Medication and nausea



Recommended Posts

I had surgery December 14 then had emergency surgery to fix a complication on Dec 20th.

Anyway every time I take a shower I feel nauseated. Also after I take my medication I feel nauseated. Is that normal?

Not sure which surgery you had. I had bypass. I struggled with nausea for a LONG time. (Still do on occasion.) You can get a prescription for it (I take Zofran) or it could be from acid reflux so if you aren't taking a PPI, you might ask your dr about that. I also find when I haven't had enough fluids, that I have more nausea. If you are worried at all about it, don't hesitate to call your dr and ask.

I am with @@Daisee68 on this, it is likely dehydration. I would start there and if you are for sure getting all your fluids then follow up with your doctor.

Zofran or Metoclamprimide work great for me.

I hope you feel better soon!

I had bypass and I have zofran and take that after I get out of the shower but I wanted to know if a lot of y'all struggle with nausea. I'm going to talk to my Dr on Wednesday. I know I'm getting all my fluids all I'm not worried about dehydration. Thanks for your help :-)

I get nauseous every time I take my vitamins....esp the chewable MVI. I hope to find something different, I can't face a lifetime of those things! Bariatric Advantage...berry flavor. ...horrible!! Any ideas ?

Vitamin's and some pills make me nauseous. I have to eat before and after I take them. It helps and doesn't have to be alot of food. Bites of toast before and yogurt to chase it down.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
