I feel like I have severe morning sickness

[Kim61811 0]

I had my Gastric Sleeve Surgery on June 18 so I am just a few weeks out. I am suppose to be eating soft foods and I am, though it is a struggle to eat as much as has been recommended. My biggest hurdle right now is how awful I feel for about an hour or two when I first get up. I feel nauseated, hot, dizzy.... just like a hangover or morning sickness. I really have to push myself to get something in my stomach. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Sounds like low blood sugar.

Could you drink some juice as soon as you get up and see if that helps? You could even keep it next to the bed so you don't have to go far.

Are you taking a PPI? Acid can make you feel horrible and if you are not taking Nexium, Prilosec, Zegrid, Aciphex or something, you really should ask your dr. for some!

I'm taking Prevacid morning and night, it seems that between those, Multi Vitamins, and another perscription I have to take, I am full half the day just from them, even when I spread them out. I'll be happy when I can get more food in. I should be eating more soft foods now and I can tolerate most anything, not nearly as much as I have heard people describe. One scrambled egg is too much. It takes me all day to get in a Protein Shake.< /p>

FWIW the PPI's made me extremely nauseous

You will be able to eat and drink more the further out you go. Getting your liquids in at this point is challenging. That is why it is imerative that if nothing else, you drink your fluids, even if you can't eat!!! Drink WATER!!!

Don't take your Vitamins on an empty stomach, that will make you feel sick too!! My Vitamins were making me horribly sick and I didn't understand why!! That was it! I started eating first and then I was fine. You might also want to try eating before you take any pills, maybe your sleeve is just super sensitive.

Are you alergic to milk? Maybe the Protein drinks are agreeing with you?? Theses are all things for you to take into consideration. If you aren't drinking enough, the nausea could also be because you are dehydrated. Be careful with that!! SIP SIP SIP!!

If you don't get better, call your dr.
