I am so nauseated and there seems to be no end in sight.. I have barely been able to take anything in. Oral meds make me feel sick. I still in the hospital. What has worked for others?

Have you been given your anti naseau medicine? I had to keep asking for it. It helped me a lot. Let your nurses know your naseaus, they should give you something.

Hope you feel better soon!

Kudos to Baylor Trophy Club. I was a bit nauseated the morning after surgery, and had my nausea medicine within five minutes!

Second day is the worst day. Did you have to go for upper gi test this morning? Did they make you drink the gastrique?

I woke up nauseated then they sent me for the leak test. They gave me three different medications plus I had the patch behind my ear.

If you have a good chair in your hospital room, try sitting in that, with a cold rag on your forehead and a cold damp rag on your neck. sleep as much as you can. If you can ask for someone to pick you up some decaff peppermint tea and whatever artificial sweetener you like, have them bring that to you, if there is a store close by. Bigelow Peppermint Tea with Truvia was my go to of choice. It calmed my belly and I was able to get some liquids in.

Please know that every single day will be better than the day before. 2nd day is always the worst. By tomorrow your nausea will be a little better. Walk when you can, sip when you can, but for today rest.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry. I'm not sure what to suggest. I did read on here that warm tea helped soothe peoples tummies. Is that an option? The smell of peppermint always helps me, could someone get you a sugar free peppermint? Just don't swallow it. Also clear that with your drs. first.

Pain medicine can keep you naseaus. I really hope you find some relief!

I'm sorry to hear you're having so much nausea =( I had quite a bit while I was in the hospital too. They alternated between meds because sometimes it seemed like one worked and sometimes it seemed like another worked. Maybe some of the nausea is from gas? Have you had many chances to get up and walk around, sometimes that can help get rid of gas. Or some gas x strips if your doctor says it's okay? I know that I was tired a lot getting up, but once I'd gotten a few laps in I'd feel a bit better.

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I am getting a little better each day, and I hope to go home today. My doctor is pretty much just saying walk walk walk!

Hi all, I'm new to this but was sleeved on Thursday. Went home yesterday and feeling very down. Before my surgery, my motivations for having it were so clear to me and now my mind just feels fuzzy! I have a young son and am feeli g guilty about not being able to pick him up for a month even though I have support from husband/family. Struggling with Water too and asking myself what on earth I have done? Sorry I know all that sounds silly.

hi katie

I understand how you feel but you made a life saving and life changing decision so you will now live a full life with your precious lil one. It is hard in the beginning to keep things in perspective; we all struggled in the beginning but its a temporary time given for a lifetime of joy. You can do this... remind yourself the reasons you did this. I buried a friend at 41 from a heart attack and she had two children. Saddest thing in the world to experience children saying goodbye to their mother while they are still children.

Be proud of yourself..you are strong...get through this temporary period and prepare for happiness to come.

Drink your Water, walk and follow your doctors instructions as you heal. If you still are feeling like this give your Dr a call ... they know what your going through and will help you.

and we are here for you as well

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
