Yes, I am the same way! I am usually nauseous until I can get some liquids down... I usually sip Water while my daughter is eating Breakfast and start to feel a bit better by the time she's done!

YES I've been feeling like this since surgery, which was 9 weeks ago. I can't think about eating or drinking anything for a few hours after I wake up. Afternoons are great, but the mornings .... ugh.

I used to feel that way and then I started drinking a Protein Shake about 1 hour before bed and no longer feel nauseau in the morning. Give it a try - might work for you too! Good Luck!

11 months out and I get nausea a lot all during the day and night. Too empty, too full. Some things just don't sit well. Protein Shakes feel good everytime so I sip on them when I feel nausea and it helps for a little while. I had/have acid reflux and I take daily meds for it. Could be contributing to the nausea. I feel like I have a big pit in my stomach most of the time. Don't know how else to describe it. Maybe eventually this will go away along with my hair!

You lost all your hair??? Did you have a hard time getting Protein in?

I only feel nauseous when I first wake up. Once I drink something I feel fine! I am sorry you feel that way often! :(

I am 12 wks out and having a problem with very time I eat I feel nauseated and like the food is coming right back up my throat for a good 20 mins after eating or drinking anything. I am 8 wks pregnant so maybe this has something to do with it? I dunno. I'm just so uncomfortable :(

Thanks for the idea - I too am nauseous until my tummy wakes up - or at least I thought so. I'm not sure I'll have enough calories to allow for a Protein Drink before bed (mine are 160 calories) but of course most days I do. I was thinking it was because it empties out overnight that getting in Water or juice wakes it up, I take my ppi then about 1/2-1 hour later I eat breakfast. Seems to be working so far.

PS...I like your Andy Dufrane reference!

Hi,my dr advised me to drink more in the evening to prevent the nausea in the morning as slight dehydration because we dont drink for a long time while sleeping very often causes nausea first thing in the morning.

Better yet,take a few sips of Water when you go to the loo during the night.I actually drink almost 15oz of Water during the night now.

It works like a charm for me.

Oh, it's linked to dehydration! I was thinking because it was empty for so long. Makes total sense. Thanks.

i, too still have days with nausea. even wake up around 2am with it. it has gotten better. fluids help. my sleeve was 7-24-12. trying for all orals - no tube feedings for 14 days now so hopefully it will be removed early dec or late november. my stomach still hurts when i eat - about 80% of the time - it passes though. and my doc agrees that i need to just push through the discomfort so my esophagus remembers how to function. you will find your groove with your triggers and aids....give it time. trial and error i guess. i still wear a scopalimine patch.....i swear it helps. i was in bed for 38 days so i think being upright now that i am home triggers nausea with certain movements. keep us posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO, Not all my hair but a lot of it. Enough that I'm wearing wigs. No I can drink the Protein drinks just fine. I drink the ones from costco that have 30 grams of Protein per serving.

I have found the same being nauseous in the morning. I try to have my shake as soon as I get up and even though I am not really interested in having it once I start sipping the nausea goes away and I enjoy the shake.

      April Surgery
      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
