5 weeks out and still dry heaving



Recommended Posts

Hey, just wanted to touch base and let everyone know things are looking up. I'm still having dry heaves 5-7 times a day. Has anyone experienced this? My food stays down, just spit comes up. Had my sleeve checked yesterday and it was fine. Any suggestions.

my entire post just vanished! -- try to recreate:

I don't think it's normal, but I'm only 4 weeks out -- I'm not a long-term sleever. The first thing that comes to my mind is perhaps it's acid reflux?? I get acid reflux especially in the evenings and right after I eat -- my dr. said it was okay to take an additional Nexium until my stomach's acids calm down.

What did your dr. say?? I'm so sorry this is happening -- I would make another appointment and let your dr. know what is going on (and I know you did, but I think you need some answers!)

Hugs!

I dont dry heave but i usually throw up every time I eat. I am five weeks out also,And am still trying to find that fine line of when to stop eating. I dont get a full feeling I get a pressure feeling like somthing is stuck. the more I wait and try to swallow the worse it gets. I ususally throw up spit more than anything. I just have to keep working and figuring out what my amount is

Try measuring your food and try just eating 2 oz. at a time. I sometimes try to keep it to 2 oz but certain things I seem to get in 4. But I measure everything because I am so scared of eating one bite too much.

UGH I HATE THIS FEELING!! this is exactly what I experience, you just have to measure your food. (I was taught to always clear my plate and I can see what aweful thing that was!) I always measure and my sleeve may be okay with that but other times its just too much. I am working on 1 TBSP less than 1/4 cup for each meal 3x day. Good luck!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
