Best Solution for Nausea?



Recommended Posts

I am 2 days post op and I havent been able to shift the nausea feeling all day (in fact I think it is getting worse). A couple of times I actually thought I was going to be sick but it ended up being wind.

In my pre-op world I would normally nibble on dry biscuits to ease this. Has anyone got some good options of how they have been able to ease the nausea blues.

First, call your doctor and see if he suggests some meds for nausea. It also could be that you are dehydrated and not receiving enough Protein. That leads to nausea, weakness, etc. Since you are so close to your surgery date, it could be the effects of the anesthesia on your body. A lot of us went through nausea initially, or within the first 24 hours or so. You could be a little more prone to it.

Yep, I had to get a prescription from the doc for meds. Was well worth it though. The nausea was worse than the surgery! Good luck to you.

Before I came home from the hospital, I developed severe nausea--until I remembered that I should have diluted the juice I was given in the hospital. Once I did, the nausea subsided.

Then when I came home from the hospital, I took the prescribed amount of liquid pain medication and immediately thought I was going to heave--I mean IMMEDIATELY! So I cut the dosage in half and only took the medicine twice a day for about three days.

It's really tough because that's the LAST thing you want to do now--take care...

I had the same thing in hospital but I received a shot. When I got home I had some compazine suppositories ready, of which I used only 1 so far.

Call your surgeon and have them call in a prescription ASAP. Always good to have an emergency supply - just in case!

Thanks for all of your responses. getting in contact with the surgeon is a little hard for me as we live 1.5 hours drive from her rooms. I could have gone to our local GP and got a script but it was the weekend.

I am happy to say that the nauseau has all gone. After reading some of your posts - it got me thinking. Apart from my normal liquids that I was having, I was also taking a disolvable multivitam (called Supradym) which is fruit flavoured and slightly fizzy. My dietician recommended this. It was strong (given the quanitity of Water i was disolving it in). When someone mentioned about their juice being too strong and making them feel sick I wondered if it was the Multivitamin doing the damage? I cut them out the following day and Viola' - I was feeling great. I now plan to added some crushed Vitamins to my liquids.< /p>

I am now day 5, and although a little tight where my port if placed (laughing and coughing doesnt help) I am feeling absolutley terrific.

Thanks again for you help.

Hey Chrissy--many of us have been advised to take Flintstones chewables daily (I actually do "Bugs Bunny" since it was on sale and the same %'s).

I also chew two Tums-EX with Bugs to get in my Calcium requirements...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
