7 Weeks Post-Op and Still dealing with nausea and vomiting



Recommended Posts

I had the gastric sleeve on December 2, 2013 so today marks 7 weeks post-op and I am incredibly nauseated. I have a hard time dealing with eating food most of the time. I am really tired today because for the last few days all I can manage is Breakfast and Water throughout the day without throwing up. I have an appointment in three days with my surgeon so I am not incredibly worried.

I hate eating, everything seems utterly gross to me. The only thing I can manage is eggs, yogurt and occassionally Protein shakes. I know I am really malnurished at this point which is scary since I am still over 300 lbs. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had the same issue and I had to have them go in to see if there was food that got stuck in the hole that brings your food to the stomach and it turned out that my hole was to small so they had to make it bigger so I can actually eat without throwing up.

I hope this gets better for you! My problem seems to be if I eat an extra bite, I throw up within 10 minutes. And what's most annoying is what I can eat fine one day is too much food the next. I hope your surgeon can help you--your problem is more troubling than mine, and mine is annoying enough!

There is some days I hardly eat very much and the next day it seems like I haven't ate for months, and can finish my plate, the next day I can't eat anything. I can't eat white meat makes me puke, but the darker meat I have no problem

Initially I was able to eat anything in the first 2 stages but when it came to food I started having good and bad days which became progressively worse. Now I can barely eat anything without throwing it back up. I had a CT scan around week 4 and the surgeon said my stomach looked fine but I guess I can ask him about the hole being large enough.

I can't eat most meats or vegetables. I don't eat rice, bread or Pasta per diet orders so my options are limited. It is all very frustrating.

Ya, I agree I live in a group home and I don't have control of what's made so it gets kinda hard to eat healthy, but I try hard to eat as healthy as I can. Moving out in March or April, so I'm in control of what I eat. I'm looking at two apartments this Wednesday and Friday, and there for March first. So I hope at least one works

      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
