Nausea and being tired -- 3 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
