Protein Bars just read the sugar content

Give it a couple more days and see if you feel better. If you are getting short of breath and feeling faint maybe you should slow down--are you doing too much too soon?
Yeah I might be drinking too fast or something just like right now I’m bloated after having my last Protein Shake

This website is really hard to understand.Sometimes I answer a post that shows up in the forums and respond to it and then I find out it’s a couple years ago.How do you find out what’s new on here?

I'll post frequent updates and all post-op everything here! I have my recliner bed all set up, my Percocet, Keflex, and Celebrex near the "bed". I have given the cats a stern warning about jumping on me. I've done all I can. Wish me luck!
