Does anyone know what can help with nausea?

Dramamine

Is that a pill?

Smell some rubbing alcohol. That's what they did for me in the hospital. Or suck on a peppermint disc.

Yes. You can get them in the same isle at the store as the stuff for heartburn. It’s usually in the bottom shelf. They come in chewable or regular.

Thank you guys! I will try both .. I’m one week out and I have so much nausea, I feel like throwing up but I haven’t. It makes me not want to eat anything.. even the smell of food makes me feel sick

My dr gave me a script for zofran before I was even discharged. If the OTC doesn’t do the trick I’d consider calling your surgeon.

Zofran is great because it doesn’t make you drowsy like the others. Also breathe through your mouth until the nausea passes. Slow breathes.

I drink plain peppermint tea, no sugar added. It helps me a lot or you can cut a lemon in half and squeeze some of the juice in your mouth, or lick on it (weird I know LOL) I get that from my mom, I keep it in a small ziplock bag in my purse.

I ended up needing zofran as well. The peppermint tea is the only thing that kept me from not being dehydrated. The sight or smell of anything made me gag!

I’m going to need to try Zofran

and the lemon didn’t irritate your stomach ? How far out were you when you did the lemon ?

I been trying ginger tea, the peppermint one sounds good! That’s how I feel!! Even any smell makes me gag !!!

I had an increased sense of smell as well. Very similar to each of my pregnancies. But I’ve not noticed it quite as bad now. (I’m a little over 3 weeks out)

Has anyone had nausea for an extended period (like months) after surgery, or is it generally a short-term thing right after surgery?

I had nausea.. I am a week out luckily it has recently stopped .. how far out are you? And you’re always nauseated ?

I had gastric bypass on Jan 16 and I am still nauseous. It is getting better but it’s still there! My surgeon said it will all get better just give it time. I am praying everyday for it to all be over!

Ginger tea first thing in the morning
