I have been struggling with intermittent severe nausea during the 18 months after WLS. My weight last month dipped to 117.6, but now I am back to 120.6. Every time I have had an extended bout of nausea, which has lasted days, my weight drops because I have trouble eating even 50% of my necessary daily calories.
My nutritionist has me drinking Ensure Plus when I can't eat, eating creamy soups, oatmeal, avocado, nuts, and other healthy fatty foods. She also said I should have a small meal before bedtime each night. I need to stabilize my weight so that I hover around 124-125 lbs. But we can't figure out why I'm having prolonged nausea and how to remedy it.
So far, I have not tested as having malnutrition. I take vitamins daily. My one concern is that I am a bit protein deficient right now even though I take protein supplements every day.
