5 Days - still nauseous. Advice?



Recommended Posts

Got banded on saturday, July 3rd. Water is generally OK, as is Gatorade in small amounts or popsicles. But every time I try some Protein, like in a really thin Protein Drink, or some powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder very diluted in water...about an hour or so later I have awful nausea. One bandster friend thinks I may be dehydrated because I am not drinking enough water (which is true)... but generally just not interested in putting anything in me. I have kept from vomiting, but have to get past this nausea and have to figure out how to get some protein in me. Popsicles are about the only thing I am enjoying. I am having the sugar ones, as sugar has not ever made me jittery.

Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

I'm sorry you are feeling so crummy.

Try drinking/sipping some liquid Jello.

Don't drink it hot, but in it's liquid form. It helps get rid of the nausea.

Keep trying with the Protein. You will be able to drink it soon.

I should also add that I had a large hiatal hernia that was repaired.

Thanks hummingbird. Trying Jello today and so far it seems to be helping.

Any other thoughts out there?

I was just banded last week. For the first few days, I was getting nauseated when I was hungry. Are you only having Clear Liquids? When I was, I started having an ounce of warm chicken broth every 20 mins or so. It felt so much better than Water. I did that for a couple of days before I tried a Protein drink.

Thanks. My mother in law is bringing me some broth this afternoon. Hopefully I will have good luck with it. It does feel like some of this is from being hungry. Although I do not want to eat anything and I have lost 22 pounds since I started my preop diet.

It definitely feels super weird at first. I couldn't tell if I was hungry or sick. It's kind of like having a new stomach and we're still learning how to understand it. It will feel better in time. Just make sure you're putting some kind of food in there. I hope the broth helps :)

My surgeon told me to call his office if I got nauseous at all.

Make the call to your surgeon's office. It's free.

Other than that, you talk of Jello and Popsicles, have you tried diluting the Protein powder in warm broth as kcarny said? The cold may be bringing on the nausea.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
