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

Is that a pill?

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.

Does anyone know what can help with nausea?

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 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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
