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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
