Wow! Do we have the same nutritionist? Mine only says two things to me, "It's gas from the anesthesia or it's head hunger" and "no, you can't have that." I complained about her through the proper chain of command and went to my family physician and had a bunch of tests run and turns out it was gas pains that time. After that I just slowly followed the plan they gave me and if I felt ready for the next step I tried the tiniest bit of what was on the list. If it was ok and didn't hurt or come back up, I figured I was ok. I've only thrown up once in all this time and that's when I ate teeny tiny bite of turkey before time. LOL It was Thanksgiving and I cooked so I wasn't not having any. Worth it? Hmmm...not really, because it came up instantly. I stopped speaking to my nutritionist not because she's not knowledgeable or right or doing what's in my best interest, but because I think I know what's best for me. I go see my current doctor or speak to my surgeon, but mostly I have learned to follow the guidelines on my own that were set forth after I had my surgery. I got dehydrated or felt like it and that makes me tired and sleep a lot and gives me diarrhea and for some reason it also makes my stomach hurt which makes me think I'm starving to death. I'm really not. Sound familiar? Head hunger?? Indigestion??? I went to a hydration spa and had a hydration iv with vitamins and minerals etc. It was a medical spa and the IV I selected with the help of the doctor and nurse at that spa was specially created for bariatric patients like me with my particular symptoms. I felt like a million bucks when I left. Because I don't always stay on track (this new life style is hard for me), I think it's probably time for another IV infusion to rehydrate, but that's just something I do for myself now because I don't eat out, I don't drink or party, I don't have expensive hobbies or a gym membership or any debt. Got to spend my discretionary money on something so I chose that. We eat to live now, not the other way around. Go see a doctor. You might ask about a hydration spa and see what your doctor thinks. Mine thought it was a great idea and my last labs were fantastic. I was on 21 medications in November 2022 when I had my surgery and I'm only on 5 now and am down 90 lbs. I wish you all the best and good health~
