I'm two weeks sleeved and started puréed phase on Saturday. I've been fine sticking to one thing at a time. I only had nausea my second day of being sleeved the whole day other then that one day I've been great, thank god. Well since yesterday I've been having horrible nausea it just comes and goes randomly I feel like I'm going to throw up. Did this happened to anyone in the second week? I see my doctor tomorrow. I'm not in pain or anything just discomfort because of the nausea.

Hi,

I had my surgery on December 10, 2013... the first two weeks I felt great... but now I am nausea and vomiting, the doctors have tried several things but I still nausea even when I take the medication for it and vomiting every few days. I see my doctor tomorrow also and I am going to ask for a CT, ultra sound or endo scope to find out if something is happening which medication won't help. I talked with several forums and one lady said it has been 10 months and she still isn't doing great. I somewhat upset because I am not sure if I made the right decision to have the sleeve. I hope things are going to be ok.

Nesa, that does not sound good....any chance you are dehydrated or constipated? How much Fluid are you getting in honey?

Call your med team asap....

I was constipated this weekend I took something and it helped. I'm taking in like 50oz of Water. Since the nauseated started yesterday I've only been in taking 30 grams of Protein a day for the. Like right now I feel fine it's just randomly but when I feel it's horrible. I was supposed to see the doctor yesterday but he called in sick =( so I'm scheduled for tomorrow.

Oh wow and you still have nausea I'm worried because I've been feeling great just the past two days nausea started =(. I hope it goes away soon for both of us and it's nothing major.

Silly question...but you don't think its being caused by anything else? The random nature seems a bit odd...

Have you made any changes to medicine, routines or exposure that could lend itself to this type of reaction?

Im really sorry and concerned to hear this...is your doc the only one in the practice? I would think they would want you seen immediately...

I was sleeved 12/16 and have been experiencing nausea for 2 days. I've been focusing less on food and more on liquids because I think my hydration is part of the problem. I picked up some fruit flavor Isopure and that has helped some. I hope it passes for all of us.

I went to the doctor today and he said it's just ketosis that everything is balancing out. He said it's perfectly normal. He asked if it happened's during or after I've doing house work, showering, cooking and it does I just realized that and he said yes it's normal. So we shall see how long this goes. This morning after my shower I had terrible nausea to where I felt shaky and had to sit for a little bit into it passed. Thank you all for your opinions and concerns.

I had my sleeve 18 Dec & my whole 3rd week was as above. Couldn't keep more than 15-20g Protein in a day and fluids via ice. After about 5-6 days it settled and I've been closer to my goals since. Dr said its normal as silly as it sounds transition from liquid to mush is pretty demanding on the stomach as its the first time it has to 'hold' anything after surgery. Some people take longer to adjust than others. But def light at the end of the tunnel - yay for being able to shower without passing out! ;)

      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.
