 IM a little over 4 months out. my surgeon calls me the problem child since ive had a bunch of issues he cant explain. 

Well it started off with esphogus spams. he gave me carafate and that went away. 
now,
im ALWAYS NAUSOUS!!! The sight of food makes me want to hurl. i probably puke up what i eat maybe 4 times a week.  this has been going on for over a month now.Dr. said to take smaller bites and slow down. i did that, i even bought baby forks and spoons, and also a timer. 

ive gotten to the point now i just wont ea****er makes me gag and flavored water makes me feel like my stomach is raw. 

I've been on my period for over a month now, which has never happened. ive only lost 10 lbs in the past month and half. 

i dont know what to do anymore, and i dont wanna play. i want to be healthy and puking all the time is not healthy. 

Has anyone gone through this or can think of whats going on with my body?

I couldn't eat or drink much and had trouble keeping things down and got dehydrated for the first 3 weeks and my Dr. said that I was unusual. You might want to get a second opinion from another gastric surgeon. This does not sound typical at all from the postings I have read.
I hope things get better for you soon!

Dehydration could be the problem now.  If you're dehydrated, it causes nausea.  If you're nauseous, you don't want to eat or drink - vicious cycle.  But is has an easy fix.  Go  get some IV fluids.

Otherwise, I'd insist the doc scope my stomach to see if there's anything down there that shouldn't be, like strictures.

I think you need a second opinion.  It seems extreme to me for you to be a month out and not able to eat or drink.  You need a doctor who isn't invested in his own surgical stats to look at your situation and maybe order tests or review results of previous tests. 

I haven't had the surgery, though, so maybe someone with more experience can weigh in on the idea of getting a second opinion.
