Still Very Nauseated

[WingsOfAButterfly 18]

Is it normal to still be nauseated 3 weeks post op? I had nausea bad at the beginning, then it seemed to subside. When I tried to transform to puréed foods, it started back up again, so I went back on liquids but I'm still very nauseated. It's hard getting my Protein down. I can barely get anything down. I think I actually had my first dumping syndrome because I drank my Protein Drink right befit eating. I vommited and was nauseated the entire night and it hasnt stopped. I see my doctor on Wednesday and I'll ask, but wanted to know if anyone else deals with this? I'm on zofran for the nausea and it makes me so sleepy. I've been sleeping way too much.

Don't wait to Wednesday, call their office first thing in the morning. If nausea meds aren't working there might be something else at play.

Thanks for replying. The nausea meds do work, they just make me very sleepy and I'm sleeping way too much. The minute they wear off though, I'm nauseated again.

They had to change my to phenergan before my nausea went away. However, this was only while in the hospital and I haven't had any issues since. I wish you luck on getting it under control. It is no fun!

I am three months pst op and nauseated. I had an endoscope and had sores in esophogus. I am now on Prilosec it has helped and cleared up the sores. I have discovered through time that eggs and cheese make me sick so I avoid them and I feel better. Skim milk soothes my stomach, I put in those little strawberry milk shots and they go down just fine. I have always eaten fast and I still struggle with it. If I eat to fast I get real sick.

I am 2 months out and feel nauseous most times after eating, this is helping me to not like food so much, I USE TO LOVE food so I definitely need to take it down a notch. I too eat to fast.

Same thing happened to me, I'm more than 2 months out n was sick all the time. I had issues with Fiber so they put me on Metamucil or fiber gummies n bam no sickness since (2 weeks), consider that!!

Davsan,

eggs make me nauseous too. I guess because they're so heavy. And Ilove eggs! Oh well. I'm just trying to stay away from anything that's too heavy. I'm starting to feel better now, but all I can manage to get down without nausea are my liquids, mashed potatoes and sugar free pudding. Oh and lite yogurt too. I eat my mashed potatoes with fat free butter and sea salt.

I'm sorry you had sores in your esophagus. Ouch! That must have hurt. I'm on Nexium already for a bad stomach and hiatal hernia in my esophagus. I go and see my doctor today so I will see what he suggest.

Griega,

Thanks for the suggestion. That makes sense for sure. I will talk to my doctor about it. Thanks!

I hope it works for you, it took a few days to get into affect for me but I've only been sick once since and it's been over a month since I started the gummies. What a life saver they are (:
