I am going to be completely honest in this post... The other day I posted that Water is making me nauseous, which it still is but now I'm getting nauseous even after I eat! I'm not measuring my food, I'm not taking small bites, and I'm definitely eating quickly out of habit. I have not vomited once but this nauseous is killing me. Could it be from not eating carbs? I'm really hating this.

Could something be wrong?

Have you added any flavor drops to your plain Water and or switched to an already flavored water like propel or Vitamin water. If I drink too much plain water I will stay slightly nauseous all day and I am 21 months post op.

As long as your blood sugar isn't dropping too low it is probably not from low carbs. If I were you I would try measuring your food and taking tiny tiny bites while chewing slowly. When I was newly post op I weighed and measured everything. I also ate with a toddler spoon to keep my bites small until it became a habit. That might help with the nausea.

How far post op are you?

I am two weeks and two days post op.

I have a very hard time drinking anything with fake sugar or flavor. I added lemon to my Water and instead of nausea I had intense reflux. I need to eat slower and measure for sure.

Are you taking a PPI?

There are so many variables here, it's kinda hard to sort out. I'm two weeks postop and all I can handle are Clear liquids. You may need to back off a bit - it's frustrating, but just cause your doc says you can have something doesn't mean your sleeve is ready to process it.

Hope you find your answer soon, nausea is miserable.

Well You said you're not measuring, not taking small bites, and eating fast. That's probably your answer right there. I know everyone's program is different but your program probably said to eat slowly, take small bites, and to chew chew chew your food. Why don't you try actually doing that and see if it helps

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
