Nauseous after eating?



Recommended Posts

I'm a week post op, on full liquids. Mostly throughout the day I just have thinned Soup, boost, and Water. Whenever I eat, I get nauseous. I'm not sure if that's due to healing, or due to eating too fast, or just the fact that my stomach isn't used to what it's getting? I have zofran, which helps immensely. I know I'm not eating too much because I only eat 4-6oz at a time. Anyone else have this issue?

Ohhh yes! I sure did. I was nauseous around week 3. I actually couldn't hold anything down. oatmeal, applesauce, smell of broth, it all came back up. My doctor made me go back to liquids, but she also suggested it could be a need for B12 or B1. I started taking my B12 right after that appointment and I started to feel a huge change. I didn't want to start the B1 until labs came back, and I found out today that I need to take some B1, it's very low. My tests also showed my B12 was low (but on the normal side). This may or may not be what's happening with you, but just thought I would throw it out there. Maybe you can run it by it doctor? I need to go buy some B1 tomorrow...

I was also nauseous during the few weeks , early in the game. This will subside. I don't get nauseous anymore.

      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.
