I'm in my 5th week also and on my 2nd day of feeling the same way. I just feel like I have a qweezy stomach. Every time I think of eating or drinking anything it makes me feel sick. Maybe its part of the healing process that our body does. I hope it goes away soon!!!

The sleeve was the first surgery I've ever had that I felt no nausea (cept for about an hr following my leak test the day after surgery). Usually I have days (and sometimes weeks - like in my lapband in 2009) of nausea/vomiting. I feel for ya.

Continue to sip Water or Powerade 0. At least ull stay hydrated. I take that back. At about 4 weeks I got really dehydrated and felt nauseous all day. Till I figured it out (iit's a vicious cycle - u can't drink cuz ur queasy, ur queasy cuz ur not drinking) and forced myself to drink Powerade 0. Felt better after about 20 oz. After that, it's important to me to get in fluids (and electrolytes that early on)

Good luck to u!

I am also 5 weeks out and have been nauseous for the past 3 days. I called the hospital today and they said it could be my Multivitamin, so I have to stay off of it and call them back on Tuesday. I hate this feeling, I have to force myself to eat, nothing is appetizing, just the smell of food makes me want to puke. If anyone has advice, I would love to hear it. I was doing fine until now, it's depressing. I thought things were supposed to get better as you go along, not worse. I know

I'm being very negative and I apologize, it's just one of those days I guess. I hope we all feel

better soon.

I'm feeling pretty negative about it too. It makes me regret having the surgery. The nausea gets so bad that I dry-heave...or have to spit out saliva bc I'm too sick to swallow. Ughhhhh. Usually I'm glad I'm not the only one but in this case I'm sorry we're all going through this.

Ohh and I've taken two doses of phenergan and it didn't help at all.

I had the same thing at 4 weeks and it lasted about 2 weeks. My doc had me use mylanta to coat the stomach and not advance my diet. It just went away one day. I hope you feel better soon.

Omg...! I hate that we are all going through this but I came here to post a similar concern. I'm 3 weeks out and the nausea is horrible. No vomiting but I feel bad day in and day out. It's hard to drink or eat. I had to go to the ER to get fluids just yday b/c I was so dehydrated. I'm beginning to have the 'buyers remorse' I've heard so much about. I hate to be negative but it's been a pretty bad week.

When I took the bariatric Vitamins they made me Sick feeling. I went back to my store brand of tummies and it went away. Make sure if you do this you have the right amount of nutrients.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
