Constant Nausea



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I've had constant nausea since they day of surgery. I can't drink anything without feeling nauseous. I don't actually throw up, thankfully. However with the lack of appetite from the surgery and the constant nausea...I'm having a hard time getting in food and drink. How long does this last? I went and bought a bag of Sonic ice because it's like hospital ice. Eating ice doesn't make me as sick as drinking...and at least I'm getting fluids in. I can't drink any Protein shakes....so I'm lucky to get 30-40 grams of Protein per day. :(

Are you still on pain meds? They will make you nauseous.

I have anti-nausea meds. When they were giving them to me in my IV at the hospital, they were working. They don't do anything now. And I haven't taken any pain meds in over a week and a half. :( I have no idea what's causing it but it's so very frustrating.

The crushed ice is a good idea so that you can get some fluids in, but you should call your surgeon's office and let them know that you are suffering from nausea. Although everything might be okay, it is best to have them check you out - or at least give you guidelines as to when to go see them. Your number one priority right now is to keep from getting dehydrated. Sometimes that in itself can cause nausea.

I had a lot of problems drinking Water after surgery and drank Powerade zero for awhile. I tolerated it better and it has electrolytes in it. I think G2 is another like Powerade zero.

Anyway, get a call in to your surgeon's office. I hope everything resolves itself soon.

I do Vitamin Water Zero... the Acai Blueberry tastes really good to me.

So now it's even worse...I can't eat or drink anything without feeling extremely nauseous and earlier today I threw up foam multiple times and it scared me. :(

I just had surgery on 7 September. I was nauseous the first couple of days. My dietician told me that could happen. She told me to focus on getting fluids in for the first week and not to worry about Protein until next week. I didn't have nausea today and I can handle Protein. Be careful because anxiety can cause nausea as well. I don't know about u but I overthink everything and worry too much. Just a thought

Hi

I am 4 weeks out and nauseous too. It comes and goes. I take the meds for it sometimes.

I had the foam twice. Once it felt like something was stuck. The dr said either I ate too fast or I drank too much before I ate. It's not a problem. Just gross.

Hang in there. I used to love Water now I have to drink it mixed with something to get it down.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
