Hey guys, wanted to throw out a update. If you guys remember me i had atypical case. To sum it up, my surgery was July 21st. I battled intense itching all over my body hives on stomach, severe nausea, weakness, vomiting, couldn’t eat or drink. IV infusion was needed. Nurse came to the house I got 2 liters of fluids,vitamins,and nausea meds. It helped get me back to zero. The itching turned out to be an allergic reaction to GERD medication. Still a battle but I feel I am going in a good direction. I physically can’t drink any protein shakes,etc. I just vomit. So i been moving little ahead with diet. I eat flounder with lemon and it was the best. Felt like I was getting nutrients finally. Im eating other things but its def a full time job drinking and eating.Everyday is a challenge but I’m getting there. (This is for the ladies)-Well I got my period few days ago, and it hasn’t been great. It is so heavy, cramps unbearable,I was so worried. Spoke to doctor said it is normal apparently Estrogen is stored in your fat cells and you are losing fat or something like that lol. I usually take Midol for cramps but I haven’t because it has caffeine. But doctor told me just take it but I’m not going down that road. I don’t need caffeine headaches or any upset stomach issues. My weight was 257 now I weigh 215.

Man I totally understand. My surgery was July 21st. I struggle everyday hitting my protein goal. The Nausea for me is just unbearable. Im calling the dr tomorrow looking for a support group of some sort. Also asking for some tips. Everyday I struggle I try and be so tough but I naturally have a weak stomach as it is. I know once I get to have normal healthy food Ill be okay but thats not until August 11th. Sometimes I just cry because Im struggling.

Im so glad you’re doing well. I think I was in a lot of pain due to hiatal hernia repair as well as sleeve. I also have allergy to narcotic pain medication. So I also wasn’t on pain medication. I can’t remember last time my stomach has growled. I have no hunger pains. Its odd. I had 3 hours of rest after procedure then I had to start walking. I was so out of it. But at day 5 post op Protein is still a struggle to digest. Im over the liquid protein. I have been pushing it a bit with the walking. But also trying to rest.

You can do this. I know the unknown sucks. Just know one day at a time. Are you having hernia repair as well? Everything will be okay. Sending positive vibes

Hello mu July buddies, had my gastric sleeve surgery was July 21st. I was absolutely sick with nausea the last week of liquid diet prior to surgery. The 21st came and I was happy to just get nausea meds. Surgery went well. I woke up in such gas pain on my chest it hurt so bad. It was rough. Day 1 after surgery super sucked. Then next day was continuing to get worse. So I stayed in hospital another night. By the next day pain in my chest subsided so I was ready to come home but then my blood work came back and my potassium levels were critically low so I had to literally chew potassium pills to bring it up to be discharged. I had to do it twice just to leave the hospital it was so gross. It was like I was chewing white sand. Gaggable really, but I got my levels up and came home. Doing better everyday. But it is definitely a process. My wounds are still sore mostly right side (dr said thats where they pulled out my stomach so pretty tender. Just wanted to give a update. And let people know Im here for questions and support

I thought ketosis flu was more the first week? I am having the sleeve done. I really hope It gets better soon

Hello Everyone, New to posting looking for some support. My surgery is July 21st. On day 8 of pre op full liquid diet. I was just wondering after reading through so many comments and replies I wanted some help and understanding about how I’m feeling today. Well day 8 pre op 11lbs down, I feel absolutely terrible, I wake up full blown headache, bad taste in my mouth, and stomach so nauseous. Its hard for me to just get it together. I feel so terrible. I thought I was supposed to be feeling great by now and used to it but I am definitely not. Harder and harder to sip protein, and taking me eternity to finish one bottle of core power 42g. My stomach feel so gross. Please help me get thru this.. is this normal?
