Uggh. Nausea back tonight.



Recommended Posts

Nausea has returned. Uggh. Took my anti nausea pill but sheesh. Its been over a week since I last felt this way. Maybe I need to go slower with my diet progression.

I feel your pain :( I struggled with nausea off and on for the first 4-6 weeks after my revision. It did get better though. I just had to ride it out. I don't know what you have for nausea meds, but I had zofran which was like a sugar pill. It never helped my nausea. Phenergan was much better for me, but after my prescription ran out, I switched to Dramamine over the counter and it worked just as well. Still use it from time to time if I get queasy for no reason! Hope you feel better soon!!

Aww thanks. I do have all three and find phenergan works the best too. Didn't work last night. Still feel yucky this morning. I even got up at 4am and took a reglan which didn't do anything. The baby tummy is colicky I guess.

Aaw sorry about the nausea, that sucks.

Be careful if you're taking Vitamins and try not take them to close together. I have found that causes my little tummy to be sore and temperamental.

Take care

Reglan is made of sugar. I'm convinced!! ;) lol Hope you feel better soon. I know the nausea is awful and so frustrating, but give it time. I promise it does eventually go away!!!

My body is just out of wack. I can take 1 oz of cream of wheat and 2 oz of Water this morning ok. It sounds like a party in my belly. Everything is waking up.

Uggh. Nausea is back again. My intake is so poor. Focusing on liquids first. I'm still pretty swollen at least my upper abdomen looks like it.

How long did the nausea stage last?? What did you find that helped it not be so bad? Just getting mentally prepared ... How are you feeling now a few more weeks out?

Honestly I still have it to some degree though I've only vomitted 3 times. I'm 4 weeks plus post op. Have reglan, phenergan, and prilosec. Really depends on what I eat. Still on pureed stage another 2 weeks. More acidic foods or spicy foods kill me as does coffee and shakes.< /p>

Yeah, hate to tell you, but I'm almost 3 months out and I still get it sometimes. Never thrown up, but get insane nausea still sometimes. Mostly when I try and drink a Protein Shake or eat a Protein Bar. Ugh. That's probably my biggest issue, getting in enough Protein, because I haven't really been able to supplement at all post-op! But as long as I avoid those, and eat slowly, with small well chewed bites, I'm good! :)

I feel your pain. I was just released from the hospital after two long weeks. I was nauseas from day one after my surgery. I'm almost seven weeks post op. But the nausea kicked my butt. So badly I had severe dehydration. Now I'm home with pic line and a TPN fluids for two weeks. I had never imagined this to have happen to me. While I was in the hospital I had two endonoscopy's and both times they stretched my new tummy because there was some narrowing. On top of IV nutrients I'm getting. I have the nausea patch I take zofran every 6 hours and phenagran as needed. Its been a nightmare for me. I fall under that one percent of patients that have chronic nausea :( Please be careful and try your best to keep that nausea under control so that you can keep your fluids in and not get yourself dehydrated and end up in the ER. Hang in there and keep us posted.

Me too. Doc says first focus on Fluid intake. That's a problem too. Just so full with just a mouthful.

Hi I'm glad your home! So they decided to not go ahead with the bypass? The doctors were talking about that if I'm not mistaken?

No I didn't go through with it. I asked for a second opinion and the new surgeon wants to try different methods to see if the nausea will subside. She gave me new hope . Because honestly I'm terrified of the gastric bypass. I actually know of one other person here on this sight who had the same thing as me and she too was going to have the gastric bypass but her nausea went away after her TPN at home treatments. So I'm hopeful that I will to recover from this. I have to stay positive and determine. And give it my ALL because Lord knows I don't want another surgery again. :(

      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.
