mynichols 0 Posted June 12, 2006 I had my surgery on May 22nd and I'm still nauseated. I eat maybe a bite of food when the thought of food doesn't make me shutter. Also, I'm noticing when I stand up for thirty minutes or more I start to feel like I'm going to throw up. How am I suppose to walk the recommended 30 minutes a day when I can't stand long enough to do it? Is this normal?! Somebody PLEEEEEAAAASSSE give me some feedback. I'm almost wishing that I never had the surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trace Curry 1 Posted June 12, 2006 Your doctor should be able to prescribe a patch for you (like the one people wear on cruise ships). I use it for my patients a lot - it lasts for 3 days and is pretty effective. My guess is that the nausea will resolve soon once all the swelling is gone. Good luck!

S@ssen@ch 745 Posted June 12, 2006 Dr. C is right about the patch, but I'm worried for you. If you only take a bite or so of food and then feel so nauseated, how much nutrition are you getting? That could be contributing to your symptoms like a vicious circle. Lack of adequate Fluid and nutrition could actually make you MORE nauseated, dizzy and weak. Call your doctor and let him/her know how you're feeling, what (and how much) foods you're able to eat and how many fluids you are able to get in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
