I've had a very smooth post-op. No pain, no nausea, no throwing up (except once when I made myself throw up) and could tolerate all liquids and puree or mushy food that I tried.

In the last two weeks I started with a deep gnawing empty feeling, almost like hunger but not quite. It was almost constant. I also had an almost constant feeling of slight nausea, especially when drinking Water or flavored water (not my Protein shakes). When I would have my Protein shake I would get some relief from both the nausea and gnawing feeling. I'm guessing ulcer and I remembered the beginning of it coincided with my taking Advil (3 is my normal dose) 2 days in a row on an empty stomach ( I just wasn't thinking). The gnawing empty feeling has pretty much disappeared but the nausea is a little worse. I'm avoiding drinking because drinking makes it worse.

I did call the doc's office and they gave me Zofran, which I don't see helping very much.

I'm just wondering if anybody on here has developed nausea weeks after surgery (I'm 5 weeks out) and if so, did it resolve on it's own? I'm not getting in my liquids and I also don't feel like eating...

I'm on Prevacid 2x daily.

Thanks for any insight...

Be careful with the zofran - it stops things coming up, and going out, if you know what I mean!

So that is the reason things suddenly stopped "going out"!! It's been like a week! Thanks for letting me know!

dana...i wonder if aybeu need either a higher dose of the prevacid or maybe a different brand......r u making sure ur taking it on an empty stomach and then not eting for at least 30 min after taking it???

I'm experiencing exactly that now. I'm curious if it went away? If you figured it the cause? I was doing so good, and now I don't even want to eat... And yet I'm hungry.

I am 9 weeks p/o and experiencing this as well. It feels like the hunger pain you feels after not eating all day but I have eaten. Any ideas?
