When was your surgery?

10 WEEKS OUT, I USUALLY BRUSH MY TEETH AND HAVE SOME Water FIRST. BUT I ALREADY FEEL BAD WHEN I WAKE UP. IT USUALLY TAKES A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE I CAN STAND TO HAVE A Protein DRINK OR EGG. I DONT NECESSARILY HAVE NAUSEA I JUST FEEL QUEASY OR SOMETHING. I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT I JUST FEEL BAD FOR THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE DAY.

Were you an anxious person pre-op. What are you anxious about? Call your doctor. You may need something for your nerves. It's not uncommon for people to have anxiety post-op. I was put on xanax for a short period after I had my hysterectomy. The surgery and removal of internal body parts can sometimes throw your hormones out of whack.

I think you received good suggestions.

I felt weird - icky - not quite human for at least 12 weeks post op. Besides my stomach being a bit queasy, i had this very odd sensation of "observing' myself rather than feeling fully present in my world. I know that sounds kinda nuts, but it did go away. I suspect it is the after effects of anesthesia or the trauma of surgery or maybe just the not being able to overeat to soothe my soul? i don't really know, but it was odd and unsettling.

Herbal tea (which isn't real tea and has no caffiene) also helped as I couldn't tolerate plain Water in those early months.

@BLERDGIRL I didn't have anxiety before. I do have a prescription now which I take right before bed hoping that it will help. But I wake up really early and the nervousness, anxiety, and worry sets in about anything and everything. I absolutely hate it. I can't wait to go to bed at night because I'm really tired but I dread waking up so badly.

I usually wake up between 3 and 4 feeling like total crap. But only for a little while. It's a strange feeling. Like so hungry that I feel like I am STARVING, but nauseous too. I hate it. I just drink some juice and it calms down. So I calm down. Then I watch Netfix until my day starts at 630 and then drag my tired butt to bed at 8pm. Even with Ambian or Lunesta I don't sleep like I did when I was younger. I don't think mine is surgery related though. I hope yours gets better soon!!

@TWIRPO75 GOSH THAT SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE ME, I TAKE MELATONIN BUT IT DOESN'T HELP ME TO sleep LATER. THE BEST TWO NIGHT SLEEP I GOT WERE OVER THE WEEKEND WHEN I TOOK A WHOLE NAUSEA PILL PLUS THE ANXIETY PILL. MY MORNING ACTUAL NAUSEA HAS SUBSIDED BUT I STILL HAVE THAT WEIRD FEELING AND FEEL LIKE CRAP. I'M SURPRISED I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE MYSELF GET READY FOR WORK FEELING LIKE THAT. HOW FAR OUT ARE YOU??????????

For the first four weeks after surgery I felt sick every morning. I can only describe it as "morning sickness." That's what I called it. Now that I am eating more Protein instead of drinking it, I am feeling much better. Like BLERDgirl said, "no reason to feel bad every day." Call your weight loss clinic and explain what is going on.

That's where I am now. I feel like crap most mornings til just after noon. I still have to take anti nausea meds before I eat anything.

If you take your anxiety meds at night on an empty stomach you may end up nauseous or queasy in the morning.
