I'm 3.5 weeks post op. Had surgery on 3/6. For the past, probably week and a half I've been nauseas every morning. I haven't been even "eating" anything until around noon and even then I'm kind of pushing it. Sometimes I feel better after eating sometimes not. I was supposed to get my TOM yesterday, but it didn't start yet and I have been known to get very nauseas the day I start, but this has been going on for a while now. And before anyone asks, there is no possible way I'm pregnant, lol.

Has anyone else had this issue? If it goes on much longer I'll probably move up my recheck appointment.

I'm a week post-op today, and this is my third morning with nausea...make sure you're taking your acid reducers, could also hv something to do with timing of your Vitamins (I think that's my issue, so I'm going to switch it up today), try and sleep propped up a little and of course you know to stay up on your Water and proteins...goodluck!

Definitely not constipated. I guess it could be from lack of calories.

I was already taking omeprazole pre op so I'm still taking that. I am taking Vitamins in the morning, but I was already nauseas prior to taking them.

I had my surgery on 3/14, I have experienced the same. By midday I'm ok but mornings are awful and trying to take the Vitamins make it even worse. I called my doctor and they called me in zofran which has been a lifesaver. I had a friend who had the surgery and never had any problems but apparently my system must be a bit more sensitive. I got the medicine same day I called them and I hated that I waited several days before calling.

I'm not a fan of taking medicine if I don't need to so I hesitated even getting anything from the doctor but the zofran kept me from being miserable. There are other medicines for nausea but most of them can make you super sleepy and because I have to work the others weren't a option. I just take the medicine when I feel it which is in the morning and then I'm fine.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. When I mentioned it at a support group meeting, the coordinator asked if I still had my gall bladder, which I do. But I have no other signs of gall bladder issues so I doubt that's it. I hate going to the doctor and my next recheck isn't until the 21st. I guess I'll give it another week, if I'm still nauseas ill call

Are you drinking coffee? The PH is low & adds to acid issue.


No, not drinking coffee, never been a coffee drinker

This can happen if you are not drinking enough Water. When you get up and then drink something all the toxins that weren't cleared the day before flood your system and you just feel gross and nauseated. Consider carefully stepping up your water intake. And if you don't have reflux consider not taking the acid reducers, they hamper digestion.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
