I've been on soft foods last week, and until Friday did very well.....as of 4 days ago, everything I eat causes pain and nausea.....it starts at 5 a.m. with the Prilosec I take, and everything afterwards....the chewable Vitamin (bariatric fusion), cottage cheese, chicken, fish.....even just the teeniest bite or two...........water, diluted crystal light, and premier Protein drinks are going down fine....any thoughts on what's going on? Suggestions?

I sent the PA an email, but I received an automated reply that she's out until next week.....the same day of my appointment....so I'll call the office when it opens, but was wondering if you all had any experience with this. THANKS SO VERY MUCH!!!!!

I have NOT had this experience, and you have done the RIGHT thing by reaching out to your MD!

So, here it is, and I don't like the answer. I was instructed to stop taking prilosec for 3 days, and go back to pureed foods.........Noooooooooooooo!!!!! %^#x^%$%@#$%# and #%$#(*&*&&^%^ to that! :D

The Prilosec can cause neasea and/or my tummy isn't ready for real food....crap.

I'll do as the good doctor tells me.....because not being able to eat stinks.....But no one says I have to be happy about it LOL

Glad you have an answer.....how are you feeling?

after not taking the prilosec today, the constant nausea is gone.....however, even on soft foods I'm still getting a bit nauseous....nothing like it was......one surgeon suggested I go on pureed foods for a while (they think my tummy isn't ready for real food)......my surgeon wants me to go back to full liquids......I thought the pureed suggestion was bad enough LOL This isn't something to mess around with, so I'll do what they say.

That isn't fun! I hope you don't have to go back on liquids. I'm doing better after drinking pedialyte and Water and I'm able to eat now

      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!!
