Nauseas. Grumbly. Normal? Advice?



Recommended Posts

6 days out. Felt lots better most of day 5. End of day five and into today, I am very nauseated. Having trouble getting hydrated because of the pain while drinking. The grumble belly is happening a bit lower than usual, so I'm going to the bathroom ie; don't trust a fart.

I'm worried because I can't seem to make it to away. I feel heavily medicated, in that I'm weak and dizzy (maybe because of the liquid pecocet, but I haven't taken a dose since 930 last night) and I can't move too fast or I feel like I'm gonna vomit and pass out. Any advice? I really appreciate you all.

The weakness and dizziness is a possible sign of dehydration. Sip really slowly and repeat, don't gulp don't use a straw. Go one ounce at a time, but stick with it because you still are going to have to stay hydrated. Check with your Dr. I had two scripts for nausea coming out of the hospital, but never used them. They may give you something. But #1 is to get the fluids in.

Are you sure you need the pain meds? I'd try to wean from it and then maybe things will calm down a bit. Percocet can cause a lot of different effects..

Yeah I'm definately weaning. Just going to do Tylenol if I have pain. I know that the roxicet can cause some nausea.

And I'm sipping like its my job. Hell bent on getting that 64 in. I think it'll help. Thanks guys.

      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.
