I haven't had the same experience but have had a nasty head cold for the last week which has made it really hard for me to function, it just overwhelmed me to be sick on top of recovering from surgery and dealing with my new way of eating.

What are you taking for the allergies?

I'm only 3 weeks post-op and am supposed to still be eating pureed foods but I have to admit I've been cheating and am already eating solid foods. I really enjoy omelets made with Egg Beaters or egg whites. They're good either pureed or "regular." I drink bottled water throughout the day and add Special K2O protein mix to it (the strawberry-kiwi flavor is my favorite).

I still enjoy cooking so I bought several cookbooks aimed at bariatric surgery patients. So far, my favorite is "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery" by Levine and Bontempo-Saray. They claim they designed the recipes to taste good whether pureed or "regular" and, so far, I've found that to be true. I'm making a braised pork tenderloin for supper tonight (and the next several days).

I am almost 3 weeks out and I did great for the first 10 days or so, had even moved on to soft foods (per doc's OK), getting all my fluids and protein in no problem. Then last Tuesday I started getting sick in the afternoons. It has progressively gotten worse so that I am pretty much queasy all the time (to the point that I have difficulty getting my fluids or protein in). My doctor's office suggested Milk of Magnesia at first. That didn't help, just loose bowels AND queasy. They believe that it is allergy drainage that is making me sick and I should just have warm liquids. But I can't do that all day long at work. Phergan doesn't work, Zofran doesn't work. I am now at the point where I am having to force feed myself between dry heaves so I don't go into starvation mode. The doctor has an upper GI scheduled for Friday "just to make sure", but he wasn't too worried about it.

Is anyone else going through this? I just feel so miserable. It is making me so emotional because I am SO tired of feeling awful all the time.

Im down 66 lbs roughly.  lost 37 preop.  My one month postop is on Monday so will get weighed offically then.  My surgery was on 02/15/2010.  Ive slowed down cause not liking the taste of the protein shakes at the moment.  Just been drinking them as only food for a month now.

Glad to hear it!! My date was ALSO Feb 23rd!! Ha ha...I got the band taken out after three years and revised to the RNY...did great, although I didn't wal****il the next day. Spent the first night in the ICU...

Feeling good so far.

This IS the best decision ever!!
