I'm 3 weeks out and everything has been going great, until tonight. All of a sudden I got a terrible headache and I feel like I might throw up. I take protonics for acid control, but it's not anything new. The nausea is unbearable, help! What's going on?

Diet change? Dehydration? New shake? Are you getting the flu?

I developed lactose intolerance after surgery and it got progressively worse. What started as a bit of nausea here and there became full blown sickness and digestive issues close to a month out. No headaches, though.

I'd make an appt. to see your doc or at least call the office. Better safe than sorry.

If you're not throwing up and not running a fever, I wouldn't worry so much about a leak/stricture, but do call your doc if this persists or if you develop any other symptoms.

I feel your pain/discomfort.... I had nausea and vomiting almost daily (if not multiple times day) for at least 3-4 mos afte surgery. I used Reglan when it was time to eat/drink and took Zofran 8mg at least 3 x a day. It was HELL but it eventually subsided- Mine was due more to slow healing inside due to my auto immune problems and having the band removed- there was an area that had a lot of scar tissue etc... I know it is hard but it will pass and you just have to keep on trecking on...

This far out Istill have days where I feel nauseated and even vomit certain foods but it is a live an learn.. overll- I wouldnt change a thing and go back to pre-before sleeve- EVER... GOod luck...

I had the exact same thing happen to me (I'm 6 weeks out) and I started adding G2 to my daily liquids - having that little bit of sodium & electrolytes helped me to process all that Water better. Have been feeling much better since I added that.

      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.
