Nausea after surg?



Recommended Posts

Do most folks experience nausea after surgery? If so, what helped you. I'm having my sleeve in the morning. Quite nervous over here!

This was the 1st surgery I've had where I felt no nausea afterwards. The next day, following my leak test, I felt nauseous. When the first they give you to drink is chalky barium, it makes u feel nauseous...

Good luck. Ask the nurse for some Zofran or soemthing if you're feeling sick...

I was extremely nauseous after surgery mosty because of the pail medication. The nurses gave me anti nausea meds intravenously

I had my surgery 9 days ago. I was fine until the nurse brought in a popsicle while I was in recovery and it was instant nausea the moment I put it in my mouth. It was all I could do to hold it back. They then gave me some Crystal light in a 1oz medicine cup and that was absolutely horrible too... those were the only times I felt sick. I stuck to the ice chips only and was fine. My doctor also gave me some cream to rub on my wrists Prometh Gel 25MG that I used a few times once I was home. The nurse also gave me meds in my IV that helped. I would stay away from the popsicles and crystal light if you think it might be an issue for you. An know that you can ask the nurse for nausea medicine in your IV.

Before surgery ask for a patch for nausea. The patch works for several days. My Dr gave me a prescription .... the pills desolve on the tongue... sorry act remember the name.

I was SO nauseous after surgery and for the first few days. It turned out my biggest problem was the narcotics because as soon as I was off them (day 2) things started getting much better. I'm 8 days out now and I still don't feel awesome, but there's no more dry heaving every 30 seconds.

They will give you anti nausea meds through your IV while your in the hosptial. After, you should have something for home like Reglan or Zofran.

I'm beginning to realize that my doc had all this covered as they called in prescriptions a week before my surgery to the pharmacy so I would have everything I needed at home when I got home from the hospital.

      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.
