Is Nausea and Sick Feeling Normal



Recommended Posts

I am now 4 weeks and three days out still nauseous and sick feeling and very faint. Dr says I am not dehydrated but only getting in about 25 oz of liquid a couple of bites of yogurt or cottage cheese and one Protein Shake. I have no desire to eat or drink. Is there anyone else like this? Is this normal? I'm getting scared.

When was the last time you spoke with your surgeon? Severe nausea and lightheadness at one month post surgery would concern me if I was you. Every bari program is different, but it seems that you would/should be consuming more than 25 gm of water/day by now and more than one 20-30gm? of Protein (shake) a day.

Please call your surgeon again if you are not getting the help you need. That's what they're getting paid for. Ask that you be given something for nausea and find out why you are lightheaded all the time. If you are driving, you could even be in danger of passing out, so please be safe.

Hope you feel better soon.

I had nausea up until.about 6 weeks. My dr gave me anti nausea med zofran to take home and was a life saver. It wasnt until a couple days ago that I could get my Protein in and im 7 weeks out.

I am 9 days post op and three days ago started feeling nauseated and even vomiting some. Dr gave me anti meds but really no relief. Hope it gets better for you and me. Good luck.

I felt like s$#% for about 5-6 weeks post op. Nausea especially. The anti-nausea prescription I was given was worthless and most OTC meds I tried also didn't help much. Hang in there. It gets 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.
