Unable to feel nauseous after sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I have never felt nauseous since getting the sleeve, I thought I have just been real lucky and not gotten ill since my surgery. However today I have felt off all day,, dizzy, weak, heart pounding but I did not put much thought to it. Then tonight this pressure started in my stomach, I felt it contracting and so I thought well I will try to get sick and sure enough up came everything. The weird thing is I did not feel nausea, just pressure and contracting. Has anyone else lost the feeling of nausea from this surgery?

Out of curiosity...how has the weather been in Chicago? Has it been hot the last few days? Are you drinking enough? It almost sounds like you're getting an electrolyte imbalance.

The pressure and contracting after I eat is what I get if something doesn't agree with me. My tummy roils around enough I have to undo my pants. One time I threw up a bunch of slimy stuff for about 15 minutes, but every other time, the discomfort goes away within 10 minutes or so.

I felt the sudden "I' gonna heave" feeling twice in the week after surgery, but not since. My tummy feels "a bit off" most of the time anymore. I think it's still healing (surgery May 17 included a small hiatial hernia repair).

You know you maybe on to something there,, I had cramps in my feet when I work up that morning!

Last week, I ate something too fast and didn't feel my "full" signal and what you experienced happened to me. It wasn't nausea, but I had to expell whatever wasn't going into my stomach (and surprisingly that's all that came up, just that little bit).

Should I have felt nauseaus? I don't know. I've thrown up without nausea before surgery so it's hard to say that the sensation has been completely removed. But I have no problem interpreting what I am feeling as "something's coming up soon, get ready".

I havne't felt nausea since surgery but I can't say that I felt it much before surgery either.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
