Nausea When I Lay Down At Night

[GermanShepherdMama 145]

I'm about 2.5 weeks post op gastric bypass.

Pretty much every night, after I've been laying down for like 5 minutes, I have to get up and take a Zofran due to the nauseous feeling coming over me. The Zofran helps tremendously but I don't want to have to take it forever if I can avoid it.

I had a Protein Shake several hours before bedtime, those are the easiest on my stomach.

Has anyone else had this problem? Did it go away eventually?

I haven't had that issue, but it sounds very uncomfortable. Your liquid only stays in your tummy for about 20 minutes at most, so it shouldn't be your Protein shake. I would suggest you call your doc.

My body seems to digest food differently by its orientation. Therefore I never eat before bedtime. Otherwise it sticks there and I can't sleep.

Sometimes I exceed the volume limit for my stomach and this can lead to dumping syndrome. The only way to resolve this is to sit up for a couple more hours and watch TV until my stomach settles down again.
