Hi,

I'm about 4-5 weeks out. I have not experienced nausea much at all but I have experienced Constipation. One of my issues was I was not getting enough fluids. How is your Fluid intake? Are you at 64 oz a day? Are you lactose intolerance and trying to eat dairy products? How about acid reflux - is that an issue for you?

YES! I went through the exact same thing. I was fine for the first 4 weeks and then the 5th and 6th week I couldn't eat anything without feeling really sick, I couldn't drink anything on an empty stomach. It was so bad. I still don't even know what the issue was, but one day, after about two weeks, I woke up and felt fine. So, I have no idea what's wrong, but I can tell you that it will pass. I empathize with you, though, it really does suck. I got really dehydrated during this time, so my advice would be to mix Water with juice (I know it has a lot of sugar, but you do what you have to do) and drink that. It went down so much easier and helped me not get too dehydrated. Plus, it's gets you some calories since you don't want to eat anything.

Id suggest heading to your local emergency room. 200 cals is not safe! Sounds like you could be dehydrated and malnourished!

I'd also suggest if you arnt ready for the er to try anything to get some calories into you.. Creamed soup... Broths... Tomato soup... Diluted oj (maybe your sugars are low)... Pedialyte... I wouldn't worry too much about sugars or any of that stuff right now you need to get yourself feeling better before you get worse

Yes but g2 may not be enough that's why i suggested the pedialyte... I got sick like this at about 3-4 weeks and getting some pedialyte and nourishment via Soups and kicking up my Vitamins is how I got myself feeling better.

I can't believe I'm reading this. It explains exactly what I'm going through. First 4 weeks I felt great and now weeks 5 and 6 have been terrible.

Can't eat more than 2 oz without feeling lousy. Constipated all the time now and feel bloated most of the time.

I'm hoping this changes ...

It's part of the healing the swelling in your stomach is going down which is causing changes in your stomach acid, hormones.. Lots of stuff... Are all of you on acid reducers like Prilosec? That feeling could also be associated with silent heart burn? I promise after 6 week you will start turning the corner and feeling better. Just hold in there and try all your might to get your fluids in.

I was the exact same. Getting maybe 200 calories in. You just have to keep trying. Try chewing on Jerky, drink juice, experiment with a lot of different things until you find something you can tolerate. It'll pass, you just have to get through it!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
