Me too!! im still a week away from mushy foods but even full liquids make me nauseous . Apparently this is very common , I noticed I felt WAY better after having a BM .

Ok i will have to try it out ! did you stall this early on as well? OH AND i feel nauseous just smelling food . what is wrong with me !

hey holly , I beleive this is mental because when i force myself to take in liquids I dont feel restriction Or pain , everything on the sleeve front feel great . Its just forcing myself to swallow the liquids in my mouth . UGH! I Dont know if you have ever had to try to force yourself to swallow something nasty while your body is rebelling and telling you NOOOOO ITS DISGUSTING - thats pretty much how i feel everytime something liquid enters my mouth . I think its the consistency thing .

Hey everyone, I was sleeved on july 26 . For the first week I was feeling great !! Had no restriction , was drinking LOTS of clear fluids and dropped 10 pounds . Week 2 full liquids started well trying to keep my Protein intake up with shakes was ok smoothies ect . I am now on week 3 still full liquids and I CANT STAND IT ANYMORE ! I cant keep drinking 2 litres (64 ounces) a day - my shakes make me nauseous so i stop drinking them . I havnt lost a pound in the past week - im dehydrated and feel like crap but i just CANT stand the feeling of liquids in my mouth anymore! Anyone Else go through this ? How did you cope ? How are you getting your protein in ? Im worried about my health and I am FORCING myself to drink as much Water as I can but even the thought of Soup or Protein Shakes make me gag , I cant start soft foods until next friday so im really limited on my options . I am considering going to the hospital and getting a IV to Rehydrate myself although i dont know if its that bad yet . Thanks for reading and your responces in advance !

Yeah guys its mostly a vent - I did liquid diet wednesday thursday, cheated friday night w/ chicken breast , salad, rye whiskey and water , saturday was a slight cheat - we went for sushi - so i had miso soup and 4 pieces of sashimi ( raw fish no rice ) but aside from that stuck to it . So on the up side i have been cheating with really good high protein low carb food - just the drinking on friday night was bad . I totally get where your coming from ladies with the last meal sort of thing - Because I know Im not allowed these things it makes me want them. Bahhhh ok well back on the train at least it wasnt a major derailing .

I was supposed to start my pre op diet on wednesday - I did great until i returned home from work yesterday ( i was gone 10 months in a remote area) . Because of being gone we had a welcome back party and everyone wants to do a meal and drinks ! Im struggeling to only do liquids and no booze due to this and also OMG The food available here compared to the slop i have had to choke down for 10 months is making me go crazy with cravings! Im worried about my liver size ! How do i shrink this sucker as fast as possible ?!

has anybody tried this ? It is advertised as having 20 Grams of protein per 575ml bottle with 0 carbs and 0 sugar and 80 calories . sounds a little too good to be true .

Does anyone have a specific list of amounts of Vitamins you should be taking in a day ? from A - Zinc plus extras like Iron , Biotin , ect ?

I am looking for powder vitamins that i can mix into my clear liquid diet - anyone know of a extremly potent multi ? Also looking for the best biotin Vitamin H supplement as i really dont want to lose any hair ( i have extremly thin hair already). I am in Canada so availability might be different than in the states

I could really use some advice - I am going alone what should i pack since i will not have a helper there with me !

I have decided to get the gastric sleeve it is safer with less complications for someone like me than the lap band . good luck on your search

thank you for the welcome! Im getting quite frustrated as i find alot of posts to be from paid coordinators who's doctors can do no wrong .
