My daughter and i had the sleeve on Nov 13, 2014 she has lost 20 lbs .. at first I thought ok she is just one of the unfortunate ones who has extreme nausea.. But she cant put anything down without burping and gagging. She follows the rules as far as... not drinking anything 30 min before having a creamy Soup. nothing after for one hour. She is miserable with this she takes prilosec, and zofran and tums. I also thought ok maybe its the Protein Shakes and shes sensitive or allergic to whey... Its everything even Water little sips that elicit that response... Help anyone!

Has she seen her doctor yet? Or spoken to her nutritionist? That may be the way to go to get some advice and maybe to alternatives because she will need her Protein and all the fluids she can intake as to not be dehydrated. I hope she gets better soon.

Hi there. On yesterday I called my dr due nausea and couldn't keep any liquids down. My surgery was 11/19/14. My chest was tight and lots of pressure. The tests revealed my esophagus was swollen and I needed steroids and pain meds. After these meds were administered and instantly I felt like a million bucks. My nausea came from not being able to get liquids down as well as

the gases in my stomach. I hope you feel better.

I am so glad to see this post and to know I am not alone! My mother had the sleeve in May and I just got my sleeve Nov4. I have had no physical pain and was walking the day of surgery. I however have had a major issue with nausea and sickness. I was down 17lbs on my first dr visit post op. I asked if I was "normal" and he said everyone is different . He's. A great dr and had given me zofran as well as phenagrin to help and is a phone call away if needed. He advised I am still healing and to take things sllloooowwww. Slow down your going to fast. I keep telling myself. That being said I'm a little more tired at night than normal and feel it's directly related to the lack if liquid/food intake(protein) I simply do tiny tiny tiny bites one then wait a bit for the next. Spacing them out. I certainly hope she is feeling better.

Today I am thankful for having this surgery and having this site for part of my support system. Thank you all for being here to share your experiences!

I had the same problem post op. I had to have my nausea meds changed from zofran to phenergan and added zantac and a stomach coating solution carafate. I'm better everyday I was sleeved on Halloween. Good luck and call the Dr, I ended up on fluids for dehydration as well so please be careful.

      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.
