OMG! Nausea, dry heaves, and more... proceed with caution...

[Pagie 64]

I had a very frightening episode with nausea 2 day. I had an overwhelming case of nausea that made it difficult 2 swallow my own spit, followed by the wrenching with dry heaves and then the throwing up of mucus. What the heck is this about? Now I'm petrified to eat. Keep in mind I'd eaten a few hours prior. I'm post op 6 1/2 weeks.

It helps if you can figure out what triggered the nausea. For me right out after surgery the Protein Shakes made me ill. Also....wierd but if I take my Vitamins in the am with coffee they go down fine. Afternoon they make me hurl????Not sure why. What were you eating when the nausea struck? Might want to avoid it for now??? Also....the mucusy thing was better for me (right after surgery....now no prob) if I drank more had less problems with excess mucus. That got better for me about month 2. Good luck!

I'm 8 weeks out and have had one incident with nausea unrelated to food, but I was going in for outpatient surgery that morning, so I attributed it to nerves. I know, though, that taking a Vitamin with Iron on an empty stomach is a no-no. Could that be the source of your problem?

Also, drinking too fast or eating too much both make me feel icky. I havent' slimed or tossed to date, and I'm hoping that I never do so. The sleeve definitely runs our lives!
