5 months out, nauseous for over a week



Recommended Posts

So, I figured by now I would have this whole eating thing under control but for the last week or so I seem to be nauseous 24 /7. Nothing I do seems to help... eating, not eating, Water, protein... On top of it all, I seem to be losing very slowly. . Any suggestions? I'm considering starting from scratch again and starting with a liquid diet because I can't seem to get all my Protein in and my hair is starting to fall out. I'm in desperate need of help because this is affecting my life negatively instead of being a positive change.

unfortunately hair loss..arrgghh..normal...lost a lot of mine, and I did EVERYTHING by the book and human guidance, still lost a lot of it. nausea. another unfortunate. I still feel it a lot of the time. I just had lunch, 4oz salmon & 10 steamed snowpeas..feeling sluggish. But I'd say if it persists like always call the Doc.

Someone with more experience than me might correct me but I think going back to the pouch test might be a good option for you.

Biotin has got a great reputation for helping those who fear losing their hair...I started mine prior to my surgery and take it last thing at night.

Good luck

1. Are you taking prilosec still or similar? Nausea can be too much acid in the stomach

2. You could ask your dr for an anti-nausea med, they will help.

3. Yes to liquids. When things get funky, go back to basics for a couple days. But any longer than that and you should be on the phone with your surgeon.

I was never put on prilosec, and I'm getting worried to the point were I will probably call on Monday to make an appointment. Thank you everyone for your help and advice!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
