I'm 20 years old 2 weeks out of my surgery. I have really bad nausea and I regret having the surgery but I mostly think this way when I'm feeling the nausea. :/

I'm sorry to hear about your nausea & regrets. Hopefully, your Dr gave you anti-nausea meds that can help you feel better.

You may want to ask your Dr's office about why you're experiencing this. Is it something you're eating that isn't sitting well, are you getting any Protein in (at this stage, it might be way too early to get your Protein requirements), are you getting enough fluids (are you sipping or perhaps swallowing too quickly).... ?

These are all possible questions, but the only one who can really help you is your surgeon. Please don't have any regrets until you know what's going on. Typically, things really do get better. It's a lifestyle change & it definitely takes some getting used to. I'm 5 weeks post-op & am feeling things out food-wise. Each day is a new adventure on what I can eat or how much.

Hang in there & talk to your Dr's office. It'll get better ;-)

Ask your dr for anti nausea meds. I ask for anti meds prior to surgery and was never nauseated. The 'first four week after surgery is challenging, .however', just be patient and this too shall pass :)

Don't get discouraged and don't think that way. It's still too soon. Are you getting nauseous after you eat? Is it random?

If it's after you eat, if helps if you inhale and exhale not too deep but just normal. Try to relax and just sip on your liquids. Don't use a straw!!!!! Through the straw you suck a lot of air through your mouth to your stomach so that can also cause nausea.

I promise it'll get better and you'll love that you decided to get it done....!

I do suggest that if the nausea continues, you let your doctor know. Not sure how much weight you've lost but it can also be your gallbladder giving you problems because of rapid weight loss. Keep an eye on that. Especially if you begin to get pain after you eat.

Don't stress!! Enjoy the new you!! :)

      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.

      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!
