why are you having trouble eating that much protein pre op?

I had my surgery on Nov. 23, 2015, and at about 1 1/2 weeks out, I started to have nausea which kept me from eating, very much like you. It was the worst feeling I'd ever felt, and I was really discouraged and full of regret for having had the surgery. After several days of suffering, I called my doctor who had prescribed compazine, an anti-nausea drug, before I'd even had my surgery (apparently, nausea is quite common after bariatric surgery). The compazine was a life-saver. I was finally able to eat pureed foods, then soft foods. About 10 days later, I stopped taking the compazine to see how I felt, and I felt fine - no nausea. I was lucky. The nurse told me that some patients can feel nausea for several months. I've had nausea a couple of times since then, but those times were when I'd eaten something I shouldn't have eaten - like fried foods or sugary foods. 

Many of the people in this group have already had the surgery and are experienced in what works and what doesn't. You're right, everyone is NOT the same, but the foods you're eating are, according to my nutritionist, doctor, nurse, and every bariatric eating website I've visited (ALOT), on the restricted list at this point in your recovery period. The meat, cheese, and veggies are good choices. Maybe try the taco without the shell? And reduced sugar orange juice? I know for me, what to eat and how much is a learning process. Every day is a learning experience. Just know that it does get better with time. 

While I understand your frustration, please know people aren't trying to judge you. Some use the tough love approach, some use a more gentle approach. But know that however the message is delivered, it's meant to help you. I hope you feel better soon. 

I was dehydrated and went to the hospital and got that sorted, I just went back to see my surgeon Monday Bc I can't stomach anything. It all either gave me diarrhea or made me throw up. He said my body has been way too long without enough food and is causing the nausea to try and eat more frequently. I did his week I tried eating twice a day and everything I ate gave me diarrhea or I threw up except a taco or orange juice. He said try and stick with protein but to just get something in. I'm feeling hopeless sometimes Bc I have tried food on the list and food off the list and I am starting to wonder if I'll ever be happy eating again 

I want to vent. I thought the point of all the support groups online and in person was to motivate each other and support everyone. I had my surgery dec 1 and I feel like when I turn to these groups for some advice I get told I shouldn't have had the surgery if I didn't want it or I don't care about myself Bc I don't eat. Since I had the surgery I can't hold anything down. I drink orange juice sometimes and sometimes a taco. And yes I did start trying fast food but Bc I couldn't seem to cook anything that stayed in me. Now I have no fast food that stays in me other than a taco. And yes if I had known how sick I would be after I wouldn't have done it. My days are spent with wearing a nausea patch and I take 6 pills a day to lose the nausea long enough to get something in. But I'm not sabotaging myself I just feel at a loss as to what to try or what to do. Sorry for my long post but I need advice and I need it from objective people. Thanks in advance
