Still nauseous after 10 days plus no stamina



Recommended Posts

After 10 days I find myself very easily nauseous. I also have very little stamina. It's hard to get these walks in. I am SO thirsty that all I crave is Water. The last few days have been OK but still nauseous every day. Today is particularly bad because I also had a Migraine. UGH!

Anyone else having nausea and stamina issues this far out?

So sorry for you!

Adding more liquids will probably help the nausea. My doc wrote an Rx for anti-nausea med's to use as needed. You could ask your Dr. for that.

During my pregnancies I would place one mint leaf underneath my tongue and keep it there for a few minutes. The sickness would immediately abate and become so much more manageable. Mint is widely used as a natural anti-nausea treatment.

I'm having stamina issues so bad. I get really shaky in the shower (not dizzy or nauseous) but it takes everything out of me. Even getting dressed but yet walking no problem. Not sure what's going on....wish I had more energy!

Also, I've been having a lot of lower back pain and I don't know why. I'm passing gas, voiding ok, having bms. But it hurts, probably even more so than my incision. Anyone have any ideas?

I don't know what the back pain would be. Other than referred pain from your tummy or gas that you don't even know you have.

I stil have pain in the larger incision. They said that would hyrt the longest because it's where they pull the stomach through. (TMI truly) But I'm glad they told me.

Now I need to get walking more.

I am in the same boat as you. Feeling nauseous everyday for no reason know. I am 2 weeks out. Very tired, still a lot of pain on left side. Just want to feel better! Lord help us!

I am also still trying to get use to sipping and not drinking with food. That is a hard one. Normally I would get thirsty and just jug a whole glass down, not anymore, so I never feel my thirst is quenched. Always parched.

Are there any medication options for the nausea?

I had stamina issues until I was able to get some Protein down. How are you doing getting your Protein in?

I've asked my doc for more zofran. As for the Protein, I'm getting an average of about 80g. They want 90g but I still can handle only so much.

I just called Walgreens and they have zofran ready! Now my fingers crossed it helps since I just vomited again! Ugh!

Your Protein sounds great. I'm not getting that much in.

Good luck with the Zofran

Make sure that your not masking a UTI...bladder infection....it could be your kidneys....a call your medical team might be in order, just to rule it out.

Good luck,

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
