Anyone having surgery in Oct ?

I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

I had a nasty taste in my mouth from about 3 days after surgery until I got moved to puréed foods on Monday. It has now gone away completely. It really made it hard to down those protein shakes and I even went a whole day without protein because I was so sick. I was drinking Premeir shakes - which were fine before surgery, but switched over to unjury unflavored powder and mixed it in my soups. That got me through until I could try different puréed foods. Hopefully you can find some alternate ways to get around that sick feeling so you won't end up in the hospital. At my 2 week post op my doctor told me that bad smell and taste would go away. Two days later it is gone.

I agree with the other posters, though....it sure wouldn't hurt to call the office if you can't get anything down. Could get sick pretty quickly.

I called the doctor he was not in nor was my advocate. I'm going to the hospital now the nausea is getting worse and I'm feeling weak.

I'm 8 days post op I was progressed to full liquids. I lost 14 lb since surgery. I know it's completley irrational i am worried about the calories I'm taking in from full liquids. I've tried a yogurt cream of wheat and butternut squash soup as that is allowed. In my head I don't want to eat them because I'm afraid I won't lose weight. It's crazy cause I know I need new nutrition. It doesn't help that I have no appetite

So post op appt went well. 22lbs down and advanced my diet. The pain and lump is bruising under the skin. She told me depending on the amount of manipulation can cause more pain. My skin is discolor end in that area.

I'm 2 weeks post op and I feel sick to my stomach. I don't want to eat or drink anything and I have a nasty taste in my mouth. What could be wrong? I was fine last week. Getting scared now.

could you be hitting ketosis post-surgery as opposed to pre-surgery? Sounds like "carb flu", especially with the metallic taste in your mouth…

What is carb-flu? They just hooked me up to a IV and have me drinking a drink so the can do a CT scan.

I'm also at a stand still. In fact the scale moved up 3 pounds but I blame it on water that I'm drinking. I know I'm not going over my 600 calorie intake, do not sure what is going. I'm 3 weeks out since surgery and at 13 lost.

Thank you

Think I'm getting crabby too. I'm also back to taking a laxative, which I don't understand. Everything was working fine until last week. I also can't seem to get full. I'm a hot mess. Lol

I'm the opposite. My extreme diarrhea and dehydration may be from lactose intolerance. Was anyone told to stop dairy? Most protein is milk based.

Trader joes has one 30g of protein per serving they have unflavored and vanilla. It is soy based
