Nausea... Don't want to eat!

Between y'day & today, I've been dealing with some nausea... Today is a little worse than y'day. I know I can eat some more. Barely had a half of a chicken breast for dinner and I feel so nauseas. All I want is to just drink. Water. Nothing else. However I still need to get my proteins I'm for the rest of the day.

Aside from that concern, in general I DON'T want to eat... At all... I'm tired of just proteins and in fact I believe that is actually why I'm getting nauseated when due to eat or am eating. I cannot just do proteins drinks bc I don't want to develop a textural issue with food and need my body to 'want' to eat and chew...

Anyone else have this issue? What do you eat for your soft moist proteins to get thru this time?

Fyi: I dislike immensely, Greek Yogurt and ricotta...

Have you tried unflavored protein powder to add to stuff like applesauce or eggs?

No, I haven't bc when I went into gnc, they said 'unflavored' still has a flavor and apparently for being non flavored tastes nasty... If that makes sense.

I think truthfully it's bc I want to incorporate healthy foods like protein Pancakes or whole wheat toast but can't that's maybe making me blah to all the proteins already.

Not true at all. I have unflavored Protein powder from online. I can get the name of it if you want.

I add it to Soup, and ground chicken.

It doesn't add flavor just a little thickness. Add a little at a time. You can get samples at Bariatric Advantage for less than 5$.

Oh by the way... Call your surgeon you could be dehydrated. That can cause severe nausea and food aversion. It happened to me week 3 post op.

I am almost 12 weeks out.

I use Unjury unflavored protein powder in the broth that I drink. It really is unflavored. I've had no issues with it tasting weird.

Thank you @starbuckscoffeegal. I believe you were absolutely right! I kicked up my water and overall fluid in take again and that helped with eating. Enough that I am eating but known can eat more. I tend to get full with ground meat quickly. Weird.

Yea at my two week check up I was extremely dehydrated. I needed 4 liters of IV fluids. It almost put me back in the hospital. That's when doc told me to pinch skin on top of your hand an see how the skin falls. It should go back fast if not you need to just hydrate like crazy till it does. Water an Poweraid Zero (no sugar but get electrolytes)...

I had my surgery in December of 2014. I went thru that stage ...I think when you start eating food as opposed to the Protein shakes your stomach has to become accustomed to eating again. I went thru that but I am 5 months out now and I am nauseous all of the time. It is soooooooooooooo frustrating. I have lost 67 pounds and yes I do feel a lot better. I went from a size 22 to a 10 ....I can not hardly believe I am almost in a single digit size. however I would almost trade the being nauseous to being fat. I am miserable .....anyone else have this?
