Extreme nausea



Recommended Posts

Please help! I have been having extreme nausea, especially in the mornings to the point I cannot drink my coffee...this is a big problem considering my coffee "wakes up" my band. Without it and even alot of times with it, I have trouble getting things to go down. I had a complete unfill in November due to PBing, sliming, feeling of being stuck even though I only had 2 cc's in a 14 cc band...I did not have a slipped band according to the Barium Swallow. I was banded in May 2008...first year was great 70lbs without any problems. Anyone else with this problem? I REALLY need to hear from some of you with alot of band experience..thanks!

I hate to say it but have you had a pregnancy test? I couldn't even smell coffee when I was pregnant. If that isn't a possibility have you tried hot green tea or hot regular tea instead?

Thank you Leigha for responding....I will admit if I had not had a tubal ligation and the ablation surgery that is definitely what I would have thought because that was very true with both of my pregnancies! I will definitely try your suggestions, something has got to give...I am a nurse and am beginning to diagnose myself with esophagitis and gastritis...I put myself on a hefty dose of Zantac just to be safe.

I was also going to ask if you were pregnant. Maybe you have a bit of reflux? Maybe you need some fill out. If you can't face coffee maybe you can try some warm herbal tea. It should still wake up your band and I am sure that certain ones are supposed to help nausea. Not an expert but probably something with ginger in?

Might be worth a try.

I have also been having nausea (and tiredness). I recently went to my doc to get a bunch of bloodtests done inc thyroid, blood glucose,Iron,Vitamin b etc and all came back fine. I get spurts of nausea...mostly in the morning and I too find it hard to eat/drink anything in the morning until I have been up for a couple of hours. I asked my surgeon about the eating part and he said I should at least try to drink a "smoothie" or Optifast in the morning - even if it takes a while (which for me it does!).

I have resigned myself to the thought that maybe its just because my body, is in full fat burning mode, im not eating nearly as much as my body is used to and I just need to take those times that I'm feeling nauseas to just sit down and take a break..

Sorry I couldn't help more, but just wanted to let you know that I'm having the same thing!

I wonder whether sipping a warm liquid OTHER than coffee might be a good option? Coffee can be pretty irritating to the stomach, and if yours is already irritated, it might be making a bad situation worse.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
