nausea one week post op??



Recommended Posts

hey, i had surgery a week from yesterday... everything had been going fine until dinnertime last night, i had Soup, itdidnt sit right....didnt throw up, just got really naseaus/uneasy..and had to lay down... since then every time ive tried to have anything other then Water and Protein shakes(jello, broth, runny mashed potatoes), ive been gettin super naseaus...

anyone have any idea what could have set this off all of a sudden?

also as of this moning ive been having pain in my lower right stomach area, about 3 inches below/3 inches to the right of my larger incision... it just feels achy if im walkin around, but hurts pretty bad if i prss it or bend over, and is completely gone if im laying down... it just started today...any idea??

thanks so much

At first reading your post I thought back to my naseaus "attacks" that I would have up to 6 weeks after surgery. But I never had the pain as you are describing above. It would not hurt to call your doc's office and let them know, see what your doc advise.

The naseaus attacks that I got came out of no where, it could be 1/2 prior to eating or 1/2 after eating, it could be an hour and 1/2 after eating.. no pattern or reason. it could happen twice in one day, or I could go 5 days without one and then boom I would be on the bathroom floor so sick.. It could be early morning, afternoon or evening,, there was no patern to the attacks I would have. I would get so extremly naseaus, I could not tell which way it was going to come through me.. and it never did, I never vomit or direaha - just the extreme naseaus that comes with it. Sometimes I would have the cold clamy sweats, I couldnt get air, would be so hot... I felt like I was rocking back and forth, not the room rocking, me rocking.. even though I was laid out on the floor.. sometimes it would leave in 20 minutes, one time it lasted 45 minutes... I went to the doc twice about it, he ran tests, everything with my tummy was fine and everything in my bloodwork was fine.. he told me it is just a temporary thing, my body adjusting, it will pass..and he put me a gas pill and a naseaus pill and it stopped! I only took the med for a couple of weeks, then I tried not taking them to see how I was and it was fine, have never had another attack since..... very thankful for that!

Hopefully what you are experiencing is temporary and will leave you soon.. good luck, call your doc

        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
