Slim Lola Slim 30 Posted July 6, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Foor 655 Posted July 6, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nursebarbie 392 Posted July 6, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nursehr80 18 Posted July 7, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
