If you weren't given anything for nausea, call your doctor immediately. He can call a script in for you. Even if you have to call their after hours number- do it. Vomiting so soon after surgery is very dangerous and you need to avoid it at all cost.

Best wishes to you and feel better.

Nausea is also a symptom of dehydration; I ended up in the hospital because I did not recognize this.

Though I was nauseous, I had to force myself to continue to SIP Water frequently. Frequent sipping of Water and IV infusion did make the nausea resolve.

And your doctor should have given you medication for nausea in addition to the pain meds, which also could be a cause of your nausea. I had a motion sickness patch which was prescribed for me that I had to apply 12 hours prior to my surgery. It worked well, and immediately post op I did not experience any nausea.

Best wishes...I hope you feel better fast!

I remember from our most recent cruise that I had to change the patch every 72 hours. Post op, I was instructed to remove it after the 72 hours had passed. My prescription for my band surgery was only for 1 patch.

I had the patch also and I had to remove it on Thursday, ( I had my surgery on Wednesday) it was making me sick. Once I took it off my stomach felt better within an hour, but you should have medicine for nausea as well. You should call your doctor because you don't want to vomit.

Also I think you are missing some medicine not sure if every Dr. is the same but I got 3 prescriptions. One for pain, one for nausea, and an antibiotic, call your doctor and double check.

I was also given a prescription for Prilosec which helps to protect the stomach. At this early stage the stomach must be treated like an small egg.

I was given chewable gravol, but never had to use it. If you can't get to your doctor, that may help in the meantime.

Have you been taking pain meds? The surgery and as Sojourner mentioned dehydration or even pain meds could cause that.

      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.
