How Nauseas Were You The First 2 Weeks?



Recommended Posts

My dr says it will be horrible nausea for 2 weeks. He is giving me the patch to put behind my ear. Surgery is Tuesday. What can I expect, nausea-wise?

I was extremely nauseous but didn't vomit- just felt terrible for two weeks- on my third week now and still get that feeling when I eat too fast.

I only had it for about 24-36 hours. I heard this is one of the biggest complaints after surgery. I didn't have it long, nor did I have the painful gas. Everyone's body reacts differently. Good luck to you!!

I don't know why your doctor would say that. I never had any nausea at all. Your doctor can give you something for it anyway even if you don't have it that prevents it. Some may have it as a reaction to anesthetic. i think it's strage that he said you would have it, and wonder what he is basing it on.

My doc gave me the "patch" to put behind my ear for surgery and wrote me a Rx for 2 for when I got out of the hospital. He also wrote a Rx for Zofran (anti-nausea med). I was only nauseous like 6 days post op.

I had nausea for about 36 hours... But i always do after surgery the sleep meds make me sick. After that only a couple of times was i feeling sick. Just remember to take it slow and easy when drinking don't get in a hurry. I am 6 weeks out and sometimes I start to drink and have a big swallow in my mouth and remember .... i cant do this all at once...lol .. just got to slow down and focus.

My best friend has been an amazing nurse for me the past 11 days. She said she was recording my med, liquid, and Protein intake and she realized my lortab was making me nauseas. I quit taking it and she was right.

I was nauseas right after surgery and the shots and pills they gave me did nothing. I was nauseas constantly for a few weeks and generally felt crappy for 2 months, then it went away.

It was tough but a SMALL SMALL price to pay for the results.

This surgery saved AND transformed my life.

Zero nausea for me. I was prescribed the patch to put behind my ear, but I had to take it off the day after surgery because it was causing a rash.

      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.
