5 months out, nauseous for over a week



Recommended Posts

So, I figured by now I would have this whole eating thing under control but for the last week or so I seem to be nauseous 24 /7. Nothing I do seems to help... eating, not eating, Water, protein... On top of it all, I seem to be losing very slowly. . Any suggestions? I'm considering starting from scratch again and starting with a liquid diet because I can't seem to get all my Protein in and my hair is starting to fall out. I'm in desperate need of help because this is affecting my life negatively instead of being a positive change.

unfortunately hair loss..arrgghh..normal...lost a lot of mine, and I did EVERYTHING by the book and human guidance, still lost a lot of it. nausea. another unfortunate. I still feel it a lot of the time. I just had lunch, 4oz salmon & 10 steamed snowpeas..feeling sluggish. But I'd say if it persists like always call the Doc.

Someone with more experience than me might correct me but I think going back to the pouch test might be a good option for you.

Biotin has got a great reputation for helping those who fear losing their hair...I started mine prior to my surgery and take it last thing at night.

Good luck

1. Are you taking prilosec still or similar? Nausea can be too much acid in the stomach

2. You could ask your dr for an anti-nausea med, they will help.

3. Yes to liquids. When things get funky, go back to basics for a couple days. But any longer than that and you should be on the phone with your surgeon.

I was never put on prilosec, and I'm getting worried to the point were I will probably call on Monday to make an appointment. Thank you everyone for your help and advice!

      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.
