I am going through this as well. My surgery was October 15. I did fine for a couple weeks then all of a sudden everything made me sick. Just the smell of food or coffee in my office had me nauseous. I called my Nutritionist, she asked if I had changed anything besides her food advancement, I had stopped taking my esophageal spasms meds; along with pain meds. She said that I needed to keep taking the spasm meds while I introduce food. It's like a whole new plumbing system. It helped some, I can handle smells and food a little better. But still always feel just a little off. Good luck. I sure hope this subsides quickly.

You may need a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) to reduce the acids in your stomach. Something over the counter like Omeprazole (Prilosec). I took that every day for like 6 months.

Excess acid can cause all sorts of stomach upset - nausea, feelings of hunger.

I got Prilosec but it says only take it for 14 days at a time and not less than four months apart. How were you able to take it everyday for so long?

I was told to go buy it (Omeprazole) the over the counter and take it once daily because I was having acid reflux and felt nausous. I got it at Target, but saw it also at Walgreens and the like. I kept taking it until my 6 month appointment and they told me to try coming off it at that point, and I did then with no issues.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
