Had my lab band surgery on May 29, 2015. I have been nauseated every day since surgery. The nausea medication they gave me does not seem to help. I have to force myself to drink my shakes. I am just worried my body is not getting the nutrition it needs. Maybe that is why I am so sick to my stomach.

Any suggestions on what could help this?

When you first get out of surgery Protein shakes destroy your gut. That is most likely why your nauseated. Stick to Clear liquids for a while that help settle your tummy and work up to some other foods. I went to my surgeons office one week post op basically crying on his shoulder because i was sick all the time. He gave me a huge hug and was like honey you don't need to be drinking all those shakes so soon. Let your gut rest and you'll feel better.

Good luck to you,

Thank you Brittany. They tell me I need 60 grams of Protein a day so that's why I force myself to drink that shakes.

For the first and second day after surgery I was on a clear liquid diet. Starting on day three it was full liquids. However, I was sick for about the first 4 days and even vomited the sips of water i was drinking. I think it may have been a mixtyre of the anesthesia, pain medicine, and the air they used during surgery. Good luck with everything.
