In had it severely. With Phenegran and Zofran I was still so nauseated I was only consuming 4-8oz of protein shakes a day. It was a vicious cycle. I was hospitalized twice. I had a dilation and it helped for a few days. The nausea lasted about 2 months. I hope you feel better soon because I know how miserable it makes you. 

Sending you a message

I will mention that when I go to the dr. This will be my 3rd child. My first two I was around 300lbs. I lost weight and gained back what I lost. I explained to my dr what I had and he just acts like it isn't a big deal. Maybe I'm making it a bigger deal than what it is?? Anyway...I am about 30lbs away from goal. I would like to not gain anything but not sure if that is realistic. I try not to eat every time I am hungry but I will say it makes me want to puke when I feel hungry. So is that real hunger or just me thinking about food?? Because I don't think about food like I used to. And at the beginning of this I wasn't ever hungry but now all of a sudden every 2 hours I feel like I need to eat something or I will puke. Most of the time it is only 3-4 bites and that's it. As far as protein you are right...my surgeon and nutritionist had me at 60 grams a day and wanted me to move it to 80. Getting to 80 still requires a protein shake. Even though I eat often I'm not eating much. I would love to hear why you think it's too low. I am open for any and all advice. I don't want to ruin my surgery. Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback.

It didn't help me. I still pluck all the time.

 I battled it for a little over 2 months. Very severe. Contact your surgeon for some relief. Hopefully they can help you ou****er even made me sick. 

 I took a back scratcher because I knew I would come out of surgery itchy!!! I did and I used it for my legs and back!! Arms!! All over. It was a lifesaver. Even with Benadryl I needed it. 

 I get on the scale on Friday only. I put it under the sink in my downstairs bathroom so I don't see it on a regular basis. I didn't even have one before surgery. I was just getting weighed weekly at the dr. I promised myself I I start obsessing I will give it away and go back to driving to the drs office to weigh myself weekly. Now when I hit maintenance I will get on more often to make sure I'm staying where I need to be. 

I can relate to the nausea. I was hospitalized twice because mine was so out of control. Even with 4 different meds it was around the clock. Had this surgery been reversible I probably would have had it reversed. I will tell you that I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe me being sick allowed me to skip over the initial mourning of food that some have and for that I am thankful. But more important it made me forget about the scale. I wasn't getting on it daily. I actually had to remind myself to get on it for my weekly weigh in. So now I get on every Friday and record that weight because all the ups and downs if I got on it daily would drive me insane. Maybe you should take a break from the scale. Don't let it determine what kind of day you are going to have. Set a goal that doesn't involve that and shoot for it. You will succeed.

You look like a super model posing on the red carpet!!

 Dilation seemed to help some. I'm home now and the nausea isnt as bad as it was but it isn't gone yet either. Keep sending prayers my way please! I appreciate it. 

 Thank you for all the feedback. I'm not pregnant. :-) as far as food goes I'm still pretty much on liquids. I do protein shakes and may eat 1-2 small meals a day. Most of the time just one. When the nausea was at its worse I wasn't eating anything at all. I'm tryin to incorporate more meals now. I do weigh my food or measure it. Some days I only take 2-3 bites with a baby spoon. I haven't started tracking faithfully yet but on days that I felt good and did track I was getting in 300 or so calories. 

 I am one month post op. I have lost 19 lbs since surgery. It has been a struggle because I have Ben battling nausea. And it wasn't here and there. It was constant and I have a patch that I wear and I take 2 meds and have suppositories as well. I have a narrow area in my sleeve that can be stretched with an endoscopy procedure but my surgeon wanted to try Claritin first. He said the allergies and the drainage in te back of my throat could be causing the nausea. Since starting it I do feel better but I still have some nausea. It isn't constant anymore though. I will say today is one of the first days that I have actually thought I don't regret this. I feel very blessed to have had it and I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to get healthy but it was hard not to have regret because I did ot to get healthy and was so sick I couldn't take care of my kids.
