nauseous that won't stop



Recommended Posts

On Saturday night I attempted to eat a steak, and well it got stuck. All I am doing is taking sips of Water, juice, ext, but the nausea has not stopped at all! I'm starting all over again, just like I got my surgery all over again(clear liquids to soft foods, then work my way up),per surgeon orders. Any suggestions on how to stop this feeling?

They make OTC anti-nausea medication that you could try. It's really bad and you fear you're going to vomit, I'd call your doctor and ask him to call in a script for you.

I keep Zofran (prescription anti-nausea med) on me at all times because I'm so afraid of vomiting with the band.

You may still have some stuck. You should probably go and see your Dr.

This may sound a little strange, but they make these anti-nausea bracelets that work really well. The hospital put one on me post-op and I swear it worked. They are called Sea-Bands and I know CVS has them. Also, peppermint oil works great. Good luck!

I forgot all about the band, until I got to work,so that's what I did today. It does help! Kinda made me dizzy since I have no food on the stomach, but I was able to work.

      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.
