I also got nauseous at around week 4, to a point where I was taking pregnancy tests. It took a few weeks to die down.

Hope it subsided for you soon.

Nerves Sweetness they will just tell you nerves. Slather on hydrocort,or Benadryl cream, calm down and believe. This too will soon pass and joy comes in the morning!👍😛👍

Purple Girl, sorry you are feeling so bad. The mint oil will help also if you rub a little on your abdomen just not on your surgery sites. You are probably stressed out to try some lavender oil on your wrist and behind your ears it helps relax you. You can also mix 4 or5 drops in a spray bottle (6 to 8 oz water) and spray it on your pillows before bed.
Feel better soon

Do you take a daily PPI, Purple? If not, it might help. I know it made my nausea 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.

@BajanSleeve You stated, "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."

You might end up being revised to the duodenal switch (DS) if you end up discovering the sleeve isn't enough. Sounds like you might need the malabsorption component. Those with a higher BMI do better on the DS than the sleeve.

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

I had that issue, when I forced myself to eat, even a Protein Shake or something like yogurt and then a little more solid stuff my nausea stared to get better. It seemed like when I ate dinner, which was my only real solid food, it was the best I felt all day. I'm not saying you should do that but it worked for me, funny how it randomly came on on week 4 ish. Totally sucks but I'm zooming towards my goal. Getting close to halfway there!

      April Surgery
      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.

      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.
