Nausea After 2 Months



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on October 16th. For the past week, I have been very nauseous at night, after eating dinner. I have been figuring out what foods I can and cannot eat, and I am careful with my diet. Eating slowly is more difficult than not drinking while eating but I am trying. Yet, I still get nauseous and have even vomited after eating dinner. For Breakfast, I have a Protein Shake. lunch and snack is usually Peanut Butter crackers, yogurt, cheese, whole grain toast, etc. Dinner is when I eat "real" meals....cooked food in small amounts. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am so frustrated with the pain or nausea I feel when I eat. I am starting to dread food.

My surgery was Sept 27 and up until this week I have been nauseated almost every meal.

One things that caused mine is that I was not eating slow enough.

There is an app called "Eat Slower", this has helped me a lot. You don't realize how fast you are eating....

Are you eating your Protein first? That is important....Then you should fill up on low starch veggies and then have very little carb.

You should introduce one new food at a time and see how you handle it....See if that helps...if not, I would talk to your Dr. or NUT and see what they say.

Thank you so much. I got the app. I know I eat too fast at times. I was also having a hard time figuring out which foods were causing me problems. I will follow your advice and see how it goes. If I am still having problems, I will contact my Dr. My NUT quit the week before my surgery so I don't have someone to turn to with food questions.

I've also had nausea since week 3, at the same time i started missing the protonilx. Dr said drink regular Gatorade, juice and ginger ale. I got better til week 6, nausea returned. I woke up with it and it would get better during the day. Started back the protonix and so far no more nausea, been about 5 days. Nausea is common, and an acid reducer can help.

I was considering taking the prevacid again. But right now, the timer seems to be helping. And I haven't woke up nauseous in a couple of weeks. Something I definitely will try if it happens again. I really miss ginger ale. Do you drink it flat? My doctor said absolutely nothing carbonated.

I know how you feel I am nearly 7weeks out and been nauseous for a week if I eat or not, even having trouble with Water. I take anti reflux pills but is not helping. Couldn't get an app with the surgeon till next week, so went to my GP today he gave me anti nausea meds. I have not lost any weight this week either. Not hungry at all and don't care. (Well I do care). Hopefully the surgeon has some answers cause not loving myself right now.

My doctor said that Water is the worst beverage when nauseaus, it can make you nauseaus, then milk closely follows. The nurse told me to let it sit for awhile, but I had to get fluids in or I was going to end up dehydrated and in the hospital. I probably drink a cup a day. I still have my own rule about no carbonated beverages, except diet ginger ale... if I'm nauseas. The NUT and doctor both say it nausea is common for the first couple of months.

I had regular random nausea for about a month ( started around week 3). Water was the worst--no one told me that water was particularly hard! I discovered I could drink warm things (hot choc SF, apple cider SF) easier. Generally, the doc said it just happens like that some times, so I just kept saying it would pass, and one day a out week 6, it did! Hope that happens for you soon.

      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.
