Morning sickness & NO I am not pregnant!!!
I am not pregnant & yes I am 100% sure. I've had my period 6 times in the last 11 weeks & I checked.
Usually I'm able to get right up in the morning & drink as much water as I want to while taking my meds & vits & have my 11oz Premier Protein Chocolate shake but lately this is not the case. I feel so weak & tired all of the time. I have 0 energy & I mean -0 energy.
Come the afternoon & late evening time I start to feel much better because I've been able to get in some liquids & protein.
It's almost like I have to wait for my stomach to wake up but I never know when that's going to be. I'm getting frustrated more & more every morning. I don't want to live this way. It sucks!!!
I can tell you that my sleeve preferred to be empty in the morning early on. It could be that you are experiencing acid.....are you on a PPI? You may want to try taking something at night before bed and see if it's better in the am. I know that it took over two years for the acid to reduce.
Maintain daily activity levels and practice clean eating........still battling some unhealthy behaviors!

Check with your Dr because you shouldn't be that tired at 3 months out so you may need some blood work.
When are your next full bloods due? Sounds like you are short of a few things (B12 would be my guess if you are tired) :)
I don't eat anything before 9am, but I have always been like that. Eating first thing in the morning always made me feel sick and that hasn't really changed since surgery. But talk to your doc when you see him about your bloods.
I got my B-12 shot almost 3 weeks ago so I'm due for another one at my 3 month post-op visit.
I've also had my period 6 X's in the last 11 weeks and it's drained me.
I just want to be able to eat when I wake up in the morning without feeling sick every day.
Hilary, your periods sound very reminiscent of mine!!! Ugh. For the past 2 months, I have had 3 periods and they each last about 2 weeks. Im so tired of bleeding. i have been taking my birth control as I should, but i wonder if the rate is absorbed (or not absorbed) differently than before. Im like you, I wonder what my Iron level is gonna look like when I do have my labs drawn. On the other issue, sometimes people have to take 2 PPI's a day. One in the morning and one at night. If you are throwing your vitamins up in the morning, it does sound like your stomach is too acidic for them. You may try switching your omeprazole to nights for a few days to see if that helps and then tell your doc on your next visit. or if your not worried about it, try taking the one in the morning if you can get it down, then take one at bed. See if that helps. Be careful though, with most PPI's they are magnesium depleting and you can suffer BAD leg cramps. Take this from someone who knows. I kept taking my omeprazole everyday and having the most horrible leg cramps. I mean rolling on the floor in agony. Finally after like 3 failed doctor appointments, my thyroid doc said "oh yea, its probably your acid reducer causing it.'. sure enough it was!!! Wishing you better days. Hang in there!!!
