I feel like I have severe morning sickness



Recommended Posts

I had my Gastric Sleeve Surgery on June 18 so I am just a few weeks out. I am suppose to be eating soft foods and I am, though it is a struggle to eat as much as has been recommended. My biggest hurdle right now is how awful I feel for about an hour or two when I first get up. I feel nauseated, hot, dizzy.... just like a hangover or morning sickness. I really have to push myself to get something in my stomach. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Sounds like low blood sugar.

Could you drink some juice as soon as you get up and see if that helps? You could even keep it next to the bed so you don't have to go far.

Are you taking a PPI? Acid can make you feel horrible and if you are not taking Nexium, Prilosec, Zegrid, Aciphex or something, you really should ask your dr. for some!

I'm taking Prevacid morning and night, it seems that between those, Multi Vitamins, and another perscription I have to take, I am full half the day just from them, even when I spread them out. I'll be happy when I can get more food in. I should be eating more soft foods now and I can tolerate most anything, not nearly as much as I have heard people describe. One scrambled egg is too much. It takes me all day to get in a Protein Shake.< /p>

You will be able to eat and drink more the further out you go. Getting your liquids in at this point is challenging. That is why it is imerative that if nothing else, you drink your fluids, even if you can't eat!!! Drink WATER!!!

Don't take your Vitamins on an empty stomach, that will make you feel sick too!! My Vitamins were making me horribly sick and I didn't understand why!! That was it! I started eating first and then I was fine. You might also want to try eating before you take any pills, maybe your sleeve is just super sensitive.

Are you alergic to milk? Maybe the Protein drinks are agreeing with you?? Theses are all things for you to take into consideration. If you aren't drinking enough, the nausea could also be because you are dehydrated. Be careful with that!! SIP SIP SIP!!

If you don't get better, call your dr.

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
