Nauseous

[soontobeskinnymini 20]

First couple weeks after surgery I felt amazing, everything went down well the more I graduated into soft foods. Lately though the last two weeks I'd say everything I eat I take a bite and get nauseous. I throw up probably twice a week and not because food is stuck (trust me had that happen I know how that feels) or just I'm full it's literally my first bite and just because....I didn't read anything about this being a side affect, is this normal???

This happened to me. I changed my Vitamin and split the dose half am&pm, it got better fast.Seems lots of people have this problem with Bariatric Advantage chewables.< /p>

I've been having issues in the morning, my doc says when your stomach is empty over night sometimes it has an over abundance of acid so even drinking Water first thing in the AM makes me queezy. He just added to my perscription of prilosec to help keep my acid reduced as much as possible. My friend wrote about this and was right on the money with what my doc said:

Expect to be on a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) after surgery. If your surgeon does not bring this up, please be proactive and ask about being on one. If he/she doesn't prescribe one as a matter of course, generic over-the-counter PPIs (NOT antacids) are available and quite inexpensive.

PPIs are Nexium, Prilosec and Protonix; antacids are Pepcid, Tums or Rolaids. Many, many people have posted that Prevacid does not help, despite falling into the PPI category. It didn't do anything for me.

The feeling of hunger immediately post op? Most often it's acid and a PPI will control it.

Burning heartburn or acid reflux post op? Get on a PPI, not an antacid.

A really noisy new sleeve? Could be acid and a PPI will help. It could also just be a healing tummy, though, and is very common.

Do you feel pain, pressure or like food is coming back up when you lie down? It's acid. Take a PPI, and don't eat immediately before you sleep. sleep with your head inclined until the PPI controls the problem.

Everyone is different. I was only in need of a PPI for 3-4 months post op, though in times of stress (and apparently, pregnancy), I feel the need for one short term. More common seems to be 6 months of use and some people need them for a year.

I take a PPI and was also given a prescription for 2 different nausea meds. before leaving the hospital. I filled them but didn't use them. Apparently it's so common that my place automatically prescribes for it.

Wish I could give you some..

I have Reglin I think it's called? For stomach and nausea, a nausea patch and ondansetron so three different kinds of nausea meds. I felt fine the first 3 weeks I'd say but now it's all day and comes in waves. It's getting to the point where I don't even want to eat because I know one bite and I won't be feeling good. It's impossible to be in a social setting right now. I hope it gets better I just want to feel normal again...I'm a slow loser also so right now I'm regretting surgery a little bit.
