Have you talked to your Dr? Are you on Zofran or Transderm-Scop? Have you been evaluated that you don't have a complication like a stricture?

I just saw doc monday and talked to him today

yes, gave me zonfran. But he didn’t want me to take it unless necessary

concerned it could mask

im 5 weeks Friday.

he told me to go back to stage 1.liquids.

i threw up 2 times today

said I could have irritated sleeve

i need to calm the sleeve down

I leaned not to take Vitamins on empty stomach

it sucks, I follow the directions, and am having issues. I know it’s not an exact science

if I continue like this, I’ll end up in hospital like last week.

If you’re starting to feel queasy that is when you should take the zofran. You risk serious dehydration otherwise.

I hope you turn the corner shortly. I struggled with nausea and vomiting, spent over a week in the hospital due to it. I’m very cautious about what I eat. I also discovered I just cannot tolerate artificial sweeteners and am very sensitive to certain things now. I’m extra careful and tend to stick with what i know is safe. I hope you find what will work for you. Once you get through this life is much better :)

I used these anti nausea Patches (see link below), all natural, and they worked well for me. Put it behind your ear. At this point you might as well try anything. Give them a shot. They are only $13

I have the opposite problem to you. I can eat a TON and I am 5 weeks post op and worried I wasted my money and that I will be eating like before the surgery very soon.

If you are vomiting a lot and not keeping fluids down you should get some electrolytes too. You could get dehydrated very very easily if you are unable to keep food down. This one is great. See link

Bajan this is kind of concerning. Should you really be able to eat a 'ton' only 5 weeks out? I'm 7 weeks out and can still only manage about 2-3 tablespoons of (real) food at a time. By real I mean not chips or ice cream or anything like that, which is supposed to go down easier. What did your doc say?

@Purple girl I was about 4.5 weeks maybe 5 weeks out and I started to get really nauseous, I've been pregnant twice so it did feel like morning sickness. I didn't vomit much, mostly constantly dry heaving. But the nausea was relentless, they have me Zofran and didn't seem too concerned. I saw my PCP, she gave me compazine cause the Zofran didn't work, then we tried one other med. My nausea lasted about maybe 2 weeks, then went away. I have no idea what brought it on, but they didn't tell me to go back to liquids I just kinda did on my own. Hopefully it will be like mine and just pass. I regretted my sleeve for awhile because of that, but not anymore.

thanks!!!

i went to doc today. They did in fact push me back to liquids and yogurt till I see then tuesday

if nasaua is better, then I’ll move on again.

they want to make sure there is nothing wrong

he thinks it could be a combo of irritation stomach and I was talking to one of the girls who work there, she had it. She said I may not be eating enough and getting naseau from no food in stomach

she said to get mint oil. I did. She said to put on my wrist. Also warm liquids over cold, and just to keep sipping Protein Shake.

im gonna try that

I have to be honest, I really havnt ate all that much

oh, he also tailed back on Vitamins, till Tuesday

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
