I had my sleeve on 9/9 and was fine the first week. Now, I am nauseated every morning and can not keep anything down until around noon. The thought of my protein makes me gag.

Anyone else have this problem?

Are you still taking any pain meds? They are typically the biggest culprits. Drinking water too quickly can also exacerbate any nauseous feelings. The morphine in the hospital made me more miserable, and they kept prodding me to hit the button even though I was feeling no pain. However, you may in fact be one of the lucky people whose taste buds may be completely changing!

Are taking pepcid or another acid controlling medication? There was only one morning I woke up nauseous because I had fallen asleep without taking it the night before. Just a thought.

I DON'T KNOW IF I HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT I WAS FURTHER INTO MY JOURNEY WHEN I FELL INTO HAVING SEVERE NAUSEA EVERY SINGLE WAKING MORNING. IT GOT SO BAD THAT I HATED WAKING UP, AND I GOT SEVERELY DEPRESSED. I WILL MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT THAT I WAS THAT WAY FOR A COUPLE MONTHS STRAIGHT AND THEN ONE MORNING I WOKE UP AND WAS FINE EVERY MORNING SINCE THEN. IT WAS THE WORST THING EVER AT THE TIME BUT NOW IT IS A DISTANT MEMORY. YOU WILL BE JUST FINE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!

I was on omeprazole for a month after surgery. A week or two after stopping it, I started getting nauseated, experienced heartburn and threw up a few times. Called my surgeon's office and they put me back on the omeprazole and said to continue for three months.

I did for sure and it was caused by the protein shakes! When I ate soups that I added unflavored injury powder, though, I was fine. I've come to discover if it's meal replacement protein shakes vs. protein only shakes I'm ok. It's the added vitamins that made me nauseous. I have to be really selective with the vitamins I take too. Some make me throw up within minutes of taking them.

vitamins are tough for me too. I just purchased the multivitamin transdermal patches that were delivered this morning! Yay! One thing to not have to take orally!

I had a problem with the milky protein shakes and found that Unjury chicken soup is delicious and much easier to digest. I heard that people can develop lactose intolerance after the surgery.
