Weird Pre-Op Symptom - Already Feel Banded!

Does anyone else have this?

I have trouble swallowing first thing in the morning.

I'm on the pre-op diet (two shakes and a Lean Cuisine) and eating the whole Lean Cuisine makes me feel sick.

I have head hunger, but surprisingly little stomach hunger.

If I eat too fast or take large bites, my stomach hurts and I get incredibly nauseous.

I had such bad gas last night, I felt like I would explode! LOL. Never had it that bad before. Needed to sort of -- arrange myself -- if you know what I mean :unsure: to allow the air to escape.

I'm sure it's all a big mind-freak -- I'm feeling "sympatico" to my own future self, but it's super weird...

Any other weirdos out there experiencing the same thing? :rolleyes:

    the shakes gave me a lot of gas. you might be experiencing that too. esp in the morning when you haven't moved around a lot.

    That's what I figure it is -- me thinking so much about the surgery, and reading so much about it, I've developed the symptoms!

The pre-op diet really was rough, but cant say I had the same issues.

Could just be a tummy bug or something.....unless a surgeon snuck into the house and banded me up while I was sleeping!

I too am on the pre op diet. I am not having issues with swallowing but I do find my self feeling sick after I eat even if its a small healthy meal. I cant say whats going on but I can say I over think everything and I am constantly thinking about after the surgery how to eat and all that I think it mental for me my brain is making me feel the way I do. Wishing you the best of luck

I was feeling nauseous throughout the whole pre op diet! I didn't get to eat anything, strictly liquid diet, but boy oh boy did it make me queasy, gassy, and dizzy.

Well, I'm not HAPPY for you, but glad I'm not alone! :-)

Haha I thought maybe I was lactose intolerant? I've never noticed before because I never drank milk, ate yogurt, in excessive amounts until the pre op diet and thats when it all started. But I was very weak from not getting enough nutrition in, I skipped some Protein shakes because they made me so sick and I almost blacked out from showering! Scary experience! I hope it starts to get easier for you soon and that you don't have much longer to go on the pre op diet!
