Problems integrating new foods and constant nauseaa



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery on 7/15 of 2014. I am losing weight, however I am struggling with nausea and vomiting. I also have a lot of trouble integrating new foods into my diet. The other problem I have is dizziness and overall weakness. I am very concerned that I will never return to health and that maybe the sleeve was a mistake for me. I just want to feel better. This situation is making me very depressed at times.

What kind of surgery did you get? Are you getting enough Water and Protein? According to my NUT instructions, when you introduce new foods, only try one new food that day and a very tiny amount-- 1 or 2 thimblefuls.

If that doesn't help, I suggest you call your surgeon's office.

I have had a lot of problems with nausea too. I was sleeved on October 27. That's almost 6 weeks ago and I can't keep anything but Water and hot tea down. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello my brother had the sleeve October 20 and has been in and out of the er he is nauseous and throws up constantly can't keep any food down. I am so sad for him he was overall healthy just over weight he regrets every moment of having the surgery it has made him unhealthy and depressed and he is in fear that he is going to die. They have him in meds for pain and nausea but nothing is helping him. I am scared for him will this pass they checked every thing and can not find any complications which I am thankful for is this just something you go through or is it going to be life long? I am so worried for him any information that any one can share would be amazing. God bless all of you and I pray those who are suffering from complications a speedy recovery.

Yes he is @@BeagleLover they just keep putting him on iv and giving him pain killers and have put him on anti depressants. They discharged him yesterday and when he got home all he did was throw up and sleep he can't even open his eyes today. I am so worried and scared. I am not understanding what is going on. :(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
