Sleeved on 12/3/14 having morning nausea issues.



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 12/3/14. Spent two days in the hospital following surgery. Began nausea and vomiting and returned went to the ER 3 days later to be admitted to the hospital where I stayed for 6 days. Scans & xrays showed a small bowel blockage, however, Dr insisted I did not have a blockage because I could go potty. I have another xray scheduled Tues. Dr thinks it may be scar tissue that may have kinked. Currently I'm down 19lbs. Oh, I also had a pretty good sized hernia repaired, so I have been limited to what I can do. My current issue is I still have nausea but only in the mornings. I have a prescription for the nausea but am reluctant to continue taking it as the Dr. wants me to be able to not have to take it. I have issues with the Protein drinks - I'm a texture girl and can feel the powder and grit found in most of the Protein Drinks, I'm also lactose intolerant. I'm feeling pretty low right now emotionally and would appreciate your all's thoughts.

I suggest trying powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and mixing it in a blender. It has a good clean taste and no grit.

I suggest eating a butter cracker before you get up.

1. Any chance you might be pregnant? Just asking.[ i.e., possibly conceived just prior to surgery date?]

2. Also, [not saying you have it, of course, but just an FYI]...people may get a partial bowel obstruction, in which patients may still pass some stool.

I would continue the anti-nausea meds until you see the doc on Tues. Perhaps try some of the RTD shakes. I use CVS whey Protein with almond milk and find that blends really well even if I just shake it up in my shaker bottle.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you all. I picked up a pkg of Atkins to try and I'm going to go get some unjury to try. I feel so low emotionally I just want to cry. I go back to work on Tuesday and I'm nervous about it. My stomach feels like it is quivering a lot of the time. Did any of you get that? And, what did you do about it?

Forgot to answer one of your questions - not pregnant, that I know for sure.

Some people experience stomach spasms. If you think you are having that your doctor can prescribe something for it. Mostly just try to rest and gets your fluids in.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
