Surgery May 19, 2009. Down 30 pounds today!! YAY!!!
-
I had my first fill 3 wks ago tomorrow. The nausea started for me at 2 wks post fill. I do get a "barely there" hunger pang, but not much more than that. In my case, the nausea starts a couple of hours after I eat, like between 1.5-2 hrs. It doesn't matter if it is soft foods or liquids. I am losing really nicely, down 30 pounds in 7 wks, and I would hate to have to be "unfilled", but this nausea is worse than when I was pregnant! I don't puke, but the nausea is definitely there. I am wondering if maybe some nausea med would work?

I sip during meals if I need to. I know that we are not supposed to, but that has been the hardest for me. I only sip water, and it hasn't caused me to eat too much yet. I was banded 5/19, and am still losing, after 1 fill.
