bubles089 35 Posted September 21, 2012 Does anyone else wake up and feel incredibly nauseous? I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and the past few mornings I've woken up and struggle to get my shake in. It's to the point I have to take a zofran Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skittle 26 Posted September 21, 2012 Unfortunately this does happen to some of us.. Keep your surgeon up to date on the nausea and they can try to help you find a solution. You may also try sipping on something hot like coffee or peppermint tea(peppermint is good for nausea). I know it's hard but try to eat something dry in the mornings.. Crackers or dry crunchy Cereal to help keep stomach acid at bay. Stay away from milk.. If it doesn't affect you.. Stay away from it just in the mornings. My doc has me taking a phenegran just before bed and it seems to help a little. Keep taking the Prilosec or Prevacid routinely as excess acid can cause nausea. Some of us have figured out ways that work for our bodies but everyone is different. I'm still searching for my magical combination to help mine, but these are things my doc suggested to try. It will get better (everyone says it will). My doc also told me when I was having major troubles w getting liquids in, to try things like Gatorade... Yes it has calories but a few extra calories is better than dehydration. If the Protein shakes make it worse try a Protein Bar. Also make sure to chew chew chew! food that is not chewed well enough may try to come back up. Hope this helps! Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
