How far along are you? I had constant nausea for first four days but fifth day it eased. I'm hoping it will go away in a few more days.

Not long, 4 days post op, and first time in really feeling sick. I have meds but I pass out all day and would rather not.

I'm 19 days out and still nauseous.

Yea, I'm four days postop and nausea still hits me. They gave me zofran to use first since it's milder and phenergan if the zofran doesn't help. I've only used the phenergan once. I hope you feel better soon.

I dealt with strong nausea for several weeks after the surgery. I'm sorry!

A couple of things to try, as with everything ask your doc if this is ok for you.

Ginger gum. Didn't help me much but it really does help some people.

Dramamine - crush the pills and use the 4 hour ones. They are bitter, very bitter but they don't knock me out as much as Phenergan. (Zofran and reglan sadly do nothing for me. )

It could be pain related. Watch if the nausea spikes when the pain increases. If so, you might need pain meds.

Take the Phenergan or Zofran at night to help you sleep better. Getting good sleep can help the next day be better.

food or Water temp can affect nausea too. It is weird but before surgery I only did cold water but something about the cold now causes nausea.

Try switching up flavors and smells. It was weird but for a few weeks my favorite mio fit flavor made me gag. So I had to stop using it.

There is also a pressure point in the hand that helps pregnant women and morning sickness. I don't have the link but I'll try to find it for you. On that note strategies for morning sickness are usually a safe bet.

Something else, mints help me with the nausea too. 3 wintergreen altoids have two grams of sugar.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!
