Nauseated! Help!



Recommended Posts

I had surgery march 14 and I've been doing great and eating as I've been told. Starting about a week ago, though, I'm nauseated all the time. I even wake up in the middle of the night nauseated. Anyone have any ideas why i might get nauseated so much or even think this is from Lapband?

Are you still taking pain killers? On liquids? Could you be pregnant?

No painkillers or liquids, and no chance I could be pregnant. I'm thinking it has something to do with what I'm eating.

Def discuss with the doc. But I remember when I started solids (eating better...lots of veggies) I too had a little of this happening for a few weeks. Maybe my body just adjusting to new foods, etc. Or maybe just a little stomach virus.

Either way...call the doc.

I was nauseous and on Zofran for a month following my surgery. My surgeon said I had a lot of inflammation and was a slow healer. It didn't matter what I ate,everything made me nauseous. It eventually went away, but I was really regretting my decision to have the surgery. It's been three years now and I have had periods of being unable to eat, it lasts about a week, and then I go back to normal. Endoscopy shows stomach inflammation. It has only happened twice. My Dr says it is just my body's reaction to a foreign object. You should talk to your surgeon though, because everyone is different.

I did the same thing called doctor and got a script for promethazine and always have it on hand just in case but it was gone in a couple of months.

Just curious what are you eating? Are you still doing Protein Shake? Might need one lactose free?

Definitely check in with your surgeon about the nausea.

Are you drinking enough fluids? Nausea is a symptom of dehydration. I did not realize this, and ended up in the ER as a result.

I recall as a newer Bandster that I was extremely challenged to get the recommended amounts of Water every day...and it never occurred to me that the nausea was because of my dehydration.

Hope you feel better...and sipping Water may help you feel better.

      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!!
