I am 1 year post op. I still have nausea. I take Marinol, the active ingredient in marijuana. this works great. One pill befor eating prevents most nausea. However, I cannot drive. I have tried phenergan and of ran, both work but not as well. My nausea seems to be improving. I hope to get off of Marinol soon.

I never thought someone would not want to eat after surgery. How are you feeling now?

I am with you on the not wanting to eat. I am 5 weeks out & for the most part I have to force myself to eat my meals. I used to be a snacker & I have had none of that. I do have challenges with getting all my Water in too...stomach hurts if I drink too much so I just can't get it all in. I added a Protein drinking the morning to get 8 oz. in.

I'm 8 weeks postop and going through the exact same thing! Force yourself to eat ! Even if a bit still force it- I do it every single day! As for the drinking again I'm the same way. I'm in fact in contact with my dr every day to give them an update of how many oz I've drank. I've been facing dehydration - because I'm not drinking nearly enough & the drs are concerned! I totally feel your pain! {hugs}

It is so nice to know that I am not alone. I am 3 weeks post-op and thought I had horrible screwed up something. I go for my 4 week Ppt tomorrow and hope I can get something for nausea. I can't eat or drink anything.

Thank you so much. I go see my surgeon in just a few minutes. I will eat more of my Popsicles I have at home.

I'm joining in... I'm not hungry or thirsty. I'm forcing my self to eat. I'm drinking 30cc of Water my pouch hurts right after. I took 2 chewables Vitamins & my pouch started hurting. When I ate the Popsicle my pouch was good. Please don't tell me I'm gonna live on Popsicle?

4 weeks post op and I can only get 1 can (35 oz) Protein and 25 oz of Water down a day. Just trying new methods of water. Decaf ice tea with Stevia, sf Popsicles, crystal light. Nothing is appealing but we gotta keep trying.

I don't want to eat anything either ...just the thought ! I tried Protein Shake yesterday and it was like a lead ball in my pouch. Today I tried some Protein Soup which was a little better but still heavy. I am getting very little protein but able to take all my Vitamins and Water. I love the Popsicles the best.

[law8486 40]

what pouch? my stomach is gone.

I agree Law! It's like there is nothing there any longer...very strange.
