Nauseas

[fran25 35]

I feel very nauseas dont wanna know anything about food. Thinking about food makes me more nauseas. Dont know what to do with my life anymore. Im 3 weeks post-op and i still regret this surgery. How could i not think of all this before doing it. I just wish i could go back in time and live my normal life.

What is your favorite thing to eat?? Maybe you can have some version of it so you can at least eat something.

Why don't you call your dr and ask for some anti-nausea meds...

This is hard, we got that! Hard for us all. It sounds REALLY bad for you. Tell us more about you and DO consider talking to your MDs!

Sounds like you are having a rough time of it. So sorry to hear that. How are your liquids going down? If you are dehydrated, it can make you feel nausea in your stomach. Could you be on a medication that is contributing to that?

If you are not on a nausea medication, maybe ask about one. Until you can get your tummy feeling better I can imagine you won't want to eat. You have to try though, and if you can get a bit down, it might make you start to feel better, especially Protein. Try some Protein spiked sugarfree pudding. Blend in the Protein powder and skim milk then add the pudding and it blends it up nice and you can't taste the protein. It could sooth your tummy and calm it down.

I'm sorry you are not feeling good yet. sometimes it just takes longer so hang in there and hopefully soon you will grow to love your sleeve.

Don't have regrets just yet! While I was not nauseous at 3 weeks, I can totally relate to not feeling quite like yourself. It took me 2 months to start feeling slightly normal. Some people are feeling great after a week or so but not me. I was agitated at the smallest things, mad because I couldn't eat normally like everyone else in the house, and worried that I just would not succeed in this whole ordeal. And to top it all off I discovered that I was a slow loser where weight is concerned. Yippe.

BUT - sure enough it did get better and I even quit being mad about not being able to eat. I can't say that I'm happy about it now at 9 weeks but I've accepted it and am feeling normal enough to just make the best of it. I notice that I have more energy and wake up mostly happy these days. As far as eating goes I eat what I want and enjoy the few bites I can manage. Hang in there! I know it sounds like a broken record to tell you it gets better, but it really does and pretty soon you will have a smile on your pretty face

Aw, Right after surgery I had similar feelings.. mainly I thought, "What did I do to myself?" and this was because I was very happy with my love of food. I didn't eat bad, I just ate a lot; and now I lost my friend and I am stuck with this liquid friend.

More of us know exactly what you are a feeling. Some of it has to do with the hormones, some of it has to do with head hunger, and some of it has to do with reality. You have the sleeve, so now you have to move forward and learn to re-enjoy foods, one at a time.

In the beginning you will feel ill and this has a lot to do with the Protein shakes. Find a good one and you will be ok. You can still have your food friend.. he just can't be your food lover anymore, LOL. Try some samples from unjury.com and Syntrax nectar in chocolate Truffle, vanilla bean torte, and strawberry mousse. Switching it up can definitely help with the nausea.

P.M. me if you want to talk.

Oh this is such a normal feeling. I posted the exact message many times. I threw up daily and regretted the surgery. Then I read a post of a girl who was regretting surgery and said she had nothing to live for. Everyone told her that there is no going back and look to the future. I took the advice at 5 -6 weeks. I went that day to have a mani /pedi and started feeling better. I haven't looked back. I am now seven weeks out with a 42 lb loss and am finally happy and don't regret the surgery anymore. Feel better, this too shall pass.
