Hang in there. My dr mentioned some feel lots of fatigue a few weeks post op. Do you have a nausea med? Maybe call your dr.

The problem is it's not really nausea. It's more like a dumping thing I think. I eat something, it feels like it's sitting ABOVE my stomach and not going in, and then I need to be sick very quickly. I start back at work today too so I'm concerned about it all.

Hope return to work goes ok. Zofran is supposed to help with nausea and vomiting. May not be what you need, but see what dr says.

What are you hating? Protein shakes? Do you ever have home made broth? I hate it, a few days after surgery we drove to the beach and all the food that was being cooked smelled delicious. Just breathing it in felt good. The girls that I was with met at a restaurant that evening and I didn't go because smelling and seeing food was too much for me. I feel I could still eat. I was sleeved 1/10, started all Vitamins, Calcium, Biotin yesterday, and Protein drinks yesterday. Today I added no sugar Protein pudding, and Jello. I made homemade bone beef broth in crockpot (8 hours) yesterday, it is so satisfying and tastes sooooo good. You may want to try with chicken bones since meat might be too much for you. It is very good and full of Vitamins, make sure you strain it.

@@Ginsin007 Even now, with the food not staying down super well, I feel like I could eat. My friend's husband was sleeved in June of last year and he told me that he didn't really start feeling full until a month or so out from surgery when he could eat solid food again...that all of the liquids and semi-solids didn't leave him feeling the same way ever. He's lost a lot of weight and is still losing so I'm not as worried as I was before talking to him. OMG, that Protein pudding tastes gross, but it goes down easy at least! I'm missing veggies and salads of all things. My doctor is pretty progressive and lets me eat more solids than a lot of people who are only 2 weeks out gets, but he said if it doesn't sit well, dial it back for a bit and I'm trying that today.

Good luck to all of us and may we all reach goal weight in a reasonable amount of time!

Gross?? :D I have been using Protein shakes, puddings, jellos, Cereal as needed for over 20 yrs. I am so used to them that it was such a welcome to eat them yesterday. I am sitting here eating a Health Wise Gelatin right now. I figure we could eat Jello, this has the Protein and it's a tad better for body. The one thing I did hate was LiquaCel. I had one (I have a supply of course) yesterday and DAMN it was so funky sweet. Never knew what too sweet was until that. I hated people who would something was too sweet cuz I could down maple Syrup straight up. The LiquaCell was gag sweet.....so bizarre cuz I loved them before surgery.

Hi all! Today marks exactly one week since I had surgery! The ups and downs: ups are I have lost 9 pounds since surgery????(some reason I thought it would be more- being ungrateful I guess), I have been cleared to eat yogurt, applesauce and Jello for taste????. The downs are: it takes all day to drink my Protein Shakes and Water and sometimes I still can't, I literally have to take breaks in between each bite and sip or a horrible gas bubble lodges in my chest????, I get lightheaded and weak sometimes(doctor said my blood pressure could have dropped too low or I might be dehydrated).

That's just a few things. Another cool thing is he said I might be off my bp meds real soon!!!! My bp was in "normal" range at my week followup!!! I haven't had a normal numbers in 9 years!!!!!! This is gonna be a life altering journey????

I went back to a simpler diet yesterday and managed to keep all my food down. I don't think I am getting enough fluids but I am trying. Clear Liquids kind of hurt going down making it harder. Work sucks but that's work, not the surgery;) It's hard to go back to pudding/cottage cheese and cream Soups when I had graduated to wet solids. I'm missing them already!

So jealous! I had mine last week on 1/10, I was hungry (still am) two-three days later. We went on a tour along the beaches, and just couldn't suck in enough of the seafood that was grilling along the little restaurants. I was not alone, all the girls with me were the same. We'd joke with one's hubby because he'd eat everywhere. We wanted to lick his Clamato :D

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
