Needing some advice on your experience. I am 8 days post op and 23lb down yay BUT today I woke up feeling super sick and have felt it all day. I felt this way 5 days post op but it went away during the day. I'm trying not to freak out that something is wrong but I can't help panic. Did anyone else experience this? Thanks

We need more details. Sick how? Fever? Pain? Vomiting? Tiredness?

Nausea is really common. Not everyone gets it. You might mention it to your team and they can make recommendations as to what to take. Also, take note of changes in diet to see if there was a trigger.

Good luck, hope you feel better!

How bad is the nausea? Is it mild or severe? Did your surgeon prescribe you any anti nausea meds? Mild nausea is common but if it is severe you need to call your surgeon.

I can relate to your nausea, I was severely nauseated for 3 weeks, took zofran twice daily, had a patch behind my ear and compazine if needed. Had to drink slow, but it got better, now I'm not nauseated. It does get better. Some of the Protein Shakes were so sweet and sickly, good luck.

Thanks everyone. Ended up in ED this morning as I was having pain in my chest and shoulder and rapid heart. Turns out I have a blood clot in my spleen all is ok though hopefully it doesn't spread as already killed 1/3 of my spleen.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
