well guys i hadnt been on the site since my surgery on dec 6,2010-i am almost a month into now and even though i have lost 40lbs i am miserable-i am not able to eat anything, even liquids are still hard for me and i live nauseated-i wanted to be so positive about this but i feel so bad that its hard to keep a good attitude-i see my dr on jan 5 so i hope he will tell me it will get better-any advice

Yes it will get better, the first couple of weeks are the hardest. The first 2 weeks I would say I actually wanted to die and I cried everyday but now I'm 8 weeks out and I soooo love my sleeve and would do it all over again

It will get better!

I was sleeved on Dec 6th as well. I am sorry you are having so many problems. I just started mushy foods. Everyone is different and every surgeon is different with rules. I hope your doctor gives you some additional tips on the 5th. Are you still taking or have you taken any anti-nausea medicine? You WILL NOT feel this way forever. It's just one of those bumps in the road.

Good luck and keep us informed.

Ask you doctor for some medication for nausea.

Make sure you start the day with something warm. Warm things relax the stomach and make it easier for things to go down.

It does get easier, but unfortunately, for some people , it just takes a little bit longer.

Also, make sure you are taking a PPI for the acid. I forgot to take mine this morning and I felt sick to my stomach!

I'm sorry you are having a difficult time. Hang in there. I'm sure things will get much better soon.

Well, I'm having a different problem - I got my sleeve on 12/1. I feel great, but I haven't lost much weight. Only 14 pounds since surgery. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm discouraged, and wondering if it's working as well as it should. Am I doing something wrong?
