5 Weeks Post Op and still nauseated



Recommended Posts

It's been 5 weeks and I am still dealing with nausea. I'm not sure why. Not sure if it's because I'm still healing or if it's something I'm doing or not doing rights.. Has this happened to anyone else?

eating too fast or too much can cause this to happen...but it wouldnt hurt to ring your doctor and let them know and have them advise you ...hang in there

I'm nauseated without eating so I don't think that's it.. Like now it's 6am and I haven't eaten anything yet and I already feel a little nauseated. I haven't even had my first fill yet????????

Are you getting enough fluids to keep yourself properly hydrated?

When newly banded, I did not realize that nausea can be a symptom of dehydration.

You should not ignore feeling this way. Start sipping Water to see if that helps, but in the meantime your surgeon should be contacted to be informed of how you are feeling.

When I was about 4 weeks post op and attended my scheduled appointment with my surgeon, and complained about nausea, he sent me directly to the ER to get IV hydration. I'm not saying this is your problem, but my experiences.

I hope you feel better fast...

I agree with CG and Sojo. Give your doctor a call and let them know how your feeling. You could be dehydrated, and/or you could have a bit of a tummy virus. Either way it's a good idea to let the doctor know how your feeling so you can get some relief.

Hope your feeling better soon!

      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.
