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

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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
