I am one week post-op today and everytime I drink my Protein drinks I get so full and then I get nauseous. I cannot even think of food right now. Is this normal. I am doing most of everything I am suppose to. I have been walking the only pain I have is on the side where the port is and the incision looks great.

How many days out are you? I have been having pain in my port area the last 3 days or so. I think it is from sitting too long at my desk job. Just seems that everything gets bunched up in my stomach area. I have to get up and walk alot. Even helps just to stand for awhile.

Sorry, if I would have read closer, it says you are a week out. I was 2 weeks out as of yesterday. Other than that pain, I feel good.

I felt that way for 2-1/2 weeks. Then my hunger returned.

Don't gulp your shakes. Tiny sips. Slow down. Drink then take a short break and then repeat. Try one ounce at a time. Put the shake in one of those little medicine dosage cups. That way you can see how much you're swallowing.

For nausea, try peppermint or ginger tea. Fresh ginger is best. It works like a charm for me.
