Foam is very natural its because your stomach doesn't really have a lot of food to come back up. There's really nothing there.

I meant there's really nothing in your stomach. Not that you having the foamies isn't a big deal.

Visited with him on Friday and he said its been only 3 wks and it will go away. Because of this I have a follow up appt with him in 2 wks. The thought of food makes me nauseous and I never thought that would happen in a million years.

I would suggest calling him again and ask him for meds to help with the nausea. You have to eat and you need to drink.

It does ease up. I had this a LOT the first few months. Not so much now.

My whole first month everything smelled strange and tasted bad. Even if I found something I could eat I could only eat it a couple times before it turned my stomach. Soups were easiest to eat so I added unflavored Protein to them. Soups like french onion, seafood bisque, clam chowder (I filtered out the clams, they bothered me at that time), broccoli cheese, and pea Soup (still my favorite). I could manage Protein shakes and yogurt, too but I got thoroughly sick of sweet things pretty quick. Hot herbal teas were good too. Tastes and smells will get better. Hope you feel better soon!

Thx everyone. Terry I'm going to try the Soups. Only reason I haven't so far was the carbs/sugar contents.

Cream Soups were recommended during the full liquid stage. You can't really eat much at three weeks, I was eating around 1/4 - 1/3 cup at that time. It's not really enough for the small amount of carbs or sugar to be a problem. Someone mentioned here somewhere that Protein can offset the effects of sugar and/or carbs? If so, maybe it helped that I added Protein powder?

Introduce new foods with care. We are all different - what didn't bother me, just might bother you. Good luck! :-)

I've been having this problem too but thank goodness something comes up because the pain is worse. I am having the exact issues Terry described (I am 2 weeks post op) and am to the point that I regret doing this and I'm looking into reversing it.

For Protein my doc suggested Ensure clear. I have some blueberry pomegranate that was tolerable yesterday and actually gave me a little energy because I have none.

Partly

It is normal to have regrets at your stage. I cried for several weeks and thought I must have been crazy to do this to myself - all I want is a piece of pizza!

If you are still having issues make sure you talk with your doc and let them know what is going on.

Where in Texas are you. I am in DFW!

      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!!
