Nausea after a fill?



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for my first fill in two weeks. Post-op I had severe nausea and vomiting for 3 days and am wondering if I have more of the same in store for me after the fill. Has anyone else experienced this? The phenergan they gave me for post-op nausea was not helpful.

You may request a script for zofran - its much better then phenergan...

Very FEW of us have experienced nausea with a fill. Every now and then someone will say they had it - but not often!

Good luck!

I don't get nausea, but I do get tired followed by chills and fever. It doesn't start until about an hour after the fill and lasts for a few hours. I just plan my fill at the end of the day so I can go home and curl up on the couch for a few hours. Its over very fast and no other repercusions. Not very many have reported this side effect.

I had my first fill yesterday which was just two weeks after surgery. I felt (and still feel) so bad. I hurt like I have the flu and feel nauseaous. I thought it was because it was so soon after surgery but I am glad to see that this is not abnormal. I hope each fill gets better.

I just had my first fill yesterday too. It's been 6 weeks for me. I felt slight nausea this morning but I think it's becasue I was hungry. I have to do 48 hours of liquids after the fill. I've felt nothing else.

Within two hours of my first fill i felt like i had the flu and felt ill for two days - for me I think it was the nerves, process, the whole experience coupled with flying back to San Diego, traveling to Tijuana, and meeting up with my band sisters - just way too much excitement and aprehension. it's never happened since to that level but I do always feel a bit drained - i hate needles, etc. so it's always a bit taxing.

Just the idea of the needle going in alone makes me nauseous, but I do liquids for the next 24 hours and haven't had any actual nausea problems.

      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.
