So I had my operation on th 21st of Oct...some days I can deal but most days I cant...Ive by retching up everything even when I wake up in the morning Im nauseated and dry heave a lil...went to see my Dr she said everything was fine but it was possible that I took a bigger drink of something had a lil too much...heck if I sip any slower...I didnt think that it would be like this...very agitated at this point wondering what I got myself into...has anyone else gone thru this and tell me that it will get better...2 weeks tomorrow...

It does get better!!!! I wondered at one point early on why I had done this. Now I still get sick if I forget and eat too fast but I wish I had done it sooner. I can do so many more things and am off so many meds that it is worth it. Good luck and keep in touch with us for support.

2 weeks out I was on full liquids. A suggestion is to always back up... if you are on mushies try backing up to liquids. I like the visual as the newly sleeved tummy as being like a newborn baby that needs gentle TLC,

Keep portions really small. Nerves are cut during surgry,, you might not "feel" how full you really are.

I promise, this gets easier.

i felt exactly the same. regretted having the surgery eveey day for the first month. now i still get sick if i eat too fast but otherwise i feel great. it gets much better it just took me a long time to realise how ridiculously slowly have to eat. they really mean it - like 2-3 mins between bites. it takes half an hour to get through half a grilled cheese sandwich. hang in there

Thanks ladies I'm trying I'm just tired of the nausea I'm supposed to start puréed tomorrow but I think I'm going to stick to liquids for another week or two...I hope it does get better

I hope you feel better soon. I am 6 days out and take Nexium for reflux and anti nausea meds I did find that walking after drinking helps I don't have a big yard but I walk around the outside of the house after every drink
