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.

      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.
