Hi again ;)
So the nausea can be from lots of things but pre-op it's probably a regular old bug- or it's drops in blood glucose-
Post-op- nausea can commonly be from too much volume in your pouch at once- including water- gulping Water or eating too much volume post-op can make anyone nauseous-
The caffeine thing isn't just because of dehydration- that's a big part but also- the caffeine starts a whole mini fight or flight reaction in your body- you release adrenaline and cortisol because it's a stimulant and this triggers hunger- that's the big reason we have to avoid it-
I know it sucks- this cold turkey thing could definitely be the reason for your nausea, cold sweats and headache- but the best way to get through it is to just get through it- don't do the coffee at all- no caffeine- I know how hard it is- I had to do it too- but it will be worth it- the withdrawal from caffeine can take a few days but then it's smooth sailing- no more headaches or shaking/ sweating- SF popsicles will help- so will jello- just mix it all up- and try different shakes until you find the ones that you like- Bariatric Advantage is good but my faves are Premiere Protein and Unjury- Unjury has really good chicken Soup flavor/broth kind of stuff that gives you a break from the sweet shakes too-
This will pass- like you said- you've come so far! Keep it up- I think the pre-op is actually harder than the post-op diet- it WILL get better-
Here's a good quote for you- I seem to have a bunch today [emoji12]
"When you feel like giving up, remember why you started in the first place"
That one got me through NP school- keep it on an index card and laminate it- then keep it in your purse or back pocket :)
Hope this helps!

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through these challenging moments. It'll get better. I know how frustrating it can be just drinking Protein Shakes. I'm on a pre op meal plan and loving it[emoji4]. My health plan does not put us on the liquor diet prior to surgery. We eat real food that's high in Protein and low carbs. This is preparing us to eat for life and the weight is dropping. You will do great.

Water is difficult to drink post-op, so try the Great Value drink mixes from Walmart, which are the same as Crystal Lite for so much less money. I also had the problem of hurling, so I tried the EAS 100 whey SF Protein Powder & mixed it w H2O & then tried drinking 4 ounces in a 1/2 he & built up to 8 ounces an hr. Sorry you're having trouble & I know it's going to get better. In addition, I took the compasine my surgeon prescribed until the nausea receded.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
