Anyone else have no nausea ever and can drink a lot one week post-surgery?



Recommended Posts

I feel like I'm not where I should be at this point. I had surgery 8/25 and less than one week out, I can drink all of my Protein and a lot of Water no problem. I wouldn't say they are tiny sips, but I'm not gulping either. I would say large sips (1 Tbsp per sip). I'm also hungry sometimes. Is it possible for me to have stretched the band with water?


I'm really tired (probably due to not eating in over a week), but besides that all is fine.

My stomach is bloated (I assume all the gas isn't gone?). I just feel like I shouldn't be able to drink this easily and it seems like everyone get nausea, but I have absolutely none (besides immediately after surgery when we did the flouro test). Worried I'll be able to eat too much when I get to pureed and solid foods.

Anyone else have this? Thanks in advance.

This gets asked a lot and I was one of the many who wondered this as well. Yes it's common and ok. It's actually good! You can stay hydrated and get your Protein and Vitamins in. You will feel restriction when you eat real food. liquids and soft foods just didn't produce any restriction for me.
Your stomach may still be swollen. Mine was the same way.
My energy didn't return for 8 weeks but some people get theirs back much sooner.

Hey I got sleeved on 8/25 too !!
I've never had nausea so far.. I burp quiet a bit but I walk n drink anything I have. Today I had Sugar Free Chocolate pudding & protein shake.. idk which one it was but it made me run to the toilet n I felt kinda light headed after. I drink protein water as a replacement of water.
In the first few weeks water won't be palatable cuz you're in ketosis phase ... try brushing often include your tongue.. glad you're doing so well! I can't have as much as you I'll have burp n pain so I have 2 ounces at a time n drink every hour if possible .


Good luck !

Hi, I was 8/25 as well. I also have no nausea at all. Very happy about that. Yesterday I felt hungry for the first time for something other than liquid, but I forced myself to just have another Protein Shake. My first 2 full weeks is liquid only, but Soup is included, so when I can't take more sweet drinks I have Tomato Soup. I can see this is not easy, but I try to keep my eye on the end game. I wish us all a lot of luck and strength!!

Today I move on to yogurt and pureed Soups and ricotta cheese and I'm PSYCHED. For the ricotta cheese - try this - it's delicious. Take about 1/2 c of it, add a little almond extract and a splenda and mix it up. It tastes like a delicious dessert! Plus, you'll have multiple servings, so that's good. Good luck everyone! Glad I'm not the only one with no nausea.

I was sleeved on 8/21 and recovered very fast. By day-6 post op I was able to take full size drinks. Today (day-10 post op) I can easily drink two Premier Protein ready made drink boxes and all my Water. I was told the liquid slides through our stomachs into our intestines faster than solid food, so its okay not to feel that "uncomfortable" fullness I think we were all expecting to feel. When we add solid foods into our stomachs, it will settle and have to be digested before it can flow into our intestines, so we will be able to feel that fullness feeling when that phase starts. Although I have not lost weight this week, I know it will happen because there is no doubt I've changed my eating habits and selecting high Protein, low carb shakes and Soups AND checking the fibers and sugars in everything I eat. I don't know about you, but I feel very fortunate to have had an extremely easy and fast recovery. I'm looking forward to this new healthy lifestyle of eating healthy and exercise (I'm just walking...it doesn't have to be over strenuous to be good for you).

No nausea here either thankfully. I too was expecting much more in the way of discomfort and in a way, was relying on the discomfort to act as a negative reinforcement. Only thing I notice is when I eat too fast/mindlessly. I am one month out and my diet options have expanded considerably. Which is both a blessing and a curse lol

I am feeling like maybe I stretched my stomach as well. It has been hard for me to get my protein and Water in while on my liquid diet but I started the purée food yesterday and feel like I can eat and eat and eat. It is like the purée food is doing nothing for me. Maybe at this stage I need to be having food every two hours are so? I just didn't expect to be hungry.

Yeah, I was hungry too. Now I'm far less hungry. The dense protein (chicken beef etc) fills me up and stays with me longer than the puréed foods did. I can't see how you could've stretched it out. You'll see! I was all nervous about all of these same things and it was all for nothing. Surgery 5/22 down 45 lbs and feeling all back to normal.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
