Okay, so I'm six weeks out, the nausea (for the most part) had passed but now it's happening ALL day for the past couple of days...is this normal?? I have been living off of Zofran and/or Phenergan and I haven't really needed either since about 1-2 weeks out. Even Water is making me nauseated.

I am experiencing exactly the same thing. I'm six weeks out today. I was nauseous weeks 2-4 then it got better, now sick again. It's been hard to get much down for past few days dye to nausea. So I'm interested in this thread as well. Thx!!

Here I am to save the day!!!!!!! NOT! :P Ummm.... Not sure why if you were doing good that it changed so suddenly... The usually suspects would be a stricture but it could also be just part of the fun of healing. I never threw up but for the first two months I would get times where I just felt nauseous on certain days... See no help :D

I would call the doc tomorrow. It's probably nothing serious but anytime recovery goes backwards rather than forward, it's a food idea to ping them anyway. Sorry you're not feeling good :(

Are you eating healthily? Have you increased fat or sugar or carbs or something that your body's not liking maybe?

I pretty much eat the SAME diet daily...there are a few variations, but mostly the same stuff. I do know the PA told me that nausea could be gallbladder issues, BUT i'm not hurting at all. Yesterday and today, I have hardly been able to eat much of anything - between 300-500 calories and that is FORCING myself to eat.

Difficult is that patient who doesn't call when she needs to, waits until she gets worse, and then bothers her doc on a Sunday by needing to be admitted :P

I am 5 months out and I have been nauseous for a few weeks now. No pain or other symptoms. Surgeon thinks gall bladder but ultrasound showed no stones. So now I am going for a HIDA scan (looking for sludge?).

Try eating something salty when nauseous -- it's the only thing that helps me. Salty broth, salt on eggs or potatoes, even cottage cheese. Try to avoid fat. I started eating potato chips, then popcorn -- both trigger foods for me so I had to give those up. Now I just live with the nausea until we figure out the problem.

Wouldn't it be kinda soon for me to have gallstones though?

      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.
