My nausea since surgery has been horrible. I have had it since day one, surgery on 7-16. I am not sure if I have had one day without it and it is pretty severe.

Is there any thing that works for you if you have or are experiencing nausea?

I think nausea is a pretty common side-effect from pain killers?

I am a month out so I am really not on pain killers.

Did the doctor not prescribed you anything for nausea? Like Zofran or Phenergan.

I actually have both and it barely touches it. It is making me so that I really can't eat or drink. It is just awful. Then with all of that I get the dizziness and lightheadedness. =(

Have you alerted the doctor? If it is so bad you can hardly eat or drink, you don't want to become dehydrated.

Yes. I told him last Thursday and then again this past Thursday. I am not getting very much Protein and he just wants to make sure I get some fluids in. He wanted me to have sf Gatorade. I have been tolerating that and maybe a couple of ounces of food a day. He knows... I make sure to pinch my skin to see if I am dehydrated and so far I'm not.

He doesn't really care that I am not eating, he says that will come. My big thing is I am not really bringing any calories in.

Having somewhat same issue with getting food down. Did great with shakes first few days but past few days they make me gag! Now today even a few bites of something makes me throw up some kind of goopy stuff?? I can drink water without issue. I am only 2 weeks postop , lost 9lbs within first 3 days after surgery but now a week later and the scale hasn't moved- I think it's because I am taking in so few calories so my body is holding on to everything! ANY suggestions would be welcomed! I don't feel I have a stricture???

Mint herbal caffeine free tea worked wonders with my nausea while inpatient. I would sip it when warm then be nausea free for hours. Just thought I would share what worked for me .... I hope you can get ahead of the nausea and begin to heal!

I tried peppermint yesterday and then chamomile and it seemed like it made things just as bad. I am not sure my stomach is ever going to get used to this change. Just like everyday, I woke up with it..... =(

What dosage of zofran are you on? I ended up on zofran and reglan for nausea as well as protonix. I had surgery 7/8 and am still on them and still on liquids. And had 3 hospital stays. You may want to ask for an increasebin zofran. I take one nausea med every 3 hours as well as protonix twice a day. It's the only way I can manage liquids. Ive had one hospital admission due to dehydration. Are you still peeing? When you stop that's when you need to go in for treatment. Then it's a matter of ivs and labs to correct things. And iv nausea meds are wonderful. Hope you start feeling better and get to the hospital to get hydrated.

I am still peeing, but very little. My Zofran calls for every 8 hours. I for sure do not want to be in the hospital a third time. I was on protonix and two other meds of those type before surgery and they had me stop those at 1 month out. Still on liquids. He said I could try some pureed but really, nothing feels right and everything makes me feel ill. Not fun at all. I know you have had it rough too. =(

I had my gastric bypass on April 9th 2014. And I am still suffering with severe nausea I have been of Zorfan, and now I on Phenergan. Has anyone else experienced this long term nausea.

Mine is not as long term as yours as I am only at 5 weeks, but I am also experiencing it. I have had it from the very beginning and it has not let up. I have been on Phenergan, Zofran, and now Reglan.

But you are losing it faster so thats a good thing. I hope it doesn't last as long as mine with no end in sight. I am only eating 900cal. a day including Protein if I try to eat anything other than fruit it really flares up. and if I eat or drink more than 4ozs I will almost vomit.

I am not eating and barely drinking. Maybe ten oz of sf gatorade a day and a cheesestick. That is it. I really don't think the nausea is going away. The drs are not trying to find out where it is coming from, only trying to mask it. Last night I tried to eat a little bit and it got stuck for 6 hours. This is not fun at all.
