2 Days Post Open Severe Nausea



Recommended Posts

My daughter just had surgery on Thursday 3/26 and is having severe nausea to the point where she doesn't want to drink anything. She is also having alot of pain where her stomach is and says it feels like something is stuck in her esophagus like how a large pill feels when stuck. The pain and nausea are unbearable. Is this normal? Any advice?

She needs to contact the doc as soon as possible and if she can't reach him go to the hospital. Extreme nausea and extreme pain is not normal.

I had pretty bad pain the first day at home so they called me in a stronger pain pill which worked extremely well. You may want to ask. Hopefully that nausea medication is going to help her.

I had really bad nausea and was given an anti nausea med. And was also on Percocet to dull the pain. If that's not doing it and the doc won't do anything (have you gotten the doc or the nurses?) go to the hospital...if it's truly that bad. No reason to get dehydrated and be in terrible pain. That's what I'd do if it was me.

Thanks all, she's on hydrocodone at a pretty high dose but she didn't take it today because the liquid hurts going down. I talked to two surgeons on call, one was an ass but the second called in a different nausea meds. Hoping that will work. I've discovered how unbelievably stubborn she can be. If it persists like this I will take her to the ER.

I didn't have nausea but had wicked pain. Drinking anything was a real effort. She needs to take her pain meds, rest, try to move around the best she can a few times a day, and do her best on hydration. Some people really suffer at first. Once I reached two weeks, things got much better.

Thanks JCP it's nice to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Her liquid hydrocodone really burns. I tasted a little bit and can understand. Did you guys have liquid pain meds?

Is it possible it's the pain med adding to it? I'm not scheduled for a couple more weeks, but I cannot take anything with hydrocodone. It makes me very nauseous now, so I doubt it will be doable after I'm sleeved.

She went without pain meds last night, still not drinking much at all. She has taken them before and hasn't had the nausea like this. This is barf bag to her face pretty much all day kind of nausea.

They have suppository pain and nausea meds. Can they order that if she can't swallow?

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
