I feel like I have car/sea sickness 24 hours a DAY,

I have wanted so bad for this to be a rewarding experience, Exciting experience etc, but ive been sadly disappointed :( I just can't get past this nausea. My surgery was June 20. I'm a slow loser , but that's ok because I'm only 4'11". Surgery day I was 191.4 and today I'm 172. I barely can keep anything down for the last week though. I'm lost and I really don't want to spiral into a depression like I did for the first month after surgery, that was AWFUL!

Get some anti nausea candy and stay hydrated I get really pukey feeling when I'm dehydrated

It is interesting that the nausea has occurred this far out from surgery. It may have absolutely nothing to do with the surgery. Hydration is so very important and vomiting makes it difficult to stay hydrated, It is time to consult your doctor.

I took anti nausea meds along with Levsin, an anti cramping medicine, for my first two months every day. One day I woke up, the nausea was gone and I stopped. I still have a prescription on hand just in case.

Ask your surgeon for a prescription. Nausea is torture.

I haven't been able to stomach ANYTHING all week, I know dehydration is a HUGE factor, but how do I drink water when it makes me so sick?

You have hit the nail on the head. Get to your doctor and get something going to stop this cycle.

You really need to get to the doctor IMHO. You are also probably lacking electrolytes now due to dehydration will make you doubly nauseous. Please call the doc, and in the meantime, drink some G-2 or Pediacare to replace the electrolytes.

I'd do full sugar Gatorade. That's the only thing I could tolerate. It took me hours to down a 16oz bottle but I felt SO MUCH better when I finished it. Water is too "hard" when you are newly sleeved, especially when you are already dehydrated.

I agree with Lipstick Lady... full sugar Powerade or Gatorade. Thats all I drank right after surgery because water and CL just made me sick. So I got uber dehydrated and constipated. Once I got a few of those in me I felt a lot better... get some Gatorade and call the doc...
