Ok, so I'm quite sure this has been covered over and over, but honestly, I don't feel like going throug a bunch of old threads. Here's the deal. I had surgery on Monday. Came home yesterday about 2pm. I'm just continously nauseus. I'm taking the nasuea pill every 4 hours and have some kind of patch behind my ear. They just dont seem to help. I keep having episodes where I feel like I'm going to throw up, but its just spit and phlem (Sorry TMI). BUT when I do that it makes me burp and feel a little better. I'm walking a lot but that really doesn't seem to help either. I feel like I"m SO thirsty and its all that I can do to not take a huge drink of Water. PLEASE tell me this is normal and it will end soon!!

This is normal and it will end soon! Keep drinking and walking. Once you get all the pain meds and the anesthetic out of your body you'll feel much better. Be patient, I knows it's rough. Take some time to rest. The first few days I slept a lot, it was the only time I didn't feel sick. Congratulations and good luck on this journey to the new happy and healthy you. :)

I'm pre op, so I'm going by what I've read on this forum for the past 7 months..

Are you taking an acid reducer (PPI)? And also, I've read that warm peppermint tea can help break up the mucus, and peppermint naturally soothes nausea.

Are you sipping Water? I used a shot glass and sipped water from it. I tried to drink a shot glass of water every 15 min (I used a timer). They only way I was able to stay hydrated. Dehydration will make you feel very nauseous.

Did you get shots of blood thinner in the hospital? I would let your doctor know what's going on. Perhaps they can put you on a different pill.

I drank ginger tea for nausea and that helped alot for me because I dont like peppermint tea. Also, keep taking small sips of Water as much as you can. Its true that after this surgery, dehydration makes you nauseated. Good luck and hang it there....things will get much better day by day.

I couldn't keep anything down for the first two days post op and I was on all kinds of anti nausea meds including the patch behind the ear. The third day the nausea started going away and I could very slowly start to sip. I hope this is the same for you and it's starting to go away!

      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.
