Nausea Dizzy A.M. Why?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost six weeks post op and waking up very nauseated and it doesn't subside for about two hours after I wake up. Is this normal? How do I manage it? Will it eventually go away after a few weeks?

I was having a terrible time for a while. I would get up and get nauseated after drinking orange juice and taking my iorn pill. I was so light headed.

Turns out DUH the OJ is too high in acid and once I took my iorn pill with water--I was ok.

I was also lightheaded until I started taking that EXTRA iorn pill. I did this only after my primary care doc ran some blood work and found even with the bariatric iorn supplement I was taking--my iorn was still low.

I don't know if this helps. It sounds like your nausea may be from something else.

Take Care,

Kathleen

I found I was waking up nauseated and dizzy if I didn't make sure to have a Protein snack later in the evening.

Yes, I had this. And still do on occasion. To be honest, I never figured out why. I just thought it was part of the process. I take a Prilosec every morning and the nausea would subside shortly after.

I had this for the first 4 months. I was also told i had a slight stricture too. I would just sip on a shake until it subsided. Then i would have a bite to eat. But i certainly wasnt in any hurry to get past the mushy stage. I still naturally gravitate to either Protein bars or greek yogurt.

Gotta take it day by day. Yesterday i couldnt tolerate liquids..today i cant tolerate my usual Decaf. It changes daily for me.

I should also say this... My nurse was worried about my sleeve twisting on itself at my 3 month check up. But ive since doubled my dose of prilosec per her orders and i can eat just fine now.

Also..some people have to take their prilosec at bedtime to combat the morning yucks.

Just an idea.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
