I'm also four weeks out and started experiencing some nausea, especially early in the morning. First thing I do now is to get a glass of Water down and I've upped my water intake considerably so I am getting more than 70 ounces and that has really helped me.

I found that nausea was actually my body telling me to eat Breakfast. I was never a breakfast eater. Now I get up and go grab a shake right after I go to the bathroom in the AM. It stops the nausea almost immediately!

One trigger for nausea is in fact your stomach saying you should eat something. Try a little something, even broth, and see if that helps.

A drop of peppermint oil will soothe nausea.

I went through that at 28days and ended in the hospital this past weekend due to dehydration because I felt sick I didn't eat and I didn't want to drink anything while in the hospital I felt so much better now im back home and feel sick again so as I type this im gonna do another 20oz of Water.< /p>

Its probably deyhdration.

I have had slight morning nausea since surgery (now 10 weeks out) and I do get my 65oz of liquid in.... but have taken to drinking 8oz right before bed at night and 8oz as soon as I get up and no more nausea!

Now... I do get the spins, the tingles and/or sick if I eat too fast or too much. But thats a different topic all together!

Try the Water before/after bed. It should help.

I am new to the forum and I'm suffering from extreme nausea. I've done ginger tea, etc but finally im taking some medicine to sort of help. I am 6 weeks post op and down 72 pounds. Unfortunately I've had several set backs. So it hasn't been the best start. Any help with nausea would be great! Thanks for reading.

      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.

        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.

      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!!
