help for nausea



Recommended Posts

hi all....

those who have been through pregnancy post- op, what did you do to help with nausea?? I mean... I know they always say to nibble on crackers, but is that a good idea post-op? What worked for you?

I would say NOT to crackers, being bread they are high carbs and even though you wil eat only one or two they might not settle well.

Milk of Magnesia helps as does Malox. I was nauseas off and on for weeks, I just had to put up with it.

There are several medicinal options to alleviate the symptoms of motion sickness. Medicines like scopalamine, or Dimenhydrinate (also known as the brand name Dramamine) tend to have a relatively high success rate at curing motion sickness. However, they also tend to make the person who is taking them very drowsy. In fact, Dimenhydrinate is also sold, not only as a motion sickness cure, but also as a sleep aid. The good news is that there are a variety of motion sickness cures that you may be able to use without the drowsiness.

To understand possible motion sickness cures, it is useful to know what causes motion sickness. Motion sickness occurs when there is a conflict between what the eye sees and what the balance system in the inner ear feels. Symptoms of motion sickness might include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, headache, and even cold sweats.

One thing you can do to cure motion sickness without the drowsiness might be to use the motion sickness wrist band products. Some of these products rely on certain pressure points to relieve nausea. Others send an electrical signal into the body that is thought to interfere with the disconnected messages between what the eyes see and what the body feels. While these wrist bands may not work for every person, they may be worth a try.

Another useful motion sickness cure tends to be ginger. Whether you have some ginger tea, ginger caplets, or even ginger soda, this herb may be able to help control the nausea or vomiting you are feeling, and should be able to do so without the drowsiness. Other herbs that may be used to cure motion sickness are peppermint and black horehound. There are also homeopathic remedies you can try, and some people have reported success with acupuncture or acupressure.

Thanks

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
