You may be getting dehydrated. Try to keep sipping. If you dont feel better in a few hours, go get an IV. My surgeons office has a special place you go to just to get an iv for a few hours. They recommend it when its needed. I would try to keep sipping and see if that helps first.

My dietician said that nausea is one of the first signs she sees in her sleeve patients. Forensikchic is right: really focus on your fluids but don't hesitate to get an IV if you're not feeling better in a few hours. Dehydration can escalate very quickly.

Seriously, this isn't something to mess around with.

I was in the hospital this week for 2 nights for dehydration. Google symptoms of dehydration. My major symptoms were headache, tired/weak, and nausea. In 3 days I hadn't had 3 cups of liquid because I couldn't swallow caused by swelling from severe acid relfux.

How much liquid have you been able to take in? Don't let it get worse or go untreated you don't want your recovery and health to suffer.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
