I'm day 4 post-op and I suddenly have a bad upset stomach. I feel like all the liquids is going in and back out... TMI sorry but I'm wondering if anyone else has had trouble with an upset stomach right after surgery.

I'm in the same boat. I think the antibiotic is giving me diarrhea and nausea.

Im spitting up foam too....feels nasty!

:mellow:Simply put, liquid in liquid out? Pain meds, if you are taking any, will upset the tummy without food. You aren't eating yet and that might be the cause. Keep sipping your water and whatever other fluids your doc told you and it should settle down. Most of the protein drinks have milk in them and milk is like a whole food.

Normal. Lasts a few day. It will pass........literally.

I can't have Protein drinks yet... Just Clear Liquids. Second week I get to add Protein Drinks and creamy Soups, and I can't wait!

It will get better! I was the same way... I'm now 8 days post op

Try some peppermint tea. It can soothe nausea. Or you might thin out some Pepto. If it is really bad, call your surgeon and ask for some anti-nausea meds. It isn't uncommon after surgery to experience it. They can call in a prescription for you.

Oh boy do I know what you mean! I'm four days post op also and had terrible nausea and vomiting on my day 2 as well through the nights. My surgeon took me off my antibiotics as well as pain meds. I'm not feeling that bad now but I have a very gassy tummy today that is starting to get really annoying!

Liquid in = liquid out. This too shall pass.
