I'm so discouraged right now. I am a month out of my surgery and everything makes me nauseous. I can keep liquid down fine, but any kind of food makes me want to gag. Is this normal. I feel like I made such a horrible mistake getting this surgery.

you want to repost this in the post surgery questions forum.

It is pretty normal. I wasn't even on solid food at 4 weeks. I would say it took me until more like 6-8 weeks out before I felt better. Then, I had months of just zero interest in food - like eating was a chore. That is what helped me lose over 150#. It does get better in time, I am over 2 years out now and feel great and have for a long time.

You will get more input and feedback if you post this in a separate thread in the post surgery forum though!

Hang in there.

@srivers76 it is normal, but you need to call your doctor to get something to take to ease the discomfort...it will pass...but right now, you are feeling miserable, so CALL!!!

Also ginger helps with nausea...you can get tablets/capsules in the Vitamin aisle, or add fresh ginger to some of your Protein drinks...the taste is pretty mild... I've heard that if you put a slice in your mouth and just hold it for a few minutes, it helps; but I haven't tried it... but yes, you should post to the regular forum to get more assistance, but really the bottom line is, call your doctor, as it may also be that you are not getting in enough liquids and may be dehydrated, which causes nausea as well

Good luck...it will work out! Promise!
