Need some help/advice

I'm one month out and I feel nauseous 80% of the time. Nothing sounds good and I really don't want to eat, ever. I force myself to eat but it's typically a Protein bar, and even then I can barely finish 1/2. I still drink most of my Protein, and am getting usually 70 grams a day, however, I only get about 300 ish calories sometimes up to 450.

It's not the food that makes me feel sick, it's just all the time. I actually hate having to eat bcs i never feel hungry and always feel sick. . It's quite miserable. Anyone experience this? Does it go away?

I will just be starting mushies at 21 days. So a month out will likely not be eating a Protein bar. Can you get some more calories/nutrients through Soups or juice? That is making all the difference in the world for me right now one week post-op. Also, I take Zofran three times per day for nausea. Going to ask them for a refill tomorrow. Not sure how long sleevers with hiatal hernia repairs are typically on the anti-nausea meds. I am a week out hitting 450 calories with three Protein shakes a day.

I am one week post op. liquids hurt on the way down almost all of the time (even sips of water), and I get sudden pains in the centre of my chest going through to my back several times a day. Trying hard not to regret having WLS ???? A week ago I was pain free. "Why did I do this to myself?" I keep asking. Really I had the surgery for my family, so I have more chance of being around while my kids grow up. My one goal in life is to see them safely to adulthood. But my uncle has just been diagnosed with a fairly rare genetic heart disorder, and my mum is being tested for it right now. If she is positive I will need to be tested, as will my kids. I may not live a long life anyway even if the sleeve is a success for me. It makes me question all my decisions. And on the weekend my eldest son's classmate was killed in a car accident (only eleven, and on her way to achieving some great things). It is a sad time here at the moment and makes me worry about everything.????

Talk with your doctor about it and see if he has some suggestions. At one month out I was allowed to eat some crackers and that helped me. I was sick of all the sweet tasting Protein and the crackers were a nice crunchy treat. Maybe you could try some soft cheeses instead of the Protein Bars and see if that helps. Good luck and let us know how you're doing in the future.

I had my sleeve and hiatal hernia repair on 8/12. Just stopped nausea meds. Nausea can also be the stomach's way of saying it hurts. So if nausea is worse after eating then was probably too much.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
