Hey guys I'm a little over 2 months post op and I've been feeling really nauseous. Plan on calling my doctor tom. Prior to this I've between doing great. Its been going on alot and is really making it difficult to eat. The feeling is there even when i don't eat but when i do it gets worse. I never actually vomit. I feel like i have an excess amount of saliva in my mouth gross i know. I posted yesterday but reposted today seeing if anyone has experienced anything similar???? Someone said acid reflux but most acid reflux information says heart burn and that is not it

I left the hospital on zegerid but was doing so well I didn't need it. Ice never had acid reflux and was starting to wonder if this is what it feels like???

Haven't been on in awhile being a single mom who works full time and with exercise there seems to be no time left in the day. Ok my question just recently I've been hit with the worst nausea. Even the thought of food makes me feel sick and i have to force myself to eat. I even resorted to taking the nausea pills i got post op but they don't seem to help. I feel like my mouth is filled with thick saliva YUCK!!!! I'm going to call the doc on monday to see if they can prescribe something. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this????

Please include me sleeved 2/29

Thanks. Have you taken before and after pictures and compared. Before these pictures I swore I wasn't losing any weight. I think it's harder for us to notice.

Thanks everyone I feel great. I'm down two sizes in clothes. According to the scale I've lost 25 pounds. I've had a couple stalls but notice once it's over I'll lose alot at once. I am walking five miles a day and doing intervals of jogging at .25 miles. Most of all I am happy.

I'm feeling great. eating is no longer a joy for me just something I feel like I have to do. Weight loss is slow but I an getting smaller

I'm six weeks out today and was really frustrated with the scale but continue to walk everyday. Yesterday my son made a slide show of before and after pictures and that made me feel so much better. Still have a ways to go but loving the progress so far.

For me a diabetic who craves sugar so bad it use to wake me up from my sleep this is awesome. Craziest part of all I'm not even tempted to eat some. Five weeks out, went from four diabetic meds to only needing one which I'm slowly weaning off of. I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!!

I'm five weeks out and remember that feeling of needing to chew. SF popsicles were and still are one of my favorites treats but during those first couple of weeks I couldnt survive without them. I also would strain clam chowder after the first two weeks. It was nice and filling. Go to the store and buy SF pops. Tropical flavor are to die for my boys even love them

My temp was all over the place but now six weeks out I feel normal. I did have a horrible underarm smell that my doctor said was normal yuck.

No candy in my house this year. My boys are 14 & 16. Funny thing is my boys aren't really into sweets. Thankfully that is something I didn't pass down to them. Now post sleeve I realize I would be the one eating most of their candy. This is the first year I didn't buy candy for me put it in their baskets lol lol.

Everyone experience its different but one thing that most of is have in common is we will all say out gets better. Once I started healing I felt better them pre surgery. Like everyone else I would suggest walking. Also I hate protein but the one I am able to tolerate is Oh Yeah shakes give them a try. You will feel better soon!

Just checking in on my fellow leap day sleevers. How is everyone doing? I am down 22 pounds not a, lot. I feel great. Eating is getting easier. Still having a rough time getting all my protein and water in but its getting better. Biggest challenge right now is knowing when to stop eating. Being full feeds horrible. How's everyone else doing?

I also graze but on healthy food. For example at work I may nibble on my lunch for a couple of hours. Not sure if this is good but it seems to be working for me. I can only eat small amounts and hate the feeling of being full so I eat a, little at a time. Cheese seems to be my favorite.

I'm walking 4 to 5 miles but was able to get in a .25 mile jog with my son running beside me. He's an athlete in great shape it felt so great to run with him. My goal is a mile just one step at a time. Sleeved 2/29 starting weight 242 current weight 215

Reading the responses I remembered that I did sleep in a recliner my first week and it helped a lot!!

Thanks guys!!! Going to ask for clarification on the straw question when I have my appointment next week.

I hate calling my doctor to ask about every little question which is why I love, love, love this site. These may seem like silly questions but I'm wondering at what point we are allowed to drink with a straw?? I know when I left the hospital they told me to stay away from straws but is this a forever thing? I gave up my daily mountain dews but love to drink even Water with a straw. Also will there ever be a time when you can eat and drink at the same time. I had no clue how much discipline this would require as I've always ate and drank at the same time. I absent mindedly did it post sleeve and ended up spitting up water. Is this just for newly sleeved people or is this something I should prepare to do forever???? Sleeved 2/29

Thanks so much everyone. I went out and purchased a lunch bag, some healthy snacks and some elastic waist skirts. I realized while out today that jeans still don't feel so great although they are baggy so I'll go with the elastic waist for awhile. The sleeve requires so much discipline. I love this site you learn so much.

Yes yah to us. I feel so good about the future and do not regret this decision at all. Can't wait to see some major changes

Hey guys I'm going back to work after three weeks off tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about my eating and getting my protein in. Just seems like I have so much more control being at home where I have everything I need. Anyway Vets any good suggestions for going back to work? 3 week sleeved!

I agree with previous post although I an newly sleeved 2/29. My body is quick to let me know when I have had to much and it doesn't feel good at all. I sometimes feel like my stomach is not as restrictive as it should be. My co worker was sleeved couple months ago and she had so many problems with food. I don't get nauseous at all and all my mushy food I'm good with. Now if I eat even a little to much it feels awful!!
