hello

I am new to this board I have been posting to the Indiana board for a long while though. I had my surgery on 4-18-07. I have been terribly sick for the last 3 weeks. I vomit or should I say dry heave all the time and feel very naucous sp? all the time... I am still on liquids because when I try to eat anything solid it comes back up so far I have found I can eat potatoes and pickles without getting too sick.... ny suggestions? my starting weight was 279 and I am at 238 as of this morning!!!!!! I am happy for the weight loss but I more often than not wish I had never had the surgery!!!!!

You might want to ask your Dr. for something that will not make you nauseated. I know the first week after my surgery I had an allergic reaction to some lawn chemicals that my husband had sprayed, and my family doctor gave me something for nausea that wasn't too big for me to swallow. That might help some. I know in the hospital they probably gave it to you too, but through IV, because it is very important that you don't the first couple of weeks after surgery.

Welcome to the A-team, Melynda. We had surgery on the same day, 4-18. You've lost much more weight than I have (30 lbs.) but I think bulimia is cheating. Seriously, I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time of it. I gotta believe it'll get easier soon. DD

had to laugh david .. but u r a male and u guys lose so much faster .. being a male is also cheating LOL.. be well lisa

Have you let your dr. know what was going on..... I had that problem a couple weeks ago....I changed what I was starting my day off with....I was upsetting my stomach with milk protein shakes first thing in the morning and then I was eatting the rest of the day just tearing it up even more....

congradulations on your surgery and weight loss ... wow u r doing amazing ,, my hubby was like u but i can tell u he has lost over 100lbs in less than 8 mos where most people who did not have a rought start did not.. guess turtles do win the race.. it will get better but hubby can only eat fish shrimp and sometimes poultry he never had sugar dumping I had my surgery on april 18 aswell but i had a lap band i have lost 21 lbs ... but i am losing soooooooooooooooo many inches yeah!!!!! i battle being sore and the thought of exercise scares me lol be well and welcome to the A team Lisa
