I'm day 1, I tried to have something too sweet yesterday and my body rejected it badly...thank goodness I was at home! Dumping syndrome is certainly no joke!!

About the nausea, be sure to get vitamin B1 (thiamin). You need it everyday to prevent nausea. You have to get your vitamins and fluids everyday. If you don't you will end up in an ER. There you will receive a banana bag IV. A banana bag is vitamins. Save yourself a lot of misery and take all your vitamins..
I'm 69. I ,too, had my sleeve on July 16. I have had no pain, no nausea other than when I forget my portion and overeat.. It happens when I have water before or after a meal.. For me that's a difficult thing.
On a lighter note, I was talking to my daughter yesterday. I was talking about my trip to Sam's and then the grocery. I found a small package of lamb for stew, really small, for $3.00. I told her I needed carrots. She said does Publix sell carrots 1at a time. How many days can you go on 1carrot! I was laughing so hard. But she was partially right because I had leftover green beans in the fridge from several days ago. It was a 1# package of GB's and I had had them for at LEAST 4 meals already and they were on my menu tonight.
Think of the money you will save on groceries. Then you will be saving on clothing because you won't have to pay extra for plus sizes. You'll save on prescriptions, gas to get to the doctor, doctor bills.
The very best thing you will save is your life. In October my granddaughter will wed.. I will be able to attend. I will be able to enjoy the event. I won't have to find a chair and stay put in order to tolerate being there.
Life is changing for you. Enjoy the ride!
