Nausea...does it ever go away?

[Taranurse 1 4]

I am day 12 post-op RNY surgery. It seems most people are feeling better at this point. I was not able to tolerate Protein Shakes, I ended up with vomiting and diarrhea after trying several. I tolerated fine pre-op. I am using LiquaCel which is straight Protein without any Vitamins. This is now making me nauseous. I don’t see my surgeon until next Thursday. I am exhausted. I hate feeling so awful all the time. I think I made a mistake by having surgery. Any advise welcome.

You might try contacting the doctor's office to see if they would phone in a prescription for an anti-nausea patch until your stomach settles down. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you so much!

Try fairlife milk. I couldnt stomach one Protein after surgery, whereas I could before surgery. Fairlife has 13 grams of protein per cup and comes in chocolate too. It doesn't have protein added.

Good luck!

I could not tolerate whey. Try soy shake instead. If you continue to be nauseous, could be gallbladder.

I had issues too so my Dr prescribed Zofran which really helped. I also learned which foods triggered the nausea more than others and simply stayed away from them.

And search among the plant based and soy based, you may be. intolerant of whey, be lactase deficent, your Bariatric Team and Surgeon can help, don't throw the towel in just yet for I know an answer can be found!

And I am still the Zofran Kid at over 8 months out, cry on my virtual shoulder if you need to. I talk a lot here but I listen even better!

Plus your emotions play havoc with you after surgery. I promise it gets better.
