Having a rough day today. All these chewable vitamins are making me sick. I feel like everything I can eat is mostly sweet and then all the Protein waters are sweet. My stomach is upset and I am feeling weak and shaky. I have so much to get done and don't feel like doing any of it. Can anyone relate?

If you just had surgery in the past week, that might happen. That happened to me for the first few days. Everything was so sweet and just made me feel sick. Do you have nausea meds? I used those to make sure I could get my protein in. The sweetness should stop in a few days.

I feel the same exact way. I am so sick of these Protein drinks and its only day 7. I'm starting full liquids tomorrow and need some real inspiration on what to eat that isn't going to leabe me lightheaded and shaky all day!

Not sure what phase you're in but you can get some clear Protein Powder and put it in applesauce. That helps me get it down. Somebody suggested putting it in potato Soup.< /p>

Thanks everyone it's good to know this is all normal. Tomorrow I am 10 days out from surgery. I might have to switch to easier Vitamins to take. Today I squeezed lemon juice in regular Water and that helped to get the sweet taste out of my mouth. Yay!!

I was sleeved on the 12th. I've lost 16 lbs since surgery. 1st week was really tough, but now I feel better every day. I'm starting the puréed stage. I'm scared to try anything because I have trouble getting Protein Shakes down...especially the thicker ones. I've been getting my Protein in every day, but I can never reach my Fluid goal. It's tough because I feel like I'm drinking ALL DAY!!!

Hello! I had my sleeve done on the 11th and I just wanted to see how others were doing so far.

Best wishes to all!

Hi there! Sleeved 2/11. Saw Dr yesterday and down 14 lbs since surgery and 77 total ... finally under 300 for first time in years. Definite learning curve regarding Fluid intake and food amounts. I instituted a fluid/food/shake schedule that I'm finding helps me a lot. Journaling helps me and my NUT see everything I'm consuming. Feeling pretty good so far, looking forward to moving from pureed foods to soft/mushy foods next week.

Sleeved 2/25. So far I feel pretty good. I'm pretty much off pain meds and getting out a bit. Today, I have been fighting diareha, presumably because I have been taking a stool softener since day 1. I'm tired, and I haven't been tracking my Water intake. Today, I switched from Clear Liquids to broth and shakes. I had three so far (7;00pm) and I'll have one more. I was also able to get about a cup of strained chicken Soup down. From what I am reading, I'd say I'm doing very well.

I hope everyone is well

Cheers

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
