Hey, don't get frustrated. We have all been at this point, for me more than once. LOL. You will start back to losing sometimes your body is fighting the change trying to go into "survival" mode, but after a few weeks of adjusting to the amount of food it is receiving the weight begins to start again. I was sleeved Aug 2010, started at 230 today I am at 160 and my goal is 155, so almost there. Keep the faith, it will get better. Lia

I am having similar issues with my sleeve. I have daily nausea, regardless of what I eat, when I eat or how I eat. I have tried everything, I take my nexium everyday and drink plenty of water. I have been sleeved about 4 months now, and I just pray this horrible feelings goes away. I thought by now, the nausea and vomiting would be over, but it is still occuring.

Ok, I don't know any other way to describe this feeling other than constant nausea. My stomach just feels horrible. NO matter what I eat or drink, I get the same outcome. Even when I don't eat I get the same outcome, I have taken Nexium, tums, maalox, Nothing helps, can someone please tell me why I feel this CONSTANT NAUSEA AND HOW DO I GET PASS THIS FEELING. This has been going on for about a week or so and I wake up with this feeling and go to sleep with this feeling, I don't know what to do, please help. Lia

Ok everyone, today makes 1 month, and I still have to run to the bathroom everytime I EAT!!! Each time I pray that it stays down but like clockwork a few minutes later up it comes. I am taking prilisec twice a day, I am eating small bites, I am not drinking and eating at the same time. I know it is suppose to get better with time, but I just want to eat 1 decent meal without the mad dash to the bathroom!!! Any suggestions? Lia

Go to the hospital, you should not be still on your period after all this time. Loserlia

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on the 27 of sept, I guess we all have issues with food. I can only stomach liquids such as clear broth, egg drop Soup (that i hated before the surgery), V8 splash and Vitamin Water. I can't even keep water down if i am thirsty and drink it too fast. I have what seems like heartburn every day. I am downing tums, take nexium 40mg (twice a day) and I still have acid reflux, please help!!!!! What am I DOING WRONG. LL

Thanks so much, its been a little over 3 weeks and I still am on mostly fluids and can't even do veggies or overcooked food, i am going to start taking my pepcid ac morning and evening instead of the nexium and see how that works, i cant wait to eat a few shrimp or a crab leg cluster, seafood is my weakness. Take care

Hey, Well I was banded 27 Sept and the majority of my pain was in the lower stomach (big incision) as well. My doctor told me Its normal to have this type of pain as my body has to heal. But it should not be so painful that you are unable to walk or do anything. I was still able to move away fairly easy and accomplish everything that I needed to do. I am recovering quite fast, only issue I have is acid reflux and when i try do stomach crunches, cramps in my stomach, ouch they hurt, but hopefully you will feel better soon, but if you're worried do go to your doctor, don't jeopardize your health. take care

Thank you so much for your response, so I have a one more question for you. Do you take prescription strength prilosec or over the counter? thanks for the advice

I have the same problem, my doctor told me to keep eating them, so I guess as long as you are not gaining any weight or getting dehydrated we should be ok

I am with you, got sleeved on 27 Sept and am on full liquid phase now. It is hard trying to remember cant drink water fast, can't have it after meal or its all coming back up. Lots of new rules to learn
