Today I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I got up and ate an egg hoping that would make me feel better. But it didn't. Has anyone felt so sick and/or nauseous and didnt eat anything? I just feel if I do try and eat something I'm going to puke. I barley was able to keep my Vitamins down with Water. Any body has suggestions on what I should do?

My Doctor told me at about 3weeks I will probably feel sick to my stomach. Hang in there. Try a few mini saltine crackers.

I am four months out and still have bad days. I use Zofran frequently to help with the nausea. Saltine crackers also help. My nausea has been since surgery and somedays I can eat something and be fine the next eat the same thing and nauseous. On my bad days I just drink protein drinks and water....

Thank you guys I will for sure do the crackers...it has been a roller coaster day and really didn't eat anything.

Yes still at 11 months post up I have my days that I vomit for no reason

Hi

My ops in a week and I have all these worries. What are protein drinks like I am thinking of getting some for a back up. I hate feeling or being sick. Good luck x

Unjury is all I can handle after surgery and I have to make it with milk, NOT WATER, if I did water, I'd hurl. I also found I have to use flavored syrups to cover up the horrible protein flavor.

I did, a little, upping my fluids helped.

It will be trial and error on the Protein Drinks after surgery. Your taste buds will change. Talk to your nut and see if she has any sample packs for you to have on hand.. mine did. If not, I would suggest having a few sample packs of different ones on hand to try after surgery. Dont spend alot of money before surgery. I did and threw out so much.

WOW!! I'm post of 4/17 and I too began the worst 48 hours ever. I cannot eat or drink anything!!! I'm so glad I came across your thread. I started with zofran again today which helped but didn't solve. I'm finishing out 48 hours w/no protein and hardly even water. I was in bathroom much of the night. I'm going to try a cracker in a few mins.

Day 3. How do I know something isn't wrong?

If you are unable to hold liquids down then I would be very concerned and call your surgeon as you can easily become very dehydrated and ill. I also tell people that if they get sick like vomit after they eat or it hurts call their surgeon. Even on my bad days I was always able to drink and get Protein in.

I'm glad to have found this site. I too am in a similar situation. I had the lapband removale/by pass surgery on April 29. So today is the 2 week anniversary. The first few days, I felt pretty good. (except for the Arm gas pain) It lasted about 9 days. It sucked, but I knew it would pass. The first week, I was trying my hardest to get water and protein shakes in. I was doing, mostly ok. I dont think I ever met my goal, but I was coming pretty close. A few days ago, My left side hurt. It was sharp, but I looked online, and when I read its normal, I felt better. I moved onto harder liquids on day 10. I seem to tolerate greek yogurt, cottage cheese rather well.

All in all I was doing ok. As of Last night, I was nauseas. Today, all day, same thing. I never vomited once, but felt like I was about to. I think it was a little bit of constipation. My stool seems ok, not dark or bloody. I do get to see my dr on thursday for my first check up, and I will make sure I let her know of the little problems I have been having. I do think, Im partly dehydrated. My tounge today was white, and very dry feeling. So I will try much harder to reach those goals.
