Hey sleevers,

I had my surgery on 08-11-2015. The first week and a half I had no problems with nausea just gas and pain/soreness. Going into 2-3 weeks and I'm constantly nauseated. food is evil to me now. Any kind of food is hard to eat. Everything tastes overly sweet especially that fake sugar garbage they tell you to consume. All the Protein shakes I was made to purchase are disgusting. It's one thing if I could just chug it down but now sine my stomach is so small I have to sip on it for over an hour? Nope.

So I know I'm not getting enough protein. Tried to eat more protein in diet although I'm vegetarian so it takes a bit more and being able to handle different types of foods which I can't right now in this stage of recovery. I was on zofran but caused very bad migraines. Then was put on Phenergan but pills was too chalky and made it worse to take, made me more nauseated. Tried to take some pepto bit started dry heaving and eventually threw that up. Finally got a rx patch for nausea and bought sea bands for acupressure.

They have helped but it is still hard to eat anything. The nausea kicks in high gear once I start to smell the food I'm about to eat. I've been living off triscuits, mashed potatoes, and cheese. I can't even handle broth or Soups for the most part.

I want to do better with my food but I'm in limbo. I drink plenty of ice Water so I'm not dehydrated. It's worse in the morning for some reason. I don't know if it'd because it has been a long time since my last meal?

I stopped my nexium after the surgery. I haven't had heartburn. It's all nausea but I started taking it again to see if it's some sort of reflux issue...but no such luck yet. I don't have any other symptoms so I know it's nothing serious from the procedure.

Has anyone else had this problem? How long did it last? How did you over come it? I'm at a loss. I was fine the first week then after that it's been a struggle. It's so weird.

HELP!!!

Sincerely,

Would rather be in pain then constant nausea.

You can order it from Amazon but I've heard it's much cheaper at Costco. It's great stuff! Good luck!

You are lucky in one sense...you have landed in that cohort whose taste buds appear to have completely changed. I have had no change whatsoever in my inclinations towards food. I just have to eat some dense Protein to kill the hunger.

I agree with the poster above...ISOPURE is amazing, and is no-fat and 1g-carb for...40g PROTEIN per 20 oz bottle. I used them until just about a week ago when I was still struggling to get my protein requirement. They are available as single bottles or as 12-packs at the Vitamin Shoppe.

Are you still taking any pain meds? Anything I took gave me horrible nausea, so I stopped taking them altogether while I was still in the hospital. Also, drinking Water more quickly than you are prepared to can generate this sick feeling as well. Best of luck!

I WAS NAUSEOUS MORNING TIME ETC FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT WILL GET BETTER I PROMISE. I THOUGHT IT NEVER WOULD....BUT IT DOES.
