I was doing great the first weekor so and then it hit me as well. Here's the saving grace for me, My family Dr called to see how I was doing and told me to eat (get this) Utz Vinegar and salt potatoe chips 1-2 ata time and or Clausion Dill pickle chips. It seems that the vinegar kills the nausea almost right away and I am so sick of pickles and the chips right now but am not nausious anymore. I too switched to Flintstone chewables and just doubled the doseage.

Hi all -- I had all the nausea and massive (and I mean MASSIVE) heartburn up into your throat kind until just last week (week 6 for me) -- I've also had off and on again diarrhea.

I had nausea whenever I ate too fast or too much and then I would dry heave (nope, nothing would come out). I had massive heartburn that would wake me up and then I went back to my surgeon and he told me to take 2 nexxium -- (I was taking 1). I am supposed to be taking nexxium for at least 3 months up to 6 months after surgery.

Well, all of that was last week. I am now back down to 1 nexxium (yay!) -- have had NO heartburn, and no nausea this week. go figure. I still have the off again, on again diarrhea -- but I figure my stomach is trying to sort itself out.

I am eating solids now too. I don't know if that's the difference or not.

I found that when I was on the mushies (oh how I hated the mushies) that I was constantly ill -- I couldn't stomach the mushed up food -- so I made mine not so mushed up (with some chunks) and ate it soooooo slowly -- it was the only way to get food down. Plus I relied on my Protein powder -- I put it in everything I could just so I would get the required Protein in.

And I drank drank drank Water alllll day long. It was the only thing that made me feel good.

I was getting nauseated often too. I noticed it especially after taking my Multivitamin. After researching on here and speaking to my surgeon it turns out the Multivitamin was the cause! The surgeon said he has received a lot of complaints about the brand - Bariatric Advantage. I got some samples from him for Celebrate Vitamins and it looks like I'll be switching to them.

Have you tried using different Vitamins? You can get free samples online, too.

I tried many different multi-vitamins.. The only one I can tolerate (except the gummies, which are not complete) are the Flintstones complete chewables. They aren't the yummiest, but I have gotten used to them, and they don't make me nauseas at all.
