Almost 5 weeks out and feeling constantly nauseous



Recommended Posts

So I started on soft foods... and ever since I have been so nauseous like morning sickness lasting all day. TMI after 3 months finally got my period. My body just feels terrible overall feeling weak, so emotional, and tired. I am trying to be active but when I walk and such my heart starts to race like crazy. Idk if it is just me everyone I know seems to be doing fine post-surgery, but I've been struggling bad. I don't even care about losing weight at this point I just want to feel better. Even drinking Water is hard, its like I am regressing rather than progressing. anyone else experience this?

My surgery was 3/18 and yes I've been experiencing the same thing. I've started on soft foods and cannot tolerate much. I stick to shakes, creamed Soups with milk, yogurt and chicken salad. I vomit almost everything else up. It's really hard to eat anything honestly. I've had nausea lately also, mostly in the morning. My energy is starting to get a little better. I get very dizzy when I stand up and now I'm getting a really bad fluttering in my chest. It has been getting better - very sloooowly though lol. I just keep reminding myself to be patient.

I am 3 weeks post op and I have had that same feeling the past week two weeks. The dr just keeps telling me to eat or drink slower. I am taking tiny sips and drinking slow. I feel so nauseous that I am not getting my recommended Protein or Water because I feel so sick. The dr finally prescribed me some anti nausea pills, which have helped some. Hoping you find relief soon, not feeling well sucks!

Hi. I had my surgery on April 9 and ever since I have been drinking the 2 shakes a day I feel nauseous before I finish and sometimes don’t finish. It takes like an hour to subside, and I also have trouble drinking my Water because of this feeling. I still feel weak and run down which makes my walking goal each day hard to reach. I just want to feel some energy again. Hope you are feeling better.

So maybe part of the weakness could be not enough Protein? ?
Get better soon

Are you guy's possibly losing too fast from not enough calories taken in that can cause you to be dehydrated. Which causes weakness, nausea and tiredness. Be careful and keep your Dr.in the loop.Don't think you are being a nuisance or a whinner.
Take care of yourself

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
