Bad Nausea! I need Help



Recommended Posts

Am technically 7 days post op for my surgery but had to go back in due to issues recovering. So I was discharged from the hospital today. liquids gag or don't sit well. The smells of everything turn me off. I am so weak I'm scared at this point that I will never get liquids down. I take of ran and not 2 seconds later I vomit. Any help with this or hope would be great.

What are you sipping? Plain Water can be very difficult to drink and actually induce vomiting in some people. Certain flavers can also gag you. I had to completely change which shakes I drank. And even which flavor poweradezero I drank.

I also have to take zofran for a few weeks after.

If you have started taking Vitamins or are still taking pain medication they could be making you sick. Stop the drugs. As the previous poster said the Water can make you nauseous so you might need a little flavoring like crystal light, SF Kool Aid, or some of the others. The first week is pretty difficult and you just might need a couple of more days. Did your doctor give you some anti=nausea medication to bring home? If so take that and if not... call your doctor and get some. Good luck.

I had some nausea but not severe. Warm herbal tea worked for me. Chamomile and cinnamon read felt nice. Also sad to say but I rarely have plain Water - I have crystal light - so be life water 0 - Vitamin water 0… Please ask your doc for nausea meds if needed. If you cannot drink you will get dehydrated end up back in the hospital so please let the Dr know.

Are you taking Calcium? I had horrible nausea until I stopped talking the calcium supplements. I am pretty sure I need some sort of calcium other than my multi Vitamin but it was so bad I was curled up in bed all day. Within 1 day of stopping the calcium I felt 90% better.

I could not take my Vitamins during the first 2-3 weeks. I would regurgitate Water, liquids, soft foods etc. till I was 4 weeks out .. If you get too weak ..I'd call my dr to make sure you are all right. Better be safe than sorry.

I have nausea meds that that I tried taking last night and it dissolved under my tongue and 2 seconds later I vomited. Water seems to be going ok today. I'm just taking it slow. I just want to know the drinking gets easier??? Also did smells bother anyone???

yes smells bother me and it seems I can smell better than before the surgery. Strange I know but I have read others having this. Yesterday was my first day to drink ice water and it not give me bad reflux. It is a slow process but it will get better.

I didn't tolerate the acidic drinks like Crystal Light and Vitamin Water well. Chamomile and Peppermint tea went down very well and were soothing.

I thought I was crazy that I couldn't handle the smell of my dh's food this weekend. It made me crazy like when I was PG! Thanks for making me see I am normal. I am glad to see I can tell my husband I am normal.

      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.
