    Gurgling stomach

    I am five months out and my stomach lets me know everything I eat by making a noise. I asked my doc and he said it is normal. I often think others can hear it, but I am sure it is just my imagination thinking it is that loud

    May sleevers

    I was 389 at my first office visit. Lost 25 pounds pre surgery. I was sleeved on May 6th. I am now down to 274 for a total lost since the beginning of my journey of 115 pounds!

    Does anyone regret it?

    @1Day1Life4Now Yes, I have tried Reglan, that is one of the medinces I am currently on along with Zofran, and Levsin. I tried Carafate as well, but that didnt seem to help.

    Does anyone regret it?

    @@blondebomb My surgeon(s), both of them, are very well aware of my situation. They have prescribed several different anti nausea pills, GERD pills, anti spasmodic pills. The only one that seems to work recently has been the antispasmodic pill, but it makes me really tired. I have had an upper GI as well as an endoscopy, all before my three months were even up. All tests come back positive showing nothing wrong, which is quite frustrating as well. I almost wish they would find something to prove I am not crazy.

    Thanks Cowgirl Jane for your support and words of wisdom. I have my surgeon(s), a gastroenterologist and the NUT all on top of my case checking in all the time. I have them all baffled. I just pray for an end in sight. I want no regrets, but I can't say that right now. But with my friends here, I know anything is possible. Thanks for being one of them!

    Nausea

    I am three months out and have extreme nausea still. I can't get in my required Protein or liquids due to nausea.

    Drinking during meals

    I have major issues not drinking during meals. I find it almost impossible to not drink during a meal. But when I do drink during a meal, I find I can't eat as much and sometimes it even causes pain.

    My situation is a little bit different. I am almost three months out (sleeved 5/6/14) and have been nauseous ever since. Barely eat any food and have trouble getting in my liquid requirement, everything makes me sick. I regret my decision 1 million percent due to circumstances. I am losing weight rapidly, but being sick all the time, really can't enjoy my new found weight loss. This has resulted in depression and major body fatigue as well. So, like I said, I am not typical by any means, but given the choice, knowing what I know now, I would never EVER do it again.

    Nausea & Vomiting

    I totally regret having this surgery based on my nausea and ill feelings daily. What kind of motion sickness pills did you take and do they make you sleepy?

    Where are all my May Sleevers?

    I was sleeved on may 6th and and nauseous to this day! Unbearable some days. Doctor's say I am an unusual case being nauseous for so long, but I am seeing on here that I am not the only one. I am down 42 pounds since the surgery. Hardly ever hungry and just eat because I have too, often regretting it, because I end up feeling sick afterwards. I am on Zofran, Prevacid and Reglan, none really seem to get rid of the nausea. Getting depressed, regretting having the surgery done.

    Nausea & Vomiting

    I am 2 months out and experience nausea on a daily basis and it drives me nuts. I am on Zofran and Reglan for the nausea in addition to Prevacid, nothing really seems to work. I might have to try the motion sickness tablets.....thanks for the suggestion.
  12. The doctor changed my GERD medicine from omerprazole to Prevacid, and that has helped ease the nausea some. I am also on Zofran and Reglan. Combined they are working to get rid of the nausea as it is not as bad as it was, but it is still there and frustrating. I am down 33 pounds since May6th and 58 pounds counting the preop diet.
  13. I was sleeved on May 6th and really had virtually no post op pain. I was up and walking almost right out of recovery. My problem is nausea, I just can't get rid of the nausea. Nothing helps. Having trouble getting in all my liquids and my Protein too. It is just a lot to handle all at once. I was down 13 pounds my first week, and I have not weighed myself since. Anyone else having the nausea issues?
  14. I am still having nausea and I am 12 days out. Nothing I eat really makes me feel better. Is this normal?
  15. Well, I am two days post op. Still swollen and mild pain, but doing much better. Having a hell of a time getting in my liquids and Protein as I am just not hungry. Plus I have been drinking too fast and causing pain. How is everyone else doing?
