I'm so sorry to hear your having such a hard time.  Hopefully your pouch is just a bit swollen and needs a few more days to settle into the new you!  I hope your Dr has some encouraging words for you.  Good Luck!

That sucks! I am so sorry you aren't feeling well.  Have you tried a clear protein drink like Isopure.  The 20 oz bottle has 40 grams of protein. Maybe if you nursed that all day you might get in a bit more.  If you don't like the taste, throw some crystal lite in it.  Good luck!

It sounds like you are really having a rough time.  Did your doctor give you any post op prescriptions for the nausea?  I think I've got three.  I'm only using the soluable previcid and I haven't had any problems.  I hope you get to feeling better soon.  Let us know how you're doing.

You'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be.

My 5th day out I woke up feeling terrible.  I was sick at my stomach and dizzy.  I managed to get a protein shake down during the breakfast hours and after church I made myself sip another 20 grams of protein.   I finally felt better later that afternoon.  

Keep sipping protein.  Your body is healing but is also weak for lack of calories and protein.  Can you tolerate Isopure with a little crystal light added to it?

Keep sipping . ..   it will get better.  Sorry you are feeling bad.
