Veteran sleevers...HELP. 6 weeks out, nausea starting again?



Recommended Posts

Okay, so I'm six weeks out, the nausea (for the most part) had passed but now it's happening ALL day for the past couple of days...is this normal?? I have been living off of Zofran and/or Phenergan and I haven't really needed either since about 1-2 weeks out. Even Water is making me nauseated.

I am experiencing exactly the same thing. I'm six weeks out today. I was nauseous weeks 2-4 then it got better, now sick again. It's been hard to get much down for past few days dye to nausea. So I'm interested in this thread as well. Thx!!

Here I am to save the day!!!!!!! NOT! :P Ummm.... Not sure why if you were doing good that it changed so suddenly... The usually suspects would be a stricture but it could also be just part of the fun of healing. I never threw up but for the first two months I would get times where I just felt nauseous on certain days... See no help :D

I would call the doc tomorrow. It's probably nothing serious but anytime recovery goes backwards rather than forward, it's a food idea to ping them anyway. Sorry you're not feeling good :(

Are you eating healthily? Have you increased fat or sugar or carbs or something that your body's not liking maybe?

I pretty much eat the SAME diet daily...there are a few variations, but mostly the same stuff. I do know the PA told me that nausea could be gallbladder issues, BUT i'm not hurting at all. Yesterday and today, I have hardly been able to eat much of anything - between 300-500 calories and that is FORCING myself to eat.

Difficult is that patient who doesn't call when she needs to, waits until she gets worse, and then bothers her doc on a Sunday by needing to be admitted :P

I am 5 months out and I have been nauseous for a few weeks now. No pain or other symptoms. Surgeon thinks gall bladder but ultrasound showed no stones. So now I am going for a HIDA scan (looking for sludge?).

Try eating something salty when nauseous -- it's the only thing that helps me. Salty broth, salt on eggs or potatoes, even cottage cheese. Try to avoid fat. I started eating potato chips, then popcorn -- both trigger foods for me so I had to give those up. Now I just live with the nausea until we figure out the problem.

Wouldn't it be kinda soon for me to have gallstones though?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
