I am 3 weeks out minus a day and the last 4 days have been horrible for me. I feel sick when i eat and i feel sick when i don't eat.

I know doesn't make sense but has anyone gone through this??? I almost feel like I want to go back to just liquids.

Any suggestions will help.

I had a lot of nausea right around 2-3 weeks post-op despite feeling great the first 2 weeks, and I've seen other people on the forum with the same issue. I went to the emerg, they said nothing was wrong with me - mind you, they did 0 tests besides a basic abdo exam for peritonitis. The emerg Dr. suggested I double my Nexium. I called Dr. Aceves 2 days later, as it happened on the weekend, and he said the same thing. I used it 2x a day for a few days but it didn't seem to make a difference, and since the pills were pricy, I stepped down back to 1 pill/day. Then the nausea just went away as randomly as it had started. Moral of the story - probably nothing bad if it's just nausea, but if you feel any pain and feel extreme discomfort/pain when someone presses on your belly, then go to the ER.

My surgery was 12/7/10 and I was nausious from day 1! It turned out that my gallblader was full of stones and my pancreis was inflamed! A week after gallblader surgery the naussia is finally gone.

But another thing is if you are dehydrated it will cause severe naussia.

You have to focus on your fluids and drink even if you are nausious!

I also had bad nausea about 3-4 weeks out from surgery. I would get nauseous drinking water! It went away after about 2 weeks. Now I only get nauseous when I eat too fast, which I am trying not to do!

      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.
