I am about 5 weeks out. I get my fill on Wednesday. I have only had nausea if I chew up my pills or Vitamins in an empty stomach or

Eat a big bite and get stuck.

Donna, is there anything you can take for the nausea feeling. i know there has to be something you can buy for it. Maybe call up your surgeon's office and ask. You shouldn't be feeling like this for weeks now.

Feel better and keep us posted

thanks guys. Its just that every morning when I get up I just can't hardly stomach Breakfast because I'm so nauseated. And today well it lasted all day. Luckily I had some Zofran left over from surgery so I took one to even get dinner down and it was cottage cheese and I didn't feel like a meal. I see my surgeon next week so I will mention this to him. Puzzling.

Donna, are you taking your Vitamins in the morning before breakfast? I cannot tolerate any type of pill vitamins without intense nausea all day. I switched to liquid and have no problems.

hey Jen, I take gummie vitamins but after a meal either breakfast or lunch. This morning before church all I could tolerate was a Protein shake, just couldn't think about an egg, nope, wasn't gona do it. My doc said he would rather see me eating than drinking my calories/protein but I can't help it in the mornings, seems to be the only thing that I can handle is the Protein shakes and then not very much as I will gag. I only have 4cc's in.

Hi there, I'm wondering if you may have acid and that's why you constantly feel nauseous. I know I have that problem and when it's at it's worst if I eat I feel even more nauseous. I do take somac for it and it helps clear it up. Does your tongue have a white coating on it, that's flap an indication if exescive acid in your tummy. I hope you get whatever it is sorted out soon so you feel bette

OMGosh, yes I have a coated tongue, yes yes yes. But I take Omeprazole every morning for heartburn. where can i buy the somac you take?

Donna, I was wondering the same about the reflux. Try the somac or some other antacid blocker to see if that helps. This may just be your cure.

Let us know,

I don't mean to sound dumb but I've never heard of somac, is it prescription? Like I said I take Omeprazole every morning to prevent heartburn so was just wondering...hm? Thanks everyone.

Donna, I have no clue I was stating what the person above said, maybe its something given to them by the hospital or doctors. I don't know, but if you have acid reflux any antacid blocker should work just fine. I have tried prevacid by my doctor and it didn't work. Zantac works better for me, I buy the generic Walgreens brand Wal-zan and I have the same symptoms as you. It won't hurt giving it a try..

Let us know,

My apologies Donna, I'm in Australia so we probably have different names here. What you are taking might not be working for you and you may need something more effective. To get somac I need a doctors prescription here so it might even be worth making an appointment with your doctor.

I finally googled it and called the doctor for a prescrip. Thx, maybe this will help. I go tomorrow for a 2nd fill and I will talk to him about my nausea all of the time. Today however has been a good day
