Anyone else nauseated all the time?
Hi October Babes and Babettes..
I am down 52 pounds since my surger Oct. 27! But...I am sooooo nauseated all the time and when I'm not nauseated I have a funny feeling in my pouch, almost like too much air and need to burp but can't. Not pain, just bubbly feeling. Anyone else experiencing this? I have to FORCE myself to eat and remember to eat.
I actually miss eating too. I miss being able to sit down and have a nice meal. I hope this nausea passes soon. I get regrets and don't want to feel this way.
Hugs!

I had several weeks of chronic nausea that drove me insane. I thought I could handle it, but eventually started even crying about it. Then, one day - WHAM it was gone.
I researched some articles on morning sickness remedies, and found that some of those things helped - like wearing the motion-sickness bands on my wrists, taking 1/2 a unisom (at night only of course), eating a couple chips with salt and vinegar... you might try that!
I've been like that for the past couple of weeks - but I had the flu last week. I was wondering if you all are still on antacids? I was given a 6 month prescription, but I noticed I only took it maybe 3 times in the past 2 weeks.....I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
This IS getting miserable. I get hungry and make something yummy, then after 1 or 2 bites I feel so sick. Even liquids make me queasy. I am back on top of taking the Prevacid - I've taken it 3 days in a row now. I hope I feel better within a couple of days....I'm feeling like going back to stage 1 since yogurt, popsicles and such are the only things I can stand.

So sorry to hear about this nausea. I'm not sure what you're eating, but on the days when I don't eat much I get that nostalgic feeling about eating a "normal" (did I ever really eat normally???) meal. 2 days ago I hardly ate anything...had a rough go at lunch, but then yesterday I ate cereal for breakfast, soup w/crackers for lunch and a nice little Wendy's side salad for supper..I almost did feel normal! Each day will bring new experiences and I have to think that eventually your nausea will settle down. Do you drink sodas? I used to but now I rarely do and sometimes they make me feel queasy. I hope all goes well for you. Hang in there!

I had a lot of nausea until about 2 weeks ago. When I talked to my dietician she told me that I needed to eat more protein. When I added more protein, sure enough the nausea was gone. I understand what you mean about being able to eat. I can't hardly stand to wait for my husband to finish a whole plate of food. I get so bored and don't want to watch him because I would love to be able to finish my food too! I have had a harder time with the mind struggle then with the eating part. Hope you feel better soon! There is an rx out there called Phenagran. I take it when I get nauseated and it helps. Ask your doc about it if you continue with the nausea.
