I went back to work yesterday. I work 12 hour shifts at a hospital. I haven't eaten anything different to when I was resting at home but I have this new nauseous feeling which I haven't had before. Im not sure if it's because I'm moving around more but it's constant. I can feel it in my throat. Is this because I'm being more active rather than resting? I only had nausea for 2 days after my surgery. And haven't had it since. I feel a bit worried as I've been doing great these past 2 weeks. Is this normal?

That is a tough question to answer. Have you contacted your surgeon about this?

I've had it the past couple weeks bad I couldn't hardly drink Water and I can't live without my water sothe dr has been working with me and has tried me on a couple different meds but the last he has prescribed me is working so far unless of course I drink or eat a little to fast. If you or anyone would like the name of the meds just let me know. I forgot to see how old this post was before I responded.

I figured out that it is acid reflux causing my nausea. My throat is so sore and the acid makes me feel so sick. That's why I feel it in my throat and can't get rid of the constant nauseous feeling. My surgeon has doubled my meds. But doesn't seem to be helping at this moment in time. Just a case of waiting to see if it improves over time.

I have had acid reflux forever and finally I've been on 40mg. Omeprazole, once a day for the past year and have had such relief it's amazing, I have to take it every morning but it works every day. Sometimes at night I might have to take an extra one or if I ate something that is a little too strong on my stomach but I try to eat properly and the medicine helps. I am bipolar and taking meds for that has given me nausea but it will also be helpful when I have my sleeve on June 2 1 St. Also I have zofran sublingual tablets for nausea they help also.

My surgeon has upped my omprezole to 80mg a day but still not helping! Feeling a bit rubbish as I was doing so well for the first 4 weeks. I may have to ask for anti sickness tablets at some point.

Have your gallbladder checked.

Make sure you are eating and drinking enough and often enough.

There may be a food that's causing it.

Hope you figure it out soon!

Are you eating more quickly at work? Sometimes in that setting we feel more rushed and may be eating more quickly than at home.

Yes I guess I do eat more quickly at work. can eating too quickly affect acid reflux? Forgive me for sounding silly.

I feel like sometimes at work pre op when I would eat more quickly I would feel like it would but my stomach hard afterward. Especially when I would order at the cafeteria and have only 10 mins left to eat by the time was back on the unit. Might be worth a try to slow down a little of possible. I just had surgery Wednesday so I haven't gotten to that point yet. Good luck.

        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.

      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
