  1. I mean I was given 6 months of nutrition classes prior to surgery as required by insurance but my only instructions for questions after surgery are to reach out to my surgeons office ?‍♀️
  2. Thank you ❤️ yeah I am very much dehydrated. A couple days ago I took a laxative even though I'm not supposed to and that absolutely wrecked me yesterday. My pee is dark but I don't really have anywhere I can go for fluids besides the ER which I'd really rather not do. I emailed a local spa type place that has some kind of IV service but they never replied. I just went to the ER last Tuesday for fluids and to try and resolve ongoing constipation issues. I guess I just have to keep trying stuff and eventually I'll get some protein in me . . Oops I meant to quote @Arabesque
  3. Ohh!! That makes sense lol. I have the dissolving tablets of zofran but the taste is horrific. I wonder if something is wrong with me everything is so gross ???
  4. Why Zoloft? I'm already on wellbutrin, prozac, and anafranil.
  5. I don't have a dietician but I think I'm gonna see if I can find one
  6. I know it's early, only 3 weeks after my bypass. But it's just been one struggle after another. I was increasing my ability to eat and drink for a little while, but I seem to be going backwards now. I can barely force myself to consume maybe 25oz of liquid and 4 bites of food a day. But I can't stand any of the protein I've tried. I found one shake that's okay but I can only tolerate about half of it and not every day. If I have a shake or half a yogurt, I can't eat for the rest of the day at all. I feel sick all the time. Nauseous, dizzy, lightheaded, weak. I use a transdermal multivitamin patch approved by my surgeon. I'm having big regrets. I know it will probably get better later but I feel like it won't ever get better if I'm only consuming water and a couple bites of food (usually yogurt, well chewed soft meat, or sugar free ice cream). I have my 1 month follow up next week. Doc is already mad I'm haven't found a way to meet my protein goals. I'm trying so hard it but it's so uncomfortable to eat drink, even water. I haven't been vomiting so I don't think there's any real problems but I can't survive like this.
