October Surgery Buddies

[eriirosee 10]

Does anyone have any suggestions for nausea? I had vsg on the 6th and can't seem to get rid of it. Everytime I drink Water I feel like it gets worse and I've never felt that way before!

Did you get a prescription for anything?? If not - call your surgeon. You can try some ginger tea or peppermint tea - but you'll probably need an anti-nausea med for a few weeks.

I have an appointment today and I'm deff gonna let them know. I'll try the tea out. Thank you so much!

@@Camacho 933 Are you required to do a certain type of shake? If so - try adding some sugar free flavorings, PB2, cocoa powder, instant coffee, etc. to your shakes to change up the flavors a little. If you can pick your own shake - try some different kinds or some Isopure (like fruit juice). I'm supposed to have 5 Bariatric Fusion shakes a day but have only been doing 3 the last few days (just don't feel like having something sweet that often). I've been making my own broth and thankfully I'm allowed celery (that's been dinner the last 3 days). Can you have sugar free popsicles or sugar free Jello? Hang in there!!! I figure if we can get through this - post-op should be easier.

Yea i have a certain shake Bariatric Advantage, thanks for the ideas

Thank you but they never really gave me instructions on what to eat during pre op. I'm assuming it's just the 3 shakes period??

I'd call them and get instructions. I am allowed 5 Bariatric fusion shakes and 3 Snacks of broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello and celery. They should have given you clear instructions.

I agree you should have detailed instructions as what to do. I don't think 3 shakes a day is enough for anybody. I can have sf Jello and broth plus a 300 calorie meal with 4 shakes and it's hard for me. Good luck with everything!

I feel like I didn't get much instruction on my pre-op diet either. The NUT went over the things that the shake you chose needs to have, strongly recommended Boost, which is awful and I refuse. My surgeon said that I should be taking in 1,500 calories a day so take the calorie count on the shake and divide 1500 with it and 'bam, that's your diet'. Seems so different than what others are doing. So confusing and strange there isn't more of a standardized diet among bariatric surgeons.
