  4. Tek, Thank you for the very thoughtful response! Murder is a definite possibility. Anything to avoid this sensory overload. ? I *have* spoken to my team. Their response was similar. They are pushing me to increase liquid intake as well as food intake. At this point, they would like me between 800 and 1000 calories a day. That just doesn't seem possible with the way I'm feeling. I am also on 20mg of Omeprazole daily. I find it a little hard to get my point across because they do not feel what I am feeling. I guess this is where I take the wonderful advice to "eat to plan." That may involve me holding my breath when I open the fridge but I refuse to fail with this wonderful tool I've been given.
  5. Hi friends! This is my first time posting/asking a question. I am 8 weeks post VSG surgery and I'm struggling with food. I know this isn't a new story and everyone struggles in some way. I find myself struggling to force myself to eat. I don't feel hunger (that I know of) yet I feel nauseous when I *do* eat and nauseous when I *do not* eat. I think my sense of smell is heightened as well so any cooking that I have to do or even opening up the refrigerator is causing a nauseous sensation as well. Has anyone experienced this? What did you do to overcome this? Thankfully I'm still losing but I know the loss won't continue if I can't get my metabolism kick started. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
