Did anyone else experience nausea at 3 weeks out? I was feeling good until about 5 days ago and then I started feeling nauseous throughout the day. It is sometimes along with heartburn. I am taking zofran regularly. Plus my doc upped my PPI and I'm on carafate. I am able to get my liquids and Protein Drinks in so the doc isn't super concerned. But I don't really want to eat and just feel overall crappy. Doc said that sometimes they have patients that just feel nauseous for a couple months and then it goes away. They aren't for sure why. Anyone else experience this?

I've had this problem roughly my entire time. Some days are really good but others I just feel sickly. In fact, I'm still throwing most of my food back up.

The PPIs help tons but still each day goes as it goes. Hope you feel better soon...I know how annoying the nausea can be.

I am 4 weeks post op today, and I am struggling with nausea daily. It wasn't to bad until last week and I noticed that I am now waking up in the mornings with it. I am still adjusting to mushy foods too. Vomiting happens almost daily, however had a no vomit vomit day yesterday so I consider yesterday a Win. I am trying to slowly introduce new foods...but hate vomiting, so taking it slow. Worried about getting enough calories in....keep reminding myself that it is one day at a time. My doc says the nausea will get better in the weeks to come, and from what I have read,others say the same, so I am counting on that being the case for those of us who are suffering. Hang in there. Do any tenured sleepovers have any suggestions? Thanks for posting this concern.

      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.
