One question and want to say THANKS!
I wake up with a sick stomach every morning. My stomach feels empty and nauseous and I don't know what to put in it. I try a few sips of a protein shake, get my vitamins in and move on to water. Is there anything, anyone has found that helps first thing in the a.m.? My surgery was 9/26 and my taste buds have been out of whack since.
I also just wanted to say thanks to this forum! My WL has stalled in the past couple weeks to a big fat 0, but I did a search and everybody does it. I'm sick of hating the taste of food and worried about it and guess what... did a search and most of you have been there and experienced it. So with that said, I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

it is fairly normal to have a 'weird' stomach in the AM- i usually warm mine up with warm liquids and wait about an hour or so to eat breakfast.
sometimes for me it is related to acid from laying down- sometimes not.
if it causes you pain though, talk to surgeon. my acid would get so bad and it ended up being my GB

Ginger tea or Peppermint tea worked for me.
I could not stand the taste of coffee for several months after surgery, but my coffee obsession has returned along with my old taste buds.
I think it is the lack of fluids through the night that causes the nausea first thing in the morning. As soon as I get a few cups of fluid in I feel better.
I can't eat anything for 1 or 2 hrs after waking up. The one thing do I crave is ice cold water though. I have always been a big water drinker anyways but since surgery it is even more so.
I am at a stall as well. It's been over 3 weeks and it is frustrating! Can't wait until WE start losing again.
Good luck with everything.

Are you taking omeprazole and when? Try changing it...I was taking mine at bedtime because that's when my husband always took his...he gets reflux during the night. I was having discomfort early in the day and my dh suggested switching the omeprazole to morning, and it did help. I'm also just coffee in the AM until 10 or so.
