Morning sickness questions - TMI warning!
Hi,
Most of you wouldn't know me, I didn't comment much even when I was pregnant and TTC but a few oldies might. After a MMC & D&C in December, we caught the 1st egg and I"m 4w3d today. This is my 4th pregnancy (terminated 1st at 18, DS, MMC, new one now) and I only had MS with the 1st one, but it was really 24/7 with almost no puking - which I think is worse, because at least when you puke, you feel better for a bit!
This is my 1st time post op though (4 years in 3 days, wow time flies!) with MS. Most of the time I don't have nausea, it's like that "too full" feeling you get post op - usually "too full" is accompanies by a bit of pain (or a lot) and I can just lean over and let some out and be done with it. The morning sickness is similar, except I'm giving back at least 1/2 of almost everything I ingest. I just suddenly feel the need to get up and "puke". There's rarely any gagging (though I don't have a uvula, which might help that), I tend to just lean over and out it comes. No violence to it, if that makes sense. I get occasional waves of nausea, but they don't often coincide with the actual puking.
Is this normal post op? Am I a freak? Am I just eating too much? (the last one doesn't seem likely as the "too full" puking would usually stop when I got out the "too much" when not pregnant) Is this too much puking for MS? I don't think it's HG since I can keep some of what I eat down... Would drugs help? I happen to see my doc Friday for my D&C follow up (normally wouldn't see the OB til 10 weeks here) so I can get drugs if necessary. It doesn't cause distress other than it's annoying and certain foods really DON'T mix... ;)
Apologies for the TMI and thank you for reading and any advice you have. :)

While possible, I don't think it is a bug, since I basically feel 100% (tired as usual during the 1st tri) most of the time. My first pregnancy was 24/7 nausea, not vomiting, 18 years ago and preop so unfortunately, I can't really compare. I wish I could, I'd feel a lot better!
I don't think my doc will treat me any differently (the last one at the same practice didn't) because of my VSG, hoping that other WLS post-ops know what I'm going through.

I have talked to the dr about it, and they always say "how is your morning sickness? Are you throwing up?" I feel like a broken record telling them that I have not thrown up or been able to for almost 4 years now! Every visit is the same though. I am even seeing a high risk OB who specializes in Post RNY pregnancies.
That sucks, I know that actually getting some out would provide relief. :( Does the doc worry at all about you, or are they saying it's normal?

That sucks. I saw you dumped today too, I have had a mild form of that once or twice, my condolences. :(
As for me - starting to have nausea a bit as well as more urgent and sudden need (rather than burping up food, which is normal for me, even pre-op), so I'm thinking this is definitely MS and it's probably only going to get worse. YAY. :(
