OMG, I had mine done 10/4. The nausea is insane. I can tell though that it's slightly better this afternoon. It's taken me all day but I got one Protein Drink in and 8 oz of Water so far. I'm taking Zofran every 6 hours. It seems to last 3. The nausea actually woke me up from sleeping last night. I figure it's baby steps. My doctor prescribed 7 days of Zofran for nausea so I figure it should be gone within a week?

My doctor didn't want to prescribe me something for nausea but I definitely need it I'm barely able to drink or anything and I don't want to get sick bc I'm not able to keep anything down I had a few sips of breath and a little cranberry juice as well as 2 sips of my Protein drink which is extremely gross ugh I hope it gets better. Do you still have a lot of air in your stomach ? Mine is so puffy right now

Yes, still lots of air. I can't imagine trying to make it through without the nausea medicine. It's hard to get anything down even with the meds. I'm just going to focus on me this weekend. sleep, eat, drink whenever I want and not beat myself up about anything.

You could also try your primary care doctor. You just don't want to get dehydrated and wind up at the emergency room.

I just made some high Protein chicken broth I bought of this site. It seems easier getting the warm broth down. Try something warm and see if it helps.

I had surgery 10/03: I Have only been doing Water, sf koolaid packets with water and sf popsicles, 1 sf Jello. Luckily, no nausea yet. Next week, I'll slowly do Protein. It seems too much to down right now.

I think the protein is to heavy on the stomach right away it made me vomit instantly and boy was that the worst do you feel like there's a lump in your throat ? Or maybe that's just me

Will try thank you

How are you feeling today? Any better? My stomach is still spasming but it's not bringing on those full blown nausea attacks. Already it's easier than yesterday even if that's the only improvement.

I was thinking of you oddly enough when I woke up yes I'm feeling much better not 100% but I'm feeling much better than yesterday the nausea is still here but it's slowed down greatly. I am having stomach spazzing but not as frequently which is a plus I'm praying for a speedy recovery

Yay! We're on the mend. So good to know we made it through yesterday and that was the toughest day. I'll take baby steps just as long as each day is a bit easier. That full blown nausea was seriously the worst!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
