I have Reglin I think it's called? For stomach and nausea, a nausea patch and ondansetron so three different kinds of nausea meds. I felt fine the first 3 weeks I'd say but now it's all day and comes in waves. It's getting to the point where I don't even want to eat because I know one bite and I won't be feeling good. It's impossible to be in a social setting right now. I hope it gets better I just want to feel normal again...I'm a slow loser also so right now I'm regretting surgery a little bit.

I have an app with him next week. Any idea what could be wrong?

First couple weeks after surgery I felt amazing, everything went down well the more I graduated into soft foods. Lately though the last two weeks I'd say everything I eat I take a bite and get nauseous. I throw up probably twice a week and not because food is stuck (trust me had that happen I know how that feels) or just I'm full it's literally my first bite and just because....I didn't read anything about this being a side affect, is this normal???

omg crackers and cheese sound amazing! Lol it's TOM and I want everything. Usually this is where we have chinese food twice in one week but as good as general tso chicken sounds right now I'm pretty sure it's not on my liquid/mushy diet! Lol you are right nobody said it was going to be easy, only thing that keeps me going is the 17lbs I already lost

When I was in the hospital for the dehydration the Dr. let me have eggs. They went down fine so I have been having things like eggs, burrito insides and cheez-its because they dissolve easily in my mouth. My biggest obstacle is the hernia repair make my opening to my stomach the size of straw so if I don't chew things good enough or take a big bite of even apple sauce it gets stuck and hurts like heck. I actually have some b-12 dissolve pills so I'll try it and see if it works. Thanks!

Happy I can relate to somebody lol. I don't enjoy food at all right now and I just hope it gets better. Like you said I want a meal, a small meal but eating something without feeling lousy after would be nice. I am tired too, literally ALL THE TIME! I had to take a nap every day since surgery which was 2 weeks ago today. My husband went back to work Monday and I'm struggling with fatigue and taking care of our two toddlers. I just don't have any energy to run after them and keep the house up so currently my house is a mess. I hope it gets better for us!! The doc at my post op app told me I had to stay on full liquids and some mushies like eggs for another 4 weeks but I just can't wait to eat something normal I feel like an outcast when the rest of the family has to cook something different for me when everybody else has a steak lol.

I'm two weeks post op and having a hard time with this new stomach. I can't drink anything without getting instantly full and then I feel either nauseous or lousy when my stomach is full. I was already in the hospital for severe dehydration which IDK how because I always have Water next to me. I can't get enough Popsicles or water because I am SO THIRSTY! Before surgery I guzzled water all day, water bottle after water bottle. In 2010 I had 3 surgeries to get rid of a kidney stone the size of a ping pong ball so ever since then I make sure I get enough water. Now it seems impossible since more than a tiny sip makes my hernia repair and sleeve upset. Because I'm taking in less water my kidney stones are back! ughhhhh what did I do to myself? Thanks for listening to me rant and rave lol. Hope it gets better from here

Lol they were suppose to leave the monitor in me. It was a device that stayed in for a couple weeks to measure how much acid comes up to see if I needed my hernia repaired also. The device was a little bit bigger than a pill and it was suppose to just come off my esophagus and digest but it got stuck in my hernia repair then bounced around my sleeve causing some pain.

Just got home, I got admitted over***ht. Turns out the esophageal monitor they had in me for my acid reflex they never took out after surgery. It was about the size of a pen cap so when it went through my hernia repair then my sleeve it caused some pain and discomfort. Was pretty dehydrated too which I have no idea how to prevent at this point since I'm constantly sipping on water or Popsicles. Doing okay now tho thanks for all the well wishes

I was sleeved a week ago today. I have this pain in my esophagus kindof right in the middle of my boobs. Feels like I dry swallowed a huge pill and it got stuck. Not terrible stabbing pain but an annoying ache that gets worse when I inhale. Feels like I really need to hick-up or burp but the gas won't come up it's just stuck there. Anyway, I called my dr to ask about it and she's said go to the hospital where I had the sleeve done and go to the ER! What?? Why?? what is it???

