First day of solids nausea :(



Recommended Posts

So today I'm currently 14 days post op and down 17 pounds which I'm very excited about! However, after being on the long liquid diet, I was so ready and excited to finally be able to have some scrambled eggs, and after maybe 3 forkfuls, it was just total nausea and reflux for the next hour. I have been taking my acid reducer so that's not the issue :( I am just starting to worry about how long it will be like this for because I'm feeling pretty miserable. Any advice?

I started solids today as well, surgery was 1/4. At my appointment with my NUT today, she said eggs used to be on the plan for this stage but they've found they make a lot of people sick. I've been nauseous all week, dehydrated, and thankfully one of the things I surprisingly can have is reduced fat ritz crackers, which have helped immensely, along with the 2 bags of fluids they gave me at the hospital through the iv.

Your new tummy is figuring out how to work again. I needed the full 8 weeks before I started feeling normal, before swallowing and eating wasn't painful, before I could tolerate stuff. It's very common to have this feeling of nausea when trying foods out on your new stomach. I read that a lot of people have a hard time with eggs at first. (I hate eggs so no eggies for me.)

I'm 3 and a half weeks post op. I tried eating a scrambled egg for my phase 3 on January 7th. Threw up all day! So I'm back to liquids! I did talk to the doctor and they let know that some people adjust quickly, others take more time! I'm really hoping to eat soon! I love Sushi!!

Has anyone tried poached or hard-boiled eggs instead of scrambled? I've heard that WLS patients handle them much better than scrambled eggs.

I just started this phase yesterday so I haven't tried them yet, but my NUT said its the yolk that gives people a hard time. So I could see those as a better, gentler option provided the yolk was not eaten.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
