Nauseated! Help!

[karanicole26 39]

I had surgery march 14 and I've been doing great and eating as I've been told. Starting about a week ago, though, I'm nauseated all the time. I even wake up in the middle of the night nauseated. Anyone have any ideas why i might get nauseated so much or even think this is from Lapband?

Are you still taking pain killers? On liquids? Could you be pregnant?

No painkillers or liquids, and no chance I could be pregnant. I'm thinking it has something to do with what I'm eating.

Def discuss with the doc. But I remember when I started solids (eating better...lots of veggies) I too had a little of this happening for a few weeks. Maybe my body just adjusting to new foods, etc. Or maybe just a little stomach virus.

Either way...call the doc.

Definitely going to call the doc on Monday. Thanks for the advice everyone.

I was nauseous and on Zofran for a month following my surgery. My surgeon said I had a lot of inflammation and was a slow healer. It didn't matter what I ate,everything made me nauseous. It eventually went away, but I was really regretting my decision to have the surgery. It's been three years now and I have had periods of being unable to eat, it lasts about a week, and then I go back to normal. Endoscopy shows stomach inflammation. It has only happened twice. My Dr says it is just my body's reaction to a foreign object. You should talk to your surgeon though, because everyone is different.

I did the same thing called doctor and got a script for promethazine and always have it on hand just in case but it was gone in a couple of months.

Just curious what are you eating? Are you still doing Protein Shake? Might need one lactose free?

Definitely check in with your surgeon about the nausea.

Are you drinking enough fluids? Nausea is a symptom of dehydration. I did not realize this, and ended up in the ER as a result.

I recall as a newer Bandster that I was extremely challenged to get the recommended amounts of Water every day...and it never occurred to me that the nausea was because of my dehydration.

Hope you feel better...and sipping Water may help you feel better.
