Hi Annie, I had surgery 9-13-07 and have not had any problems with nausea so far. The only time I notice my new tummy is not happy is first thing in the morning when I take my first couple drinks of water, it is almost like I wake up before my tummy does. Other than that the only thing I have noticed is that the past couple of days my upper abs have been very sore, going from around the sides to the center by my tummy. I was at the ER with my son yesterday for 5 hours and it started after that so I really think that the so very comfortable chairs they have started it. I am sorry you got something stuck, everytime I read about someone having it, I remind myself to chew, chew, chew. Definately not something I want to experience. I can't complain about any part of the surgery, I saw my doc Monday and my first nut follow up yesterday and have lost 17 pounds so far. I am so excited to see where this journey takes us! Have a great evening. Holly

Hey Becky... I have lost 32 lbs since the start of my Liquid diet (2weeks bfore) and 14 since surgery! woohoo.

Thank You so much for your reply. Yes that makes sense. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong but I guess I must be doing something RIGHT. I am in fact enjoying my weight-loss...for the first time in memory I am actually looking forward to stepping on the scales in the morning!

I'm one week post op also. My gastric bypass was 9-19. I was wobbly until this morning and then all of a sudden woke up after a full night of sleep and the fog had lifted. Don't give up hope! My biggest complaint is that I've been hungry for two days even though I'm getting all the protein and all 64 fluid ounces in. I ate a sugar free pudding today and even took a couple of bites of cottage cheese (slowly and until liquid of course), but I feel kinda weak, light headed and have a rumbly, hungry tummy every two or three hours. At first I thought I was just bored and so tried to distract myself by walking around the block, reading a book or talking on the phone, but nope, it's real hunger. Luckily I found Penny on this site, read her blog and her first week talked about hunger. I wrote to her and she said she was hungry for two weeks and then, bam, no more and never again. Gave me HUGE hope. This website is the best thing ever! So, back to you mom. My guess is that the wobbly legs are still from anesthesia wearing off or weakness from it being a major surgery or just because darn it, we're not EATING anything and that it'll go away in a day or two. Hopefully you'll just wake up one day and feel a spark of energy again. Good luck! Sue

I'm kind of with you on this....feels like my esophogus is burning all the time. I had mine done the day after you. I'm just sticking to my montra "keep the faith"...and hoping that works for me! Like you...I'm not in a lot of pain except for that annoyance in my throat/chest.
