I had my sleeve the same day as you. I had trouble with nausea bad for the first two weeks. I had iv, pill, and liquid forms of various anti-nausea meds. You should tell your surgeon about how you feel, maybe they can give you something to help. Also, my nutritionist told me that nausea is a bad cycle because you don't eat and then you feel even more nauseous. You should try the VSG forum and you will get tons of responses- it is aVERY active forum. I hope you feel better soon!
I had a VSG on 11/13 and have been very lucky with no nausea BUT nausea can be a problem for VSGers and it can last up to 6 months in the worst cases but usually subsides much sooner. Hang in there and take the nausea meds.
