What is your experience with drinking tea, like peppermint tea, after the first weeks of the gastric sleeve surgery? Can it cause a nausea, vomiting and foamies? What about slimy saliva? Which teas can cause some problems for you?

I was drinking green tea a few days after surgery without issue (the heat was soothing) but we’re all different. Sometimes our healing tummies just don’t like something & will let you know pretty quickly. Take a break from the peppermint tea & see how you go. All because you can’t tolerate it now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to drink it in the future. You could also try an alternative herbal tea & see how you go.

Are you eating/drinking anything else or taking meds before you vomit, have nausea, etc? It could be something else that is upsetting you.

How far out from surgery are you? I had a lot of salvia the first few days because of swelling (carried a vomit bag with me everywhere).

If it persists give your medical team a call.

Good luck.

peppermint can soothe nausea in some people and cause heartburn in others. It could be the culprit - or maybe not. As Arabesque said, maybe lay off it for a few days and see what happens.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
