I'm 9 days post op from a sleeve. I'm supposed to still be on liquids, but I have experimented with very runny purees like baby food and yogurt and that seems to go down alright. So i don't think my problem is food related. I'll have a day when I feel OK, I even visited friends 2 days ago. Then yesterday I was wretched. Nausea, felt freezing cold and exhausted. No problems with my wounds they are clean and dry, healing nicely. No fever. Just feeling like refried poo. Is this normal? Am I pushing things just to walk 50 yards to a neighbour and have a cup of tea?
Also, I feel hungry and then when I get somethng in front of my face I realize it's not hunger, it's nausea. My diet sheet says I should be aiming for 1500 calories a day. I doubt I even make 500 a day. I've made herbalife shakes with extra protein powder and I can't finish it. Have half, and then have to have the other half at dinner. I used to sink a herbalife shake in minutes and still have room for a banana.
Thanks for any input, I feel kinda lost and confused and I wonder if I feel so seedy because I'm not getting enough calories or protein.