Not sure how much Water you drink a day but somebody on here said the more water she drank the more she started to lose again. I took her advice and it worked for me

Thank you good luck to you too, have you had your surgery yet?

I had my surgery Wednesday and I am feeling great! My stomach feels like I did 200 sit ups when I get out of bed or up from the couch but it's nothing too painful at all. I started the surgery at a lower BMI, highest weight 240 went to the hospital after eating lean proteins for a month and then 2 weeks of liquid diet at 211lbs.

I know I had a little bit of blood in my stomach from the staples and the nurse told me the taste in my mouth was from that. She said it's normal and will go away. And yes that sounds like gas pain and the grumbling in my stomach at least for me is just the air moving around. Gas X strips works for my gas pain and makes that hungry feeling in my stomach go away. Oh and drinking water helps too

SO excited to step on the scale today and was 197!! I am officially out of the 200s and I hope to never see them again. This sleeve is the best decision I have ever made for myself. I haven't lost a ton yet, it's still early but I'm already confident in myself and learning to love myself again with every pound that comes off. Thought I'd share since this is a huge milestone for me

I found this on Pinterest and decided to make one too. I am only a couple days out of surgery but it's a nice visual along with the number on the scale going down to see what you accomplished and what work still need to be done. I love it!

That's too funny and a great idea! My kids use to eat the puffs when they were little. I know they are loaded with Vitamins and aren't half bad. I'm going to have to get some thanks for the tip!

That's awesome you can have normal foods already! I cannot wait until I can even eat some fruit! I'm on full liquids right now but the only thing the dr stressed at the hospital were the Protein shakes. I know they are important but mine are nasty so I'm not only going to have only the shakes all day I need a little variety lol.

I'm two days out of surgery. Was on clear liquids yesterday and today I get to go back to my protein shakes. Was curious if I can have tomato soup??? Doc didn't mention anything about any other liquids besides the protein shakes.

I got mine at Walmart for $10.00 by the exercise stuff

They did not need to take out the monitor said it should slide through so I will deal with that when the time comes. Home already thank GOD since everytime I tried to sleep last night somebody came in the room to do this and that so happy to be in my own bed. Pain isn't too bad at all feels like I did 3000 sit ups and my muscles ache that's about it. So far I haven't felt pain in my stomach from the staples like I read other people had so I am very thankful about that. I don't have a drain so I can use one of those belly binders to kindof hold everything in and it's working wonders I can get around much easier with it on.

Yes meds are good lol! Only bad thing is I just got my leak test. I didn't get the results yet but during my EGD last week the doctor put a monitor in my esophagus to measure my acid reflex. The monitor is the size of a pen cap and he said either it'll fall off before surgery or they will take it our during surgery since I had my hiatal hernia fixed as well and it wouldn't be able to pass. At my leak test we discovered it's still in my esophagus! Doctor never took it out so I might have to go back under to get it taken out!

Thanks everybody for the prayers and good luck wishes! Surgery was 10:00 yesterday. Got out of surgery a little sore and a lot of gas but nothing too bad. Today is a little worse but not anything majorly hurting just sore. Feels like I did 3,000 sit ups and my muscles ache. I am thanking god for this website and the things I read up on what to bring. Gas X strips have helped a lot, my little tiny pillow is a life savor, I wouldn't have gotten any sleep last night if it weren't for putting it against my belly when I laid on my side or using it to get out of bed. I brought a heating pad for my back also and it helped tremendously with gas and back pain. I would feel much better once they let me have a sip of soup or something. My leak test is in an hour but I didn't eat since 7:00 Tuesday night so I'm starving and weak.

good idea thank you!

I will post back thanks guys somebody said on here heating pads for gas pain is a must and the gasX strips which I have so I will let you know how handy those things came for me.
