I'm home now, but battling extreme nausea. I have both Phenergan and Zofran, but neither knock it out. I'm terrified bc I can't eat or drink much yet.

I'm having the same issue. I feel your pain. I am not drinking alot of liquids either, everytime I do I get horrible gas pains, and cramping.

I hope you feel bettter GeauxForIt, I keep reading that it gets better relatively fast. :unsure:

Had my surgery Oct 2/12 and can now handle more solid food. It's weird to never feel hungry. Every week I feel better. Down 37 pounds since started pre-op diet.

My nausea was better today. I'm taking the Phenergan every 4 hours no matter what and it seems to have help in keeping it under control. I also have tried to keep something on my stomach at all times (Crystal Light lemonade has been my saving grace).

Yogurt didn't go over too well, but broth, both chicken and beef, WITH salt and just slightly warm has been great. pudding (sf) eaten really slowly has tasted really good, too.

I hope you feel better!!

Well 6 weeks out and its hard to eat when I am away from home. Anybody experience this? I would sometimes rather just not eat. I have no hunger pains...just my head telling me I should eat. Thought today I left the house with a Protein Bar was so excited had 29 grams of Protein and I tried to eat it for breakfast....tastes like puke. Then went to gas station bought yogurt it was spoiled. It was just a bad day. My nut has me on 3 meals a day no snacking 20 grams of protein first. So if you can't get that you shouldn't eat it. Uggh just frustrated I can't pick up anything and eat. I'm not a cooker I don't like fish or turkey....thanks for letting me complain. And I did come home and have a Protein Shake. I drink the premeire ones and really like those.

My local grocery store has whole pre-cooked chickens. I buy one of those, pull it off the bone and throw it in the Ninja with some low fat mayo, s&p, and a little mayo. Eat it in a tortilla or just by itself.

And I bought cute, little, patterned containers to put it in!

Yeah, I was about to have chicken broth this morning for breakfast... Maybe it's because of that awesome sounding post? Just opted for chocolate shake instead.....

The funny thing is that that idea was "practice" pre-op for my puréed stage...I'm only full liquids for all of next week, too!!!

I, too, am having a chocolate Protein shake for Breakfast. :D

I'm so proud of myself...my daughters bday and party were yesterday and even I though I ended up ALONE in the house with 1/2 a chocolate cake, I took not one crumb!!

I never really even considered it. :D

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
