Was wondering if some of the nausea people are feeling post op is caused by the sudden change in diet? My husband gets low carb flu, and it makes me think this is related, and if going really low carb a few weeks before sx would help? Not to say that the sx itself doesn't induce some, but wondering if it would be improved quicker by preparing your body better before sx?

How far are you from surgery? I only experienced nauseas for the first 2-3 weeks. Later on improved . I was on Zofran for my nauseas.

I'm about 3 months from surgery. When you start a low carb diet, some people will feel nauseous as well - my husband does, for sure. He gets the infamous "flu" from it, so I was wondering if that might simply make things a little worse in the beginning.

I've never taken Zofran, but part of the reason I am concerned is because I am really prone to nausea and want to do anything I can to avoid it post-op!! Is Zofran really effective?

I'm very susceptible to nausea as well. I even get motion sick when I'M driving sometimes!! I only experienced nausea in the hospital for the first two days. And really not very much after the leak test, and I finally got to drink something. One thing that may have helped is that I was on ONLY Clear liquids for the entire first week. I believe this helps reduce the nausea too. In the hospital when I was feeling like that, they just gave me some nausea meds in my i.v. and that fixed it right up. Don't psych yourself into it. Just wait and see how you feel.
