It will pass, give it time you just had a major surgery and your body has to adjust, to your new stomach!! My Dr. prescribed me nausea meds that worked great!! After my two day hospital stay I was fine… the first two weeks are the worst, Give it time it will get better!!! My Dr. also prescribe an acid reducer it takes some time to get into your system .

Before surgery, they gave me a little patch to wear behind my ear for nausea. It was supposed to last for 3 days but I took it off on the second day. I don't know the exact name of the medication but it was what they prescribe for motion sickness. It gives you a horrible dry mouth but that just motivates you to drink more.

You might want to check and see if something like that is available to you for nausea. I was told to make sure when I take it off to wash my hands after as the medication will dialate your eyes for 24 hours if you accidently rub your face with it on your fingers.

I actually have those Patches for travel. I wonder if I should try them, or call the dr first

Call the dr. First. It may not be exactly the same or there may be stronger doses available via prescription.

I was SOOO nauseated and vomiting violently for the first three days after surgery, and the nausea meds were making it worse, but then suddenly I just felt better and have never been nauseated since. I hope you're feeling better again soon as well.

      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.
