Anyone else have this problem?

Had VBG end of Jan. Always feel nauseated, especially in the evening and about 3 or 4 nights a week, I throw up. I know I'm not eating too much. I've lost 36 lbs since Jan 24, but even water makes me nauseous. I'm not sure whether to call the Dr. or wait to see if it improves. I'm wondering if it will always be like this or if things will eventually get better?

Hi Lia, I am guessing that you recently started eating solid food again. If I am correct about that it might have something to do with the nausea. I remember I had a really rough time with solid food in the beginning...in fact I still do to some extent. Foods of a softer texture tend to go down easier for me and I think for most people that is true. I am having a rough time getting my protein in lately and I try to stick to tuna salad and chili and things like that to get me through. If I really slow down and chew chew chew I find it much easier to tolerate eating solid foods...oh and I also measure to make sure I will not overeat and get sick. Right now it is all about trial and error, so u almost might expect to get sic****asionally. Still if the condition does not improve very soon please call your surgeon or PCP. Perhaps they can give you some meds to help you get through. Remember you are still pretty early out, so your body also might still be healing too. Good luck to you and if you have any questions for me directly please feel free to email me Big hugs, Sara 356/274/175

Hi Lia, Things do get better. For me, almost too much better. I am 3 1/2 years post op and I had lots of throwing up in the beginning. Could`nt hardly tolerate meat at all for almost a year. Just be careful and follow dr orders, especially this first year. Enjoy the weightloss right now. The "honeymoon period" only lasts about a year. I still can`t eat as much as I used to, but I can eat pretty normally now. I can even eat some steak now! It`s common to get a little depressed in the early months, but life will get back to normal. God bless.

HI LIA I AM 8YRS POST OP AND I THINK YOU BETTER GO SEE YOUR DOC. WATER SHOULD ALWAYS GO DOWN UNLESS YOU ARE DRINKING AFTER A MEAL. SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BAND MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM. GOOD LUCK K.E
