 I'm just curious if others are having the same hard time that I am or it's just me?  lol  I know I can't "compare" but it would be nice to get some other perspectives.

I'm nauseaus most of the time.  

Thinking about eating anything / drinking protein shakes makes me ill

water, crystal light, tea aren't a problem at all

I'm seriously constipated 99% of the time.  Considering I'm hardly eating, this is odd!  But when I DO go, I GO, lol  (sorry)

I really hope this passes because I honestly couldn't live like this, it's awful.  

(and before anyone asks... YES I'm following dr's program , and yes I told him my concerns on Friday, he said it will pass... it's just my body adjusting )

I am so glad I came here,  tomorrow will be one week since my RNY.  I felt great the first 2 days, but now feel the same as you were (I hope not still) feeling.  I have little to no appetite, nausea present most of the time. I am struggling to get in the required 62 ozs. of fluid.  I am concentrating on getting down the New Whey 42gms liquid protein.  I mix the 3.5 ozs in 1oz of water and sip, sip, sip. 

I have no desire to eat cream soups, or farina even though I can.  Did try some low fat yogurt today, I used to love it before the surgery, but, today I could barely get it down. 

Hope you are feeling better.

I am so glad to have this forum...  I had surgery on 9/15.  I cannot do these protein shakes, or any of the other stuff.  I am constantly thirsty and I also cannot seem to choke down the horrible vitamins.  I am nauseated all the time too and have horrible gas when I do manage to eat something. 

I am only posting a very brief reply for now, because I am leaving to go to my two week follow up at Dr. Kuhn's office in 15 minutes!

I will post more later.

 Teri, how did the Dr visit go?

I hear you on the shakes and I haven't been drinking mine either, just the THOUGHT makes me ill.  I know I HAVE to, I'm just trying to work myself into it, blech.

You're taking vitamins already?  I started on my 2 weeks so yeah, and those are just the chewable ones.  Although I did order liquid which I might try, to get a higher amt of vitamins in me.  I'm so weak.

Let us know how it went, k?
