Ok, peeps. I'm 4.5 weeks post op. I went back to work on Monday. I have had some nasty nausea since the beginning, but have been managing. Since now I'm on more of a schedule and sitting at my desk for 8 hours, listening to my sleeve talk to me, I've finally figured something out. When I take my other meds (anti-depressants & thyroid meds) I get extreme nausea and feel very acidy about 30 minutes later that lasts for about an hour. I literally sat there with my mouth watering, trying not to throw up in my trash can. Today was the worst. I took the Omeprazole about 30 minutes before thinking this might help, but it did not. I am no longer crushing them and taking them whole. Does this have something to do with it?

I just emailed my Doc for help because it was so bad today, all I could do was sit there and sweat and pray and whimper softly. It took me getting on a regular schedule to make the connection between taking my other meds and the extreme nausea.

Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions? HELP ME......

I was not allowed to take whole pills for 8 weeks (not until week 9) so maybe that is the reason, given that you are only 4.5 weeks out.

Try taking your PPI later in the day.

I was instructed to take my PPI at 4pm... as there is sufficient food in my stomach and it would keep the acid under control.

Perhaps the reason for your issues is that you are taking all the meds during a short period of time and this is irritating something.

I know the feeling. I'm 4 weeks out and have had raging nausea, on Prilosec, on soft foods and know I'm not meeting Protein but am so sick of Protein Shakes. can't take urso for gallstone, was sick for 2 days taking 1 pill. nausea at the start of all meals. does this get better??? I have lost weight, not weighing myself yet just trying to eat daily greek yogurt, fluids, meds, so many Vitamins, and real food which now tastes good but always an aftertaste.

I switched from Zoloft to Lexapro. Zoloft was always hard on my stomach.

        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!

      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
