Regretting surgery

Has anyone else felt very nauseous 4 weeks out? I haven't been able to eat anything for a week i feel like I'm going to vomit when I drink water. I have tried 5 diff nausea pills and also had a EKG done and everything looks fine the only thing I have done for two weeks is lay on the couch I'm so regretting this surgery

  • Eight ounces is WAY too much. I suspect your reading is as inaccurate as your writing.

YES! I felt so nauseous for so long. I have a few issues with my sleeve but my nausea turned out to be because I had increased swelling in my sleeve. They find in some people that for no known reason they just swell up more and it makes us nauseous. It alleviates between the 6 and 7th week from what my surgeons said. And that is what happened for me. Personally I would request a scope just to make sure there are no other issues so you don't end up in the hospital like I did.

I did regret the surgery too, now I am so glad I did it and would do it again.

I did have the scoop yesterday and dr said my tummy looks good. I am so sick of this. When did you start eating I just can't do it. I have ice cream that I try and eat because I can't think about eating anything without running to the bathroom. I'm so ready to get this life started but I swear I'm never going to feel better.

Yesssss, I so hated my sleeve for the first 3 - 4 months. . . wished everyday I hadn't done it. . . but now being almost 2 years out it's the best thing I ever did. . . as far as the nausea, try drinking warm tea, less cold water, broth, etc. . . sometimes our delicate tummies can't handle that cold liquid after surgery. Also, you might want to get suppository phenergen, this works very well for me. . . Good luck! Hope it works. . .

DOnt eat any milk products. that can cause gas and nausea! I have found that the more activity I get the better my nausea is.

and plain Water makes me GAG so I add SPecial K2O to my water. better flavor and I get more Protein too!

try chicken broth. popcicles, Soups (again NO milk). it is not unusual for us to try and eat more then we are ready for and get sick!!! only ONE bite at a time. SIP all liquids. I have also found that if I eat more then ONE bite I throw up! I hope this helps!

im just goin though a tough time also but cuz i want food all i think about is food idk why mayb cause im not eatting it you knw what they say if you cnt have you want more. its prob my brain stupid brain

I understand your frustration! I am at 17 days and I was soooo looking forward to mushies but each time I eat I get so nauseated! Doc prescribed me generic Zofran. I also started taking Prilosec. I do not regret the sleeve I am just tired of feeling like I want to get sick each time I eat or drink. Plus run off to the bathroom. I have to be careful cuz I travel for work so I am not exactly a happy camper right now. I just hope it ends soon.

I tried and tried to eat and couldn't do it, the swelling got so bad that I could not physically get anything done. Even during my hospital stay for 12 days I could not even drink Water, they had to put a PICC line in, it was right around the 7 week mark that I was finally able to get mushy food in and they discharged me. the nausea stuck around for a week or so but I have been fine since then.

I've found that sugar free popsicles are a lifesaver for me when I feel nauseous.

Iam just now getting where i can drink some plain water 6 wk post op. The best thing for me to drink is hot tea..drink plent of hot tea..a life saver and add splenda!

I was told by my dr to stop taking the acid reducer not sure why she said to do that because she said I had alot of bio in there when she did the scoop. So teas I've never had tea it never did sound good to me but im willing to try it what are some that are good for the stomach problems also would sprite be a bad idea this early? I'm not sure I can handle broth, sugar free anything or soups anymore I've had to gag them down and now thinking about it totally makes me sick. Thanks for all the replies I've really needed this help.

Try warm tea that is caffeine free. I found the warmth settled my tummy down. Then I was able to drink room temp water. Took awhile for me to really handle cold water.
