Hello, sorry to hear about your nausea. Are you getting a good bit of Fluid in? Dehydration can cause nausea. And are you taking Nexium or Prilosec or anything? You may want to try that and see if it helps. Good luck and call your dr if you don't find relief soon.

I had my sleeve done on 02/22 and have had similar issues like you. I had to go get IV fluids last week because I was dehydrated, and I get spasms right after I eat really bad and YEAH the spit thing I have too but I think its because of the dehydration but some days seem better than other and it depends on what I eat too. I am still playing with foods but I noticed if I stick with sugar free Jello and sugar free pudding that doesn't happen to me so we are just gonna have to ease into new foods gently and hopefully this will stop.

Hi Jessica, I was nauseated for a while after surgery but Im happy to report that its gone away for the most part. I had mine done on 12/21/10 and I rarely have nausea now. It does happen when I eat a little too much but other than that im alot better.

As for spitting, I didnt have that problem but I had a thick white film on my tongue for 6 weeks or so and bad breath and dry mouth as well. I still struggle with the dry mouth if Im not hydrated well.

Hope that helps.

Dehydration can cause nausea. Have you tried warm liquids? I know they helped me in the begining to relax my tummy.I would suggest to get in your fluids now and not worry about the other stuff as much.

I got sleeved 2/1/2011. I was nauseated but it did go away. Now, there are still things that make me nauseated....for instance fruit juice. My surgeon says that just because something makes me sick now, doesn't mean that in a month I will have the same reaction. As your body heals, things will get better. Right after my surgery I had HORRIBLE issues with acid. I had to take Prilosec daily to prevent it. That also has subsided.

I was sleeved the same day as you and I have not had the nausea issues or the spitting thing, but I absolutely cannot drink anything cold. It sends my stomach into a spasm like crazy. I don't know if that might be what's causing your problem or not. I can eat popsicles, but they are not as cold by the time I swallow if that makes sense! I don't bite and chew them, just let them melt in my mouth.

Sounds like it might just be dehydration. Just try to drink as much as you can get in. It is hard for me, I have to remind myself to drink. I will be so glad when things get easier to go down.

First the nausea should go away, drink as much Fluid as you can, remember to sip, next if this precis please contact your surgeon, he or she should be able to assist you in your discomfort.

Good luck and be well.

I agree with autumnlily. I only drank warm liquid for the first while. Cold liquids caused spasms, warm went down smooth. I also had to Water down my warm apple juice, broth, etc to make it go down easier. Get comfy with a drink and sip sip sip. Don't stop until it's gone. Yes it'll take a while, probably a long while. If you still don't feel better, I think a doctors visit may be in order. Hope you feel better quick

I was very nauseated immediately following my surgery as well. I found that whatever the anti-gas medicine the doctor prescribed for me really helped reduce the nausea.

Good luck! It will get better!

hi,

Sorry to hear about your nausea, I was sleeved on 3/1 but didn't get that. I did do the spit thing, I was spitting every minute for the first week, I don't know why, I just needed to spit!!!! Then it stopped, all I did for the 1st week was broths and popsicles, I went through 3 boxes of popsicles the 1st week, but doctor said it's fine and that was prob helping me keep hydrated, I couldn't tolerate Water, it just caused me to gag. I use to drink alot of water before my surgery, now I can't

You might try the calorie free Gatorade. Sometimes the electrolytes help. Hope you feel better soon. Congrats on your sleeve!

Bless your heart, the spit thing is called sliming and that will go away. . the stomach is trying to make digestive juices but it's not working how it used to so unfortunately it comes up making you spit. . .i am 14+ months out and if i eat too much or too fast i still get that. . . the nausea is going to go away eventually, but I would call the doctor to let them know you're having a problem cause if it's recorded that is better then not calling and them wanting to know why you didn't call earlier. . . don't worry it DOES get better. . . right now your in the relearn phase and it really sucks. . . pretty soon it'll be gone and your going to be just fine! Good luck and call the doctor to let them know of your nausea. . .

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
