Nausea on week 5

[JPM514 20]

Hello WLS community!

Hope you are all well!

I am 5 weeks post op. My surgery was May 11. I am finally on stage 5 based on my surgeons instructions.

But I have started to experience nausua again. On week 2 when I saw my surgeon she said it was because I wasn't drinking enough fluids. I fixed that and felt much better. Now I am experiencing it again. It started Tues. Maybe I was dehydrated Tues but now even though I keep drinking Water I still am feeling the nausea. It has slowed down my eating and trying new foods.

I wondered if my stomach was also not comfortable with my new foods I have been trying.

Did anyone experience this specifically in week 5. Note I went back to just eatings eggs, some yogurt, and trying to consume a lot of water. trying my best here. Would love to hear your experiences.

Thanks,

-Joe M.

Nausea can happen at any time, and for a huge variety of reasons.

I would suspect it was from one of the new foods, considering the timing. Go back to those foods that agree with you. If that doesn't fix it, then you'll want to explore other possibilities.

If it lasts more than a couple days, or gets severe, talk to your doc.

This is why we have the surgery. To be blunt, to have physical discomfort as a mental process to think about what we put in our mouths. Nausea is a blessing, I threw up once because I was doing so well I slow sipped some Bourbon and Water. It was too soon. I am also May 11, just like you. Being male, I constantly find our experiences differ from women a lot, and we generally have an easier time of the steps.
