I'm 20 years old 2 weeks out of my surgery. I have really bad nausea and I regret having the surgery but I mostly think this way when I'm feeling the nausea. :/

I'm sorry to hear about your nausea & regrets. Hopefully, your Dr gave you anti-nausea meds that can help you feel better.

You may want to ask your Dr's office about why you're experiencing this. Is it something you're eating that isn't sitting well, are you getting any Protein in (at this stage, it might be way too early to get your Protein requirements), are you getting enough fluids (are you sipping or perhaps swallowing too quickly).... ?

These are all possible questions, but the only one who can really help you is your surgeon. Please don't have any regrets until you know what's going on. Typically, things really do get better. It's a lifestyle change & it definitely takes some getting used to. I'm 5 weeks post-op & am feeling things out food-wise. Each day is a new adventure on what I can eat or how much.

Hang in there & talk to your Dr's office. It'll get better ;-)

Ask your dr for anti nausea meds. I ask for anti meds prior to surgery and was never nauseated. The 'first four week after surgery is challenging, .however', just be patient and this too shall pass :)

Don't get discouraged and don't think that way. It's still too soon. Are you getting nauseous after you eat? Is it random?

If it's after you eat, if helps if you inhale and exhale not too deep but just normal. Try to relax and just sip on your liquids. Don't use a straw!!!!! Through the straw you suck a lot of air through your mouth to your stomach so that can also cause nausea.

I promise it'll get better and you'll love that you decided to get it done....!

I do suggest that if the nausea continues, you let your doctor know. Not sure how much weight you've lost but it can also be your gallbladder giving you problems because of rapid weight loss. Keep an eye on that. Especially if you begin to get pain after you eat.

Don't stress!! Enjoy the new you!! :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
