I was just sleeved on the 12th and had very little nausea. Good luck! It's a wild ride. [emoji4]

I've always been predisposed to nausea for some reason and coming up to 4 weeks post-op, I've probably had 4-5 bad bouts of nausea if I've eaten too quickly or if I haven't eaten enough. I was also on antibiotics for a UTI last week which didn't help my constitution. I haven't thrown up yet though - I've just become really good at sitting still or lying down until the icky feeling passes.

Told my doctor I was the most worried about the nausea. They put an anti-nausea patch behind my ear the morning of my surgery. I felt a bit queasy a couple of times sitting up in a chair the first few times. The only time I threw up is when I coughed unexpectedly and that caused the Water I had been sipping to come up. Other than that I've been fine. I have had sublingual anti-nausea medication prescribed and took one of them at home as a precaution the first time I took my pain medication but I haven't felt the need to take it since. I've been super careful not to sip too much. I'm only a few days post op, so it remains to be seen whether I develop nausea later.

No nausea at all. Also had the anti nausea patch and it works for 3 days. I think that is what helped me because I have always had nausea from surgery. I am 3.5 weeks out and still no nausea. I hope to keep it that way!

I'm only one week out but I've only had nausea maybe 3 or 4 times and it passed quickly. I also had the nausea patch behind my ear for 3 days post op.

I was really bad and had 3 days hospital on 4 different IV anti emetics. I'm always bad with anaesthetic. BUT....as soon as I got home it was gone and it didn't ruin things for me in any way. You soon forget about it. Like giving birth!

I was so worried about nausea, but only had one second of it when I tried to get out of bed too quickly after surgery. I was amazed at how little pain and really no nausea, just sore in stomach area.

I was never nauseated after surgery. When I started my Vitamins I began to experience it. I learned to take them as soon as I ate. They are dissolvable.

My nausea was very mild. They have me two Meds through IV and sent me home with a prescription which I am taking to prevent any nausea. The woman in my hospital room was also sleeved by my surgeon same day and was puking her guts out. They gave her extra stuff including the patch but she was miserable. I think it is very individualized.

WARM LiQUIDS!!!!!!!!!!!

I had some major nausea in the middle of the night directly following my surgery. They gave me Zofran, but that didn't help either. The following morning I got to drink my first liquid, and I chose hot tea. It helped with the nausea almost immediately. Today I am one week out, and I've only had one other bout of nausea. It only lasted for about 20 mins. I took a Zofran and drank warm broth. I think the warm liquids help the most with nausea. The big culprit for nausea is getting your pouch full of mucus (for me it's a post-nasal drip thing). The warm liquids help that mucus to pass through. I drink something hot every morning and every night.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
