You need to call your doc. You shouldn't feel that sick all the time.

What have you tried to eat that has been making you sick? (We cannot really make any suggestions without knowing what you have been trying and what kinds of foods you are cleared by your surgeon to have.)

Are you not drinking any protein shakes?!?

Have you talked to your surgeon's office? They can give you medication to help with nausea.

Are you getting in enough fluids? Dehydration can cause nausea.

It is normal to not be hungry, and some people do have problems with nausea, but it is odd that you say you feel sick hours after you eat. Most people who have trouble feel ill shortly after eating. Continuing to not eat at all will only make you feel worse.

Honey, don't eat mashed potatoes. Pureed soups with added unflavored protein (available at GNC or online at Unjury.com) are a good thing.

Find a good protein shake and use it.

My surgeon had me use Prilosec OTC for the first six weeks or so to combat the nausea and it really helped. You don't have to use a prescription drug unless you really want to.

And nausea is often a sign of dehydration, so please be sure you are getting five 20 oz bottles of water daily.

Good luck

Things will taste differently because you are in ketosis. That is what causes your breath to be bad, too. If you are nauseaus then you need to call your doctor because he can give you something for that. In the meantime make sure you get enough to drink because dehydration is a very real risk at this point.
