When did nausea go away



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 days post op. I'm home but I am having some bouts of nausea. The nausea is worse then the pain for me. When did your nausea go away?

Give it time. My Doctor gave me several medications to take. It does get better. I would try different foods. I know that I am doing better with foods I wouldn't have thought I would. There are some that I thought would go easy and they do not. If you are not able to get food or Water in make sure you talk to your doctor.

I am 5 days post op and figures it's the weekend and nausea is hitting me bad. I've been sipping on low sodium chicken noodle Soup (I strain it just drink the broth) my tummy enjoys it way better than Water

Hi!

I am 7 weeks post op and due to extreme nausea for the past 6 weeks, I've been hospitalized twice, given out patient fluids twice, been on IV nutrition for 3 weeks, and had 3 endoscopes since my surgery.

It has not been pleasant, but it does gradually get better - especially if you don't have ulcers or strictures to deal with. And even if you do, there are procedures and medicines to help.

One piece of advice!!!!! Do NOT let yourself get dehydrated due to your nausea or any other reason! If you don't get in your fluids for more than a day- immediately call your doctor. I was so dehydrated a few weeks ago that I was hospitalized for 8 days straight. It was the absolute worst experience to date. Definity worse than the surgery.

When you become dehydrated your veins may become very difficult to stick and you could end up with a PICC line for easier access to IV fluids/other meds and nutrition. Trust me - it's no fun!!!!

Good luck with your nausea and recovery process!

So update. My nausea has improved very well. It is very slight if even there at all. I'm getting my fluids in and keeping to program. Thanks for the encouragement.

Did it improve with medication? Or just on it's own?

I think it went away on its own. The meds weren't doing much to it, I also changed up my Protein to see if that was causing it as well. So far so good, another day of no nausea.

      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!!
