Hey Traci... Ya know, I started to feel better around my third week and then took a turn for the worse. Everything I ate gave me nausea. (I was only on a liquid diet for 1 week...then soft foods for 1 week....then mush for the next 2 weeks). But amazingly enough....at the very beginning of my fourth week.....I was a whole new person!! Out of nowhere I felt like me again. It was great. Don't give up yet.....I was so afraid that something was wrong with me for weeks because I wasn't getting better and I finally feel like I am going to be ok!!! Hang in there!!! Wendy

one word. dehydration. make sure u r drinking enough liquids. when i was not able to drink all i should have, my body started to go into a breakdown. tired, sore, sleepy, nauseated. so started sipping tha****er girl. ss

GREAT advice SS. I was gonna say the same thing! Cheryl

Tomorrow will be four weeks exactly, and I am all of a sudden doing 100 times better. My third week was hard, because my body ached so bad, and I was feeling really sick all the time. For some reason, I am all of a sudden doing a lot better! My doctor let me have soft foods the second week.....and I think it was a bit too early. You will be glad to get on soft foods. I love making scrambled eggs with tomato and low fat cheese in it! Also, I eat a lot of low-fat cheese as my protein. I just do really well with it, and it is yummy! You will start feeling better soon, hopefully!

i went to my 3wk post op visit on wed and my doc told me that the naseau was coming from not getting enough protein in and that I was not going to get better unless i found a way to get it all in
