3 days post op.. So nauseous, help?



Recommended Posts

3 days post op. First 2 days were fine. Today I've been so sick to my stomach. I've been able to keep my Protein Shakes down. I've taken my liquid Zantac as prescribed twice a day. Does anyone know if they sell those little stickers over the counter or something in a non pill form? Yuck I hate this feeling.

I was just banded last Wednesday and was so nauseous because I wasn't getting enough calories. My doctor told me that I could have yogurt and baby food. After I ate some baby food I felt so much better. You can also try some ginger tea or mixing some ginger into your food. It's a natural tummy soother. Good luck and I'm sorry you are feeling bad. :-(

Definitely call your surgeon, but in the meantime try to sip Water or suck on ice chips.

Nausea can be a symptom of dehydration, and that can cause you to possibly end up in the ER for IV hydration. I didn't realize this newly post op, and ended up in the ER.

I hope you feel better fast...

While your waiting for surgeons office to open... Mine told me that low calorie Gatorade will help if you are at the point of dehydration and feeling nauseous. Hopefully someone can run out and get you some and you can sip some down. The electrolytes help. Hand in there.

My surgeons office is closed all week. I know that my dr is on call 24 hours, I'm just trying to not bother him. I will try consuming more calories and drinking more. I will be sending my dad to get me some gatoraide later. I tolerate liquids and full cream blended Soups just fine, I'm just not hungry so I forget to eat. So far I've had 1 Protein Drink and half a can of cream of chicken Soup. That's been since 830am to 1230p. I'll keep on sipping. Plus... I haven't had a bowel movement since Friday. Could this be reason of nausea too?

Bother your doc. That is what he gets paid the very big bucks for! :) You need an anti nausea med. You should not be vomiting. My surgeon prescribed me a good one. He is adamant that his patients not vomit. I didn't need mine right after surgery but it is coming in handy now, when my gallbladder acts like an a*sshole and I feel sick.

Never feel guilty about asking your doctor to give you the medical care and attention you need. That is what they are there for. If they are unwilling to step up, we have the power to go elsewhere. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
