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.

      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.
