I am almost 1 month and a week out and still constantly nauseous. I can't take it anymore. Anything I put in my mouth causes my stomach to churn. I am on motion sickness patch and ativan for nausea and no luck:( hopefully it ends soon

I am 1 moth out too. I puke up pretty much everything. I dont see how I can get in many calories. I can not even keep an actual food journal. I only have nausea when I eat and feel like my stomach is constantly growling. Hoping for answers soon.

I understand how horrible that feels. Don't give up. I finally had to use suppositories. Not pleasant to administer but they did the trick. I am now three months out and use one or two a day. My doctor told me that nausea is the most common complaint. When something didn't work he responded by trying something else. Please call your dr. Feeling that way day after day is so discouraging. Not getting your fluids or Protein in is DANGEROUS. You don't want to end up in the hospital. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had such a compassionate dr. Keep trying for a solution.

I hope you all feel better soon. I am now completely terrified. Nausea and vomiting were the main reasons I fear the surgery.

There are many other anti nausea medications that work well. Ask your doctor to switch your medication.

Other than that, it's important to sip liquids like G2 or poweraide, which has the electrolytes in it. You don't want to become dehydrated, because that causes nausea too. Keep sipping whatever you can manage.

Zofran is my best friend. My surgeon gave it to me after surgery and my PCP has refilled it for me. I keep it in my purse because you never know when it will hit. It works wonders and doesn't make you tired

Ask your doctor to prescribe you some Nexium... it helps

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
