I had lap band on August 6th and everything was fine until yesterday morning. I felt nauseous in the morning after I had my slim fast, I didn't vomit but thought I was going to, that evening about 6 pm I got nauseous again, then again about midnight. I am feeling kind of sick today. I don't know if this is cause for concern. I had a little bit of applesauce, that my doctor said was ok. I took a couple of bites and felt nauseous. I stopped eating and it settled down and then after a few minutes I tried it again and I was ok. My stomach feels touchy today. I drank my Protein Shakes today and it seemed ok. I have not had my first fill yet.

Has anyone ever experienced this? Is it cause for concern?

It doesn't sound like a band problem to me...maybe you just have a bug you're fighting off? Are you drinking enough Water? Sometimes when I get a little dehydrated it can make me feel a little nauseated. I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you so much, I went to the zoo yesterday and didn't drink many fluids so you are probably right. I hadn't even thought of dehydration. I started drinking more fluids and the nausea seems to be disappearing. Thank you for answering this, I appreciate it so much.

I was banded last Tuesday and had been doing fine until Friday during the night, when I got really bad nausea. I had nothing to drink or eat before I went to bed so I could not figure it out. After reading your posts I wonder if it was because I went to the store and did a lot of walking on Friday and did not drink enough liquids. Was not aware that could cause nausea. I am going to change that right now and start drinking, drinking, drinking. That is the only problem I have had and I don't want it again.

Thanks for the advice.

It is always important to get your liquids in, but much moreso in those first weeks after surgery. Your body fluids, sugars, etc. are swinging back and forth and you have to really nurture yourself with Protein and fluids constantly. Your body is in the process of trying to heal, which takes energy, and your resources are being depleted. Get in the habit of carrying a bottle of Water with you everywhere you go. I have one permanently in my car, one by my couch, one by my bed and one by my computer...at all times.

I had nausea that was caused by residual effects of anesthesia.

It FINALLY went away after about a month. Until then, it was rough!

      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.
