This is not normal and you will end up hospitalized again for dehydration. Did they prescribe any anti-nausea meds? Have you tried a acid reducer?

Yes he gave me carafate and omeprazole but they just make it worst

Call you MD. He/she knows you better than anyone.

Maybe you just have a stomach virus. But any concerns that you have this soon, need to be addressed by your bariatric team.

Please call them and them post and let us know how you are.

We really care.

Prayers going up for you.

Feel better, friend.

Maybe it's a stomach bug but you need to get seen or you'll end up dehydrated.
I thought so too but its been 2 weeks now and I've been in the hospital twice already

I had issues with daily vomiting for several months. I finally had to go in for a barium test. One thing my surgeon told me was to drink a small amount of carbonated Water. That eased the discomfort and helped me to burp. Just a tiny mouthful of carbonation. 7 months out I still deal with periodic episodes of nausea and vomiting but vastly different than the every day issues.

I am 2 weeks post op. Can't keep any food on my stomach. My comes out the other end. Nauseous all the time. Can't drink Water, take meds. Very discouraged. Have lost 15 lbs since surgery. Feel like I'm starving myself. Everyday is a struggle. They are running tests when I can get a sample to the lab. Went for fluids yesterday. Can't sleep either. Never felt this crappy. No Vitamins or Protein either. Maybe we can get through this together. See your doctor.

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

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
