Are you taking anything for nausea? I was sent home with some phenergan gel to apply to my wrists and it was a life saver!

I was very nauseous for 2 weeks afterwards and then it stopped almost overnight. I only get nauseous now if I eat too fast. Remember your stomach is healing. Take things slowly and sip. I did better having ice cubes and sipping as the ice melted. It gets SO much better. Hang in there.

Try caring temperatures of liquids to see if any difference affects you or try sugar free Popsicle's if they are on your plan.

I hate to sound negative.... 10 months post op and I still very much get nauseous and vomiting... all the darn time. It’s just how it is... I’ve accepted that. I’m sure down the road it’ll go away.

If I concentrate on putting my spoon down and chewing every bite completely, it slows down my eating and I don't get nauseous. This is difficult when eating with others because we all tend to eat quickly.

Thank you ! I was told sip Water and ice chips. It gives me a little relief😔. Starting tomorrow I can start with the Protein Shakes. Also what Soups you think are good. After all the chicken broth etc. I so hate it now . Also the smell of it makes me sick.

I added unflavored Protein to vegetable and Tomato Soup in the beginning. I also added chipotle tabasco to my chicken broth. This added flavor without being spicy. If you can find them, I live on sugar free big sticks, they're better than popsicles. They are plain wrapped in a clear plastic bag usually in the bottom of the freezer section. I have found them at Vons and Stater Brothers. They help me get my fluids in and satisfy any craving.

You make a great point. Although I eat much faster than my boyfriend most the time... I need to just slow down

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
