I was sleeved 5/28 and am really struggling. I had my Lapband taken out at the time of procedure. I am working on Fluid intake and walking as much as I can but I have constant nausea. I'm on clear fluids until Tuesday and I'm hoping after then I will be able to get stronger every day. Right now the pain is mostly gone but I am in severe nausea and that is almost worse. Is Dramimine ok to take? Repeated calls to my physician went unanswered and unreturned.

I was sleeved 5/28 and start soft foods on tuesday. Did they prescribe you any anti nausea meds? I came home with some that would need to be crushed but haven't felt like taking them.

I'm just now able to take in more fluids I'm shooting for my 11oz Protein drink and about 40oz of Water.

My sleeve was on 5/23 and I have moved on to soft food already. It's going well, but I have had some bumps in the road. The chewable Vitamins were making me sick, moved on to liquids. I couldn't tolerate the Bariatric Advantage shakes either, switched to Pure Protein and those are better for me.

Talk to your Doc or the nutritionist at their office, they can give you some options. If they don't return calls, keep calling or just show up at their office - they should be providing follow up care for you!

I was sleeved 5/28 but no issues with nausea. Dramamine is probably NOT okay to take but there is a drug people here have taken for it. I recommend starting another thread with a title of "Please help with nausea"or something like that and I think that will get you more attention than this thread.

Your doctor took responsibility for aftercare by doing this surgery, don't hesitate to keep nagging them until they respond.

I was sleeved on 5/28 and I am getting all my fluids 3 Protein Shakes and my Water. I am however very sore, tired and weak feeling. My band had to be bigger ( I can hold 3 oz instead of 2) due to scar tissue from my band remove 2 years ago. Nausea? My dr gave me zig ran tablets that melt in your tongue.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      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.
