When was your surgery? Mine was Jan 14 and im wondering if the nausea EVER goes away. Its hard for me to stomach the Water and shakes, or anything for that matter.

What IS a stricture?

my surgery was December 7th. a stricture is a narrowing of your esophagus that is corrected by having a scope and them using a balloon type thing to stretch it out. from what I've read, it's kinda common..

Mine did get better after a few wks. I did have to get a daytime nausea medicine and a nighttime, and that seem to do the trick

SD: 10/10/12, Converted from Lapband to RNY, HW (before band) 263, HW (RNY) 230, Preop 219, after surgery 223, CURRENT... 187 YEAH!!!!

I have not had nausea like this since surgery..i mean, i dumped once and food has gotten stuck twice, but this is different. I feel like the thought of having to take my vitamins/pills or eat Protein will make me sick...sux cause i'm feeling hungry...my test is tomorrow, so hopefully i'll find out something..

That sounds like what I went through. The very thought of food and my stomach would do flops. Doc gave me meds for it and it slowly to better. I never had a stricture. My doc said when some people lose the weight their body release certain hormones that will cause the extreme nausea.

I had my surgery Dec. 18th. Things were awesome until two weeks ago. I am constantly nauseated. I am barely eating. Even regular drinks make me that way. The zofran is not helping.

Im almost a yr and a half post op and I still get nauseous. Go buy papaya enzyme and take a couple... they are chewable. AMAZING! I USUALLY have some in the morning and after I eat. Lifesavers!

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
