Is it normal to feel Nauseated???



Recommended Posts

I had my band on June 30th and I have had a terrible time feeling nauseated. I don't throw up anything I drink, and was suppose to do 2-weeks of liquid after the surgery, but yesterday decided to scramble some eggs, which I kept down. I am so tired of feeling sick to my stomach. Has anyone else experienced this??

I was banded the same day as you. When I came home I was given some meds for nausea. I'm not sure if you were given any, but I would take some. You have to remember our stomach is readjusting to have some actual food in our stomach after being on shakes and Soups. But if it continues, I would call the doctor's office just to make sure you can move on to the mushies.

I had to move on to the mushies stage because I was getting hungry again and the Soup and shakes just wasn't hitting the spot. So far, I haven't felt the way you feel. Yesterday, I even had ground turkey and salmon yesterday and felt very full and satisfied.

Go to CVS and get some liquid Emotrol. It's cherry flavored and not only helps the nausea, the flavor helps the nasty taste you get from the liquid diet.< /p>

My surg was 7/1 and I've never had nausea. I have strange feelings and rumblings in my tummy, not no nausea - thankfully! I have suppositories from my doc if that happens, but I think I'm in the clear now.

You may need to ask your doctor to write you a prescription for an anti-emetic. You should have been given some at the recovery room post-op... and it would have been nice for your surgeon to prescribe one to take home.

I was feeling fine during recovery... but I had a very difficult time with nausea the first two days after surgery. Unfortunately, I wasn't given an anti-emetic to go home with... and my surgery was on Friday so I had to wait until Monday for a script. But by then, I was feeling fine.

I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering from nausea... for me...it's one of the worst feelings in the world. Severely diminishes your quality of life.

I hope you feel better soon!

We were told to buy Pepcid Complete. It Worked ! It's pricey, so go to the website and get a coupon, or try no name brand. I still keep some in the house.

Thanks everyone!! My doctor's appointment is tomorrow, so hopefully I'll at least know nothing major is wrong.

I didnt have nausea at your stage, but since being banded long term, I now get sea sick, car sick, plane sick, cant go on amusement park rides anymore, and suffered terribly from nausea during chemotherapy where previously I was one of those people who NEVER felt nauseas. I had a cast Iron stomach but not any longer.

Ask your pharmacy for Meclizine. It is an over the counter medication for motion sickness and vertigo. Works very well!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
