Hi Guys, I got banded on 04/02 (last Friday). I have done pretty well so far with the exception of the normal gas pain and discomfort.

However, this mornin, I woke up feeling very naseaous, I also started my TOM (time of month) overnight. I am not sure if there is any relation to my nausea. I am still on liquids and at this moment I cannot phatom having another Protein drink. I have been sipping on calorie free lemonade to cut down on the naseauted feeling.

I have called my doctor and left a message. Any advise from the vetrans will help.

I wish I could offer more help but I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have any nausea. I think the only time was the first day and they had given me Finnegran tablets for at home. Is there any way maybe they can prescribe some for you? There is also an over the counter nausea medication you can take - I can't remember what it's called but if you ask the pharmacist, they'll tell you.

I got my TOM about 4 days post surgery and so I did feel like crap for a few days. Make sure your Protein drinks have some Iron in them because you're already on reduced calories and with the TOM, you lose some iron. That could make you feel crappy, too.

Hope you feel better soon! I'm a little over 2 weeks out and feel great. It's one of those things where you'll wake up and all of the sudden feel 100% better. I promise!

One thing that helped me was drinking (sipping) warm liquid jello.

Hi there... I hope you feel better soon... I have been post op 8 months almost to the date... and my TOM started last night and I am having this too right now... so I think it has more to do with that-- my band seems to tighten up and swell during those TOM.... now not all my TOM do I get the nausea-- but it sure is happening right now...
