January 2013 Sleevers?

[2013newme 42]

I had mine on 23 Jan but I actually dread eatting, it always feels uncomfortable and I always feel nauseous after I've eaten. I take my time and I chew but I always feel bad, I think I've had maybe 3 times since surgery where I haven't felt sick and that's all :-( please help give me some sound advice x

If I eat more than a cup or so of food per meal (over a 20 - 30 minute timeframe), I feel nauseous too. Our stomachs can't handle much anymore - so maybe decrease the amount you are eating???

I eat approx 6 teaspoons of food before I feel really sick, I take me time and chew thoroughly to make sure its not too chunky but still I feel sick. I drink lots of Water to keep me hydrated but food fills me with dread. Small amount eaten very slowly still makes me ill :-(

Thank you for taking the time to try and help me :-) x

I was sleeved Jan 21 and I started having that problem when I switched to regular food. A friend who had hers a year ago told me to start taking Probiotics daily. My doctor has me on Prilosec daily and that's supposed to help but once I started the probiotic that cut out the nauseousness. Try that it's over the counter like the Prilosec. Hope that helps.

I keep eating too fast. I'm waiting too long to eat in between meals and find myself starving and scarfing down my 3-4 bites. Then I feel sick and can't eat anymore. How can I train myself to eat slow?

Take dime sized bites and chew the daylights out of each bite. It takes some serious conscious effort to override a lifetime of eating habits.

I do take lansoprozole, which is the same kind of medication, but this stops the acid but not the sickness that I feel. I will get some probiotics and see if that helps. I'm just sick of the nausea and. I'm worried my 3yr old will think that its normal to be sick after food. She asks me everytime I eat if I'm okay and do I need to be sick. I really need to get this sorted out. Thank you so much for your advice. :-) x

Hello January Sleevers. Today I am 6 wks post op and loving my sleeve. Today my BMI is no longer morbidly obese!!!! I have dropped 24 lbs since surgery and 58 lbs since seeing my surgeon the first time on Oct. 17th. I have had no issues with my sleeve or surgery.

:wub: I love knowing that I am not going to over eat when I sit down for a meal :wub:

Update:

Sleeved on 1/22/13

1st doctor visit weight-380

surgery weight-360

Current weight 3/16/13-310

Things are going well, but I'm starting to lose my appetite again just like after surgery. Anyone else feel the same? What can I do? Not eating means stalls in my weight loss.
