Just wondering if anyone was very nauseated post op? I had surgery today and I've been very nauseated. I've tried to eat some Jell-o and really can't eat much. Anyone have any suggestions? I am to follow stage 1 diet, which is clear liquids.

Hi - totally normal. I was nauseous the day of surgery and the next morning. I only had water the first day and green tea, water and a tiny bit of skim milk the next. Hang in there and walk around when you can - it helps so much. I am 5 days post op and each day gets exponentially better.

I would call your doc about it, mine had meds available to stop the nausea, I had a patch until day 4 then after that I had to keep something (water, juice, protein shake) in my stomach or it was awful. Even the liquid painkillers helped.

I agree with everyone else... I was fine the first 3 days because if the nausea patch our doc gave us. Then I had the worst nausea ever! Days 4 and 5 I could barely sip water because of the nausea. I went for a barium swallow to make sure all was well and then he gave me a rx for zofran for the nausea. I have been awesome since! Like they said everyday gets better and better! We can do this!!

I have phenergan to take for the nausea. I was nauseated coming out of surgery as well when I ate the ice chips and they gave me both zofran and phenergan. Hopefully in time the nausea will calm down. I haven't been able to "eat" much today, mostly trying to sip water, had a popsicle and just trying to stay as hydrated as possible.

If that doesn't work, perhaps your dr. can prescribe a different med.

Also, for future, if you have surgery again tell that you get nauseous and they can give you stuff before and during surgery to avoid that. I had a patch on and they gave me meds as I had severe nausea after surgery some years back.

Same here. I let them know I get very nauseous after abdominal surgery so they gave me a patch and plenty of nausea meds. Then a take home phenergan and oxycodone I had no problem after that.

are you taking lortab? Or some other narcotic pain med? If so that could be the culprit. My doc gave me permission to just take liquid Tylenol/Motrin. It worked and I've had absolutely no nausea. In fact I'm starving and I was able to eat Soup today.

It very normal! I too was very nauseous day one of post/surgery. I even threw up (even tho there was nothing in my body to throw up..except bile). You're going to be okay

I was on the second day and I figured out that it was the pain meds making me sick. I stopped taking them and just took ibuprofen when I needed it. I didn't have any problems after that.

I was given anti sickness meds as I always react like this with general anesthetic.

Did they give u nausea meds? I was so nauseous after surgery I couldn't stand up to take an X-ray to make sure the band was positioned correctly. Every time I stood up for like the first few days the nausea wave hit me. Totally normal, just rest if u do throw up u need to call ur doctor
