2 weeks post op as of today and I am really struggling with nausea. My anti nausea medication is helping but I am still really uncomfortable and it is keeping me from hitting my goals. I can't seem to put my finger on what is causing the problem.

Does anyone have some tips on how to minimize the nausea?

Does it seem worse at certain times during the day? I was super nauseous the first 2-3 weeks in the mornings until I figured out I needed to get up a drink something in the middle of the night. If you're dehydrated, you can also feel nauseous which just makes things work since you don't want to drink anything!

Have you tried warm liquids? That can help relax the stomach a little and help you feel better.

Interesting suggestions. I think I need to pay closer attention to temperature and hydration. I have tried chicken broth a few times but I don't recall if it settled my stomach.

I usually drink cold liquids.< /p>

Looks like it was the Calcium causing the nausea. I stopped 2 days ago and have had no issues.

Now I am just worried about consuming enough Calcium.< /p>

I didn't even think about supplements! I had to switch my multi because it was making me so sick. I'm glad you were able to figure it out and that you're feeling better!

      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.
