Nausea and being tired -- 3 weeks post op

Hi

Can someone tell me if they experienced nausea and being tired 3 weeks post op? I don't feel quite right sometimes and other times I feel fine. The nausea today came after waking up at 10 and drinking my Protein drink. Then I waited and took my medicines. Now I'm feeling sick and really tired.

Why does this happen? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm feeling that way right now at 3weeks. I think part of it is the heartburn. Good to know it gets better.

  • I am 5 weeks post-op and still feel nauseous every time I eat. Food doesn't quite taste right either. I am hoping this will pass in a few weeks.

    I have a difficult time with nausea in the morning. Usually it seems to coincide whether I take my vitamins and meds before I eat or after. I think when I take them after I eat, then it is a little

This is happening to me also. My doctor told me to only drink half the shake in the morning. So now I get up and drink a whole cup of tea with milk and then I drink half my shake. I am drinking smaller amounts thru out the day. I have been feeling better. Today I also had 2oz of cream of wheat after the tea.

I am feeling that as I am typing right now. At first I thought it was because I hadn't ate anything yet so I was going to try some yogurt but as soon as I took a little bite, I felt like I was going to puke. So I quit eating that. Idk what else to do so I'm going to call my doctor asap

I had that around three weeks. It's much better now, at 8 weeks. Weeks 3-6 were pretty rough, with the nausea and lack of appetite. Hang in there !

I have a difficult time with nausea in the morning. Usually it seems to coincide whether I take my vitamins and meds before I eat or after. I think when I take them after I eat, then it is a little better. Still monitoring this. I'm definitely not enjoying anything that I eat. Today I had a lean cuisine meal. I actually ate all of it, not at one time but eventually I did finish it. I had to run an errand while I took a break from eating it. I remember thinking as I was headed back home "darn, I've got to try and finish eating that thing." (like making a child do something that don't want to do) I made myself do it, because I'm not eating anything really. Still have problems getting protein/fluid amounts in. I know I have a vit D deficiency - so I'm getting a little scared about the whole lack of eating thing right now. I also hate vomiting so, that's got me spooked too about eating. I keep hearing "it gets better" and I hold on to those thoughts as best I can. Sore joints, muscles, back - my whole body feels foreign to me right now. Oh yeah, and I don't seem to like the taste of any food at this point.
