I was sleeved on 06/15 so it's been over one month. Eating still hurts my stomach and makes me nauseous every time. Drinking is the same but not as bad. Weight is coming off fine which I am so thankful for. Just a little concerned about why when I eat anything after one bite, it hits my stomach and pain and nausea are immediate. Is this part of the normal healing process?

Nope. That's not normal. Or at least it wasn't for me.

I had the same issue. My doctor prescribed two meds for me that worked immediately. One was an anti-nauseousness pill and the other was a med that kept my stomach from cramping when food hit it. That second one was the one that gave me back my ability to eat a bit more comfortably. Until I started it, I threw up every time I ate anything.

Ask your doctor!

Thank you! I will be seeing my Dr on the 23rd and will make sure to let him know.

I didn't feel normal when I ate for many months after surgery...maybe around 6-8 or so. I wasn't in terrible pain, but there was a lot of discomfort. I was also nauseous (but not vomiting, just ill feeling) a lot of time after eating. Mostly I described it as a Blech/Blah/Ugh feeling. It was physically unpleasant and emotionally exhausting. Some days were better than others. Gradually things for me began to normalize and now at 13 months post-op I feel fine.

It takes awhile to heal. You are only one month out. Talk to your nut and see if there are any meds to try, or if it's just a wait-and-heal thing.

Good Luck in your journey!

I def. do not have the same symptoms. Sorry to hear that. I was sleeved on 06/26 and I can drink water easily and protein drinks no problem. I would think that's not normal but my doc also gave me Zofran for nausea when I need but have not. Sorry to hear about your word. Good luck with your appointment.

@@LipstickLady - I'm curious if you had to take these meds long term or if it was, hopefully, a shirt term solution. Still struggling with quite a bit nausea off and on myself and while Zofran helps, I'm hoping this is temporary

Zofran was the one pill I took and the anti-cramping pill started with an R, I believe. I took both for about my first 4-5 months and then tapered off to no pills at all.

OK good to hear! Thank you!

Was it Raglan

Not sure to be honest. It was for cramping not for reflux.

The 10th of July was my one month anniversary and I am happy that I only average about 3-4 oz per meal, I've had some of the foods that I missed, like last night I had trout and oysters, but I threw out the fries, ate the oysters and ate only one fillet yesterday and today, and have one left for lunch tomorrow, tonight I made my family and a guest Stir fried chicken w/ snow peas, and white rice( my midlife crisis gift was a Wok) and I had a 4 oz portion and left about 1oz on the plate, that is the greatest feeling in the world for me !!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info. I appreciate your letting me know it may just be part of the healing process. Your description is very close to the UGH feeling I always have so we will see what the Dr says.

Anyone crushing all pills bigger than a tic tac? Even the Pepcid??

Yes for the first couple weeks I crushed all my meds in a spoon. It was a pain. After two weeks I went back to work and tried taking them whole and it was fine. No issues.
