I'm almost 4 weeks post. I'm starting to not feel like myself. I was doing good til a couple days ago. My stomach is not feeling it best. Doesn't like my Protein shakes, Premier Protein, I can't keep anything down. I can only take in 2-3 small bites of anything. That 4th bite, and I'll be hugging the toilet. I feel bad to the point of not being able to walk or exercise. Water is starting to have a nasty taste. I've tried the MIO enhancers and I can't do it. Don't know what else to do. Please advice Please

I suggest calling your Dr to discuss. It's not unusual to only eat 2-3 small bites - especially depending on what you're eating. Are you measuring food and taking tiny bites, chewing and eating very slow? If you aren't able to keep liquids down - you need to call your surgeon.

3 to 4 bites is about normal at your stage. For me it was more like 2. No more than 1/4 cup and many times could not finish it or it would put me over the edge.

Try eating slower and smaller bites. That will give your brain time to catch up with your tummy.

If that don't work, call your doctor you might have something more going on.

Thank you D. I love the encouragement not just for me but others you talk to. You are very encouraging. Thank you so very much.

I didn't like the Premier Protein shake but you will get use to it. Drink it really cold, I put mine in the freezer or mix it with almond milk. The Premier Protein Shake will pull the weight off more quicker.

The bananas and cream premier Protein shake is really good. I also bought some sugar free caramel syrup (in the coffee isle) and some PB2 Peanut Butter powder and add either of those to my shakes and it enhances the flavor. Maybe that would help make them more tolerable.

I know what you mean Ladystorm. Ive been in the bed for about 2 days now.

As soon as you are able to take Vitamins, buy the Bariatric Advantage chewable Multivitamins, they have everything you need in them. Don't buy that store bought junk.

If you are hanging out in the bed, that is the worst thing you can do. You need to get up and start drinking fluids. You guys will feel better.

You are likely tired, dizzy and nauseous and it all steps from not enough fluids and Protein. It's a good way to end up back in the hospital.....

Try drinking your Water at room temperature and your protein icy cold. They do go down better that way.

I hope you get better soon.

It's my sciatica
