Hey guys I'm a little over 2 months post op and I've been feeling really nauseous. Plan on calling my doctor tom. Prior to this I've between doing great. Its been going on alot and is really making it difficult to eat. The feeling is there even when i don't eat but when i do it gets worse. I never actually vomit. I feel like i have an excess amount of saliva in my mouth gross i know. I posted yesterday but reposted today seeing if anyone has experienced anything similar???? Someone said acid reflux but most acid reflux information says heart burn and that is not it

No I am really careful about eating small amounts and chewing really well. With slimming do you feel nauseous even when you aren't eating?

I'd almost still lean towards acid reflux. It doesn't always have to FEEL like heartburn. Sometimes, just excess gurgling & nausea can be caused by reflux.

Just my 2-cents. Hope you get some relief!!

I had acid reflux for almost two weeks and Pepcid and tums weren't cutting it I made me feel sick a lot and not want to drinker eat then sometimes what I ate wouldn't stay with me. Yesterday on docs advice I took Pepcid priolsec and a zantex I feel so much better and have been eating regular mini meals since then.

I'm about 3 weeks post op and this is happening to me all the time. I take meds daily for reflux so im not sure why I am still nauseated all the time. It gets worse as I eat, and I only eat a bit or 2 in one "meal." Hopefully some reflux meds work for you!

I'm almost 1 1/2 years post op and I get nauseated all of the time. You need to know what to eat, what you can tolerate (I tolerate salmon as my most tolerated meal), how to eat and don't over do it. Portion Control is controlled by the procedure meaning you can't overeat or it will not stay down. I've noticed that I eat something and get instantly tired. I asked my doctor and he said it's a carbohydrate rush. So I stay away from these foods that make me tired.

I now know the meats I can eat and those choices are different than what I could eat before my procedure. Make sure all meats are wet. I cannot eat breaded chicken and tend to stay away from chicken entirely.

What seems to help me is I eat my dinner and then eat pretzels that seems to calm my nausea. If you are eating sweets, that is one of the side effects of the Sleeve. Makes you sick. However, for me, if nausea is a lifestyle change I need to tolerate, and the Sleeve is not reversible, then I'm prepared to find the foods best suited for me and I will change my habits to that lifestyle. For me I try something and it goes down well. Then 15 to 1/2 hour later I get the nausea. I then take some Maalox and drink Water.

Being nauseated is in levels. Slight, moderate and OMG I think I'm going to vomit. I can only add good luck. It may be a normal part of my new lifestyle but my life is a great deal better than it was before my operation. I can live with it and eat more things that do not bring on the OMG nausea. I don't think it goes away.

I also. want to add, I eat @ the same thing every day for Breakfast and lunch. dinner is a crap-shoot. Eating out, I choose very very carefully.

      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!

      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.
