i've been feeling bad lately. i m 3 weeks post op today and have had bad nausea for days. i can't hardly eat nor drink without feeling nauseated and the feeling sticks around all day. i fear i'll end up im the hospital for dehydration. i've lost 24.4lbs and shojld be ecstatic, but really i just feel down since i feel bad physically. any advice? thanks for "listening"

Has your doctor gave you any meds for nausea?? Also my surgeon told me that nausea is a symptom of dehydration. So try to sip your way through 64 ounces of fluid, that should help. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you tried drinking g2 gatorade and did your doc give you something for the nausea?

I'm only four days post op and I'm scared to death of a leak.

i went to mexico for my surgery. i contacted my coordinator and she said the nausea is normal. could it be acid?

It could be acid. I took protonix daily for the 1st 3 months after surgery because of acid but now I take it as needed. G2 gatorade will help keep you from being dehydrated. It is also low in calories and have no sugar or fat I believe.

thanks i called my PCP and am just waiting for the callback. i'll get some gatorade at lunch.

tyvette04, i wouldn't worry about a leak. chances are pretty slim. make sure you follow your post op diet and i'm sure you will be fine. signs of a leak are fever, nausea, abdominal pain and chills to name a few.

You sure getting through the hardest part hang in there. I think it's pretty normal feelings. I wonder too if it's not acid causing your issues. I've bern dealing with trying to get the acid under control the whole time even now at terry months out.

UPDATE: I went to E.R. last night. Everything is ok, just dehydrated. I was given nausea meds, an acid reducer, and I.V. fluids. I'm feeling better and hope the good feelings last lol. Let's do this thing!!!
