Recommended Posts

I was banded on Thursday. I have been able to handle the pain. So here is the problem: everytime I lay down to rest and then get up I get SUPER nauseated. I haven't thrown-up. Why is this only happening when I wake up or get-up ? It is scaring me!!!

I called my doc and he called in a stronger anti-nausea med.

Has this happenend to anyone else?

Thanks so much,

Melinda

P.S. I have had nothing today except Water, apple juice, and a popsicle.

do you lie flat? i had to elevate my head when lying down for the first couple of months after surgery. the position gave my stomach a chance to calm down and keep from being irritated by extreme positional changes. also try drinking something warm when you first get up

Thsisme,

Thanks so much for responding....I am worried.

I have been laying flat ( I will use pillows from now on) but it just happened again while getting up from for a sitting position.

It is awful.

It's trial and error you will learn, it's a journey, the beginning is the worst it gets better

This happened to me and medication didn't help. I then discovered i was Hungry! I just drank more oftena an this helped me. (Thin smoothie did the trick!)

I had to wear a patch behind my ear after my surgery to control nausea. Did you happen to get that? I was talking to one girl in the waiting room and she was like you AND she had the patch, they told her to remove the patch and it solved it for her, her patch was actually making her sick.

Do you happen to be on other meds (like blood pressure) you could be reacting to those on an empty stomach. (something your probably not used to this soon)

I would have the same problem in the beginning upon waking and my doctor said that there is mucus in the stomach and you can feel it moving around sometimes. I have adopted the habit of always drinking something hot in the mornings, whether it is coffee or tea and it helps tremendously. I can't eat for the day unless I have that morning hot drink.

Hope it gets better for you!!

I would think it's because you are not eating as much so instead of getting light headed you get a little naush!?!? Hope the medicine helps some.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
