Morning nausea

[meganliz0824 65]

I am 2 months post op and really struggling in the mornings. I wake up and get dressed and around then take my acid reducer and multi Vitamin. I struggle to eat Breakfast because I'm always nauseous in the mornings. I try to drink some of a shake on my way to work and that can be hit or miss. If I eat anything I usually get sick. I just have no appetite in the morning and am nauseous. It goes away in a few hours. Any suggestions? I really need to eat Breakfast to prevent too much snacking or feeling weak because I haven't had anything. I have a high energy job so it is important I stay on my toes. Any thoughts?

What acid reducer are you on? If it's a PPI, maybe try taking it at night before bed instead of first thing in the morning?

I take zantac twice a day. Once in evening and once in morning

Was that advised by your doctor? Zantac is meant to be taken as a relief from heart burn and acid reflux, not to prevent it in the first place. What you want to be taking to PREVENT acid is a PPI like Prilosec.

It's prescription rantidine which is zantac and it's what they gave me to take after surgery. Supposed to take it twice daily. It says it prevents and relieves so I'm not sure.

I struggled with morning nausea for 6 months. First I would recommend getting an anti-nausea med like Zofran. Secondly, I would request a different acid me such as a PPI to be taken at night. Zantac may not be strong enough.

Ok. I will call and talk to my doctors office. I was doing ok in the beginning but it's been getting worse and worse.

Mine did too. Turned out I had a structure so watch it closely a d stay hydrated. If you start vomiting a lot or aren't able to hold down, call them.

I am 3 months post op today, I still have plenty of mornings with morning nausea. Zofran is my best friend. It was really bad for the first 8 weeks. It's eased up some since around the 8 week mark. Definitely try to get some Zofran!
