I was sleeved on 12-3-13 and have done really well. Lost 60 lbs. and have had no problems until now. I'm having some nausea and my stomach feels quezzey all the time. I'm not supposed to see my surgeon until my 6 mos. appt, but I'm thinking I should let him know how I'm feeling. I'm also weak and tired all the time which I know can be common but the nausea and quezzyness. Anyone else experience this ???

I have read many posts relating to issues like yours several months out and the gallbladder is typically the culprit. I am about where you are and while I had no pre-op concerns with my gallbladder, it's always in the back of my mind should any symptoms arise. Just food for thought.

Thanks for your input but my gallbladder was removed 15 yrs. ago. I've had this quezzyness

for over a week now so I think I'm going to call my surgeon on Monday.

Getting the recommended 64 oz. in has been extremely difficult. I find the hot liquids like tea or sugar free hot chocolate go down so much easier. I have a hard time drinking plain Water but yet the flavored ones are too sweet. I do wake up with a dry mouth at night and I probably am somewhat dehydrated. It's really hard to drink when your tummy is nauseous. How does anyone get all this in and what r your tips ?

Are you taking a Multi-Vitamin? I am 18 months out and have lost about 100 lbs. I have reached my goal weight. At times I get very tired and take some Iron with my Vitamins for a month and increase the amount of red meat I am eating. I find this helps a lot.

It does sound like dehydration. Drink as much Water as you can and see if it improves. Meeting the Water requirements is hard to do even for vets. I drink a lot of smart water with electrolytes to optimize what I get in.

If it doesn't improve you should notify your doctor. It could be a Vitamin deficiency or any number of things.

Try adding G2 Gatorade to your Water. coffee, tea they are diuretics. You may find that if you drink 1/2 Gatorade with 1/2 water every day it will help with hydration. BUT call the surgeon just to be on the safe side..... :)
