Hi everyone,

I am two weeks post surgery and was wondering if anyone else is/has experienced almost constant nausea since the surgery. The nausea is getting worse instead of better over time. When I eat, the food tastes good and I can easily eat about a cup without any problems, in fact the only time I don't feel close to throwing up is when I eat.

I am not at all hungry (ok I have some head hunger), and I have to force myself to eat (never been a problem for me before). I also really have to concentrate to get about 8 glasses of Fluid in me every day. I have been writing down everything I eat and drink and estimate that I am getting between 500 - 700 calories a day.

Since the surgery, two weeks ago (September 25, 2007), I have lost 18 pounds (25 pounds if you want to count the 7 pounds I gained on the day of surgery). I have lost 12 pounds this last week alone.

I must admit I am not really concerned about the weight loss (only that I will gain it all back once I actually eat something).

Any advice?:help:

Well congrats on your fill. Wow 6cc's total and just your first fill. You will be sailing right along very soon. I too had 3 cc's in from surgery, I think most people do. Sorry guess I should have mentioned that but I didn't consider it to be restriction, did nothing for me anyway.

Yes, be sure to do those fluids after a fill for at least 24 hours, then gradually go to soft foods, etc. You'll be able to tell what you can tolerate pretty quickly. Just take it slow.

I'm glad you're feeling so great. Good comeback!

I'm at my 5th week today. I feel nausea off and on sometimes. In the past 3 or 4 days it has gotten worse, today especially. Today I felt if I move I'd be sick. My of my nausea starts as soon as I get up in the morning. I'm on pureed foods, but on Christmas Day and the next day I ate a few things without pureeing it, I chewed it up really good. I've been reading on some post even if you can eat differently than you are suppose to, don't do it, because it can cause problems later. I also, accidently swallowed gum a few days ago. I'm wondering if these things are causing me problems now. I've got a call into the nurse right now, but I'm waiting on them to call back now.
