I'm not sleeved yet but I am a nurse. I wonder if you could be having low blood sugar/hypoglycemia. I'm not diabetic but when I don't get food in after a certain amount of hours I get nauseous and feel like I want to vomit. I run on the low side blood sugar wise so when I don't eat it hits me. The solution for me is to eat something but never sugary foods or drink that makes me even worse. I usually have a piece of cheese and lunchmeat, something basic.

Have you asked your surgeon or nutritionist about this? I'm sure the experienced sleevers here should have better insight on the matter than me. Hope you feel better soon and find your answer :)

Are you taking a ppi(Prilosec, nexium, etc) having acid reflux is very common for the first couple months post op. You should definitely check with your surgeon or PCP. Good Luck.

I'm a nurse too. What I am doing is crushing pepcid 20mg tab twice a day and take it in a tsp of juice. Other options include reglan which is a rx. That made me feel weird. Also if you are not getting enough fluids in that can also make you feel nausea as well as things that are too sugary too fatty too acid to spicey can irritate your stomach lining. I would feel better if you checked with your doctor asap.

I am almost 4 weeks out and have been using prescription Reglan about once or twice a day. It is not for everyone, as can have some side effects. I am lucky though and have zero side effects. Only issue is you can only take for short period of time. I take it 30 min prior to eating in addition to my ppi. It helps with nausea, reflux, and promotes motility. Also - have you asked your md for an upper gi ct scan with barium? I had one last week and they saw some narrowing. I had an endoscopy with dilation this past Friday and felt an amazing difference. It was a very simple procedure, no pain, and I was there less than 2 hours. Narrowing can be a normal side effect post op. My diet changed when I left the hospital Friday and it has been amazing. Good luck in some relief!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
