My body is going crazy

So my surgery date was may 26 and I haven't had many issues besides gas once I was cleared to eat normal food again until the last 3 weeks every time I'm hungry I get nauseas it's so odd that everyday at least twice a day I vomit just because I'm hungry and it's causing me to graze which I hate but I can't get hungry when I'm busy at work since I can't stop and vomit every 3 hrs ugh anybody else have this issue

Hey bb3586, I'm so glad you posted this! I felt exactly like that for the longest time. My surgery was in March and it wasn't until June that the nausea went away entirely. Although unpleasant, I think what you're going through is pretty normal. Give it some more time. Don't forget your body is still recovering from a major alteration. Hang in there!!

I watched a doctor's u tube video and he said gurgling can be helped by water, one person also stated some anti diarrhea liquid helped her stomach to settle down, I have not even had mine yet but both of these are quite minor if you want to try. Just trying to help - checkout dr u tube videos. Good luck!

Also, one thing that helped when I was at work was having Snacks that were ok to munch on through out the day. I kept things like yogurt, string cheese and hard boiled eggs close by.

Just don't get too busy at work and forget to eat. That's when you'll run into trouble!

I think this could be related to your stomach acid!
A lot of surgeons say that even though you have a small stomach your body takes time to adjust- so for a while your stomach is producing just as much acid as if you had your old, large stomach!
This could cause you to feel very nauseous/uncomfortable and even make you vomit.

I was prescribed Omeprazole (Prilosec) 40mg daily for the first 3 months to help with this problem.

On the days I don't take it I feel very nauseous and could definitely throw up but I try and hold it back.

You could check with your doctor and get over the counter prilosec if you aren't prescribed/taking it already.
