I'm 5 days post op and am experiencing a bout of nausea. The doctor did not prescribe anything for it since I wasn't having a problem with it but what do you all take? I would call my doctor but it's 847pm and it's definitely not an emergency. Prior to surgery if I felted nauseated I would drink ginger ale, but that's not an option now. TIA. Faye

sugar free Popsicles really help with nausea. I still use them occasionally for my upset stomach.

I had nausea after surgery too and I had my dr call in suppositories. Yes I know???? but not having to swallow a pill was so worth it and it took care of the nausea quick. I Also use s/f popcicles for the upset stomach my theory is the cold takes it away.. All my drinks have to be super cold..

Thanks for the support everyone. Called my nurse practitioner and she had something called into my local chemist (pharmacy). I used it last night. God-send.

I too am 6 weeks out and nauseated most of the time. I saw my nutritionist today. She fears I'm not eating enough. I'm also having "gut" issues with a decent amount of diarrhea. She thinks that from a lack of Fiber.

She suggest I move my Multivitamin and take it 45 minutes after eating. I had been taking them in the morning which might start my day off feeling so bad. She also wants me eating 2 oz of protein and 2 oz of fruit/veggie with every meal. Even if it takes me more than 25 minutes, she would like me to try to get it in.

I have also been using saltines which seem to help some. I usually eat one about 30 minutes after my meal or when the nausea is unbearable. She told me this was fine and to continue doing this if it helps.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
