Hi, I am a newbie, had sleeve surgery 5/12/15 Having a real hard time eating anything right now. I'll be 6 weeks post next Tuesday and EVERYTHING is making me Nauseous and I mean everything. Water, Protein Shakes, eggs. I take small sips of liquid and instantly feel nauseous. I cut my food really small and chew. but still feel nauseous................ I know there is now way I am eating anywhere near the amount that I should be. I gag down my Protein shakes so that I am at least getting almost what I should for protein. Anyone got any suggestions. I have been feeling this way for the last 3 days.................

Contact your Doctor asap!!

While I would suggest contacting your doctor to be on the safe side, before getting too upset, let me tell you everything you listed in your post (water, Protein shakes, eggs) makes me sick and I'm almost 2 years out. I can only drink Water when I exercise and it took me months to be able to not gag on it after surgery. eggs to this day make me hurl. Protein Shakes are ok, but I never drank much of them. Instead of Water, try the low calorie Gatorade or Propel or something with flavor that you liked pre-surgery that doesn't have a ton of calories. Also, the only way I was able to get in all of my fluids was to drink with a straw, which is only advised against because some people get a little gassy. I never had an issue and right now I'm sitting at my desk drinking from a straw because it's easier than drinking without one.

My 2 year surgiversary is in September and there are still days where almost everything I eat makes me barf. I've learned for the most part what I can and can't eat, but my sleeve just has no tolerance for milk fats, oil, sugar, or eggs. Perhaps you're just sensitive to some of the things you're eating. Nausea is very normal. Hope you feel better soon!

Nausea CAN be normal, I never had any once. I would suggest contacting your nutritionist first. Do you get nauseous after ingesting each of the things you listed? Are you taking any antacids or have they been recommended by your surgeon? Plain Water can be very hard on your sleeve for some, try the G2 gatorade (lower in sugar), maybe add some MIo drops to your Water to change the chemical makeup. It could even be that you are eating too fast. Good luck and let us know what you find out.
