After surgery am I doomed to a life of throwing up???

Okay--here I am, the "fly in the ointment." I am 7 weeks post-op. I get nauseated quite a bit, really every day. My doctor says it isn't unusual, some people do. My advice? There are a TON of different meds for that. Had me on a patch when I woke up, then gave me pills. which didn't help a lot, so then he changed it, and I'm all good! He said it would eventually go away. But as long as I have meds to counteract it, I'm fine!

My love I am about 4 weeks post op and as of yet I haven’t thrown up. Only time I felt nauseous was eating my Multivitamin chewable. I eat small bites and take my time.

You learn what works for you super fast. I've thrown up ... 6 times? I think over the course of 15 months. Somehow beef meatballs is what gets me.

Twice it has happened because I accidentally took a big gulp of Water right after eating without thinking about it, because I can drink pretty much as 'before' if on an empty stomach.

'The other end' as OP said - yeah, that has happened more and will happen with malabsorptive procedures. It hasn't been a problem, though.

I never did get nauseous. No food makes me feel bad. I wish it did.
