I lived on saltine crackers. Ate a few after each meal. My nausea hung out for about 8 weeks.

Almost 4 weeks post op and the Protein shakes make me extremely nauseated although I still try to get them down, or part of them. When I take my nausea meds the nausea lessens and I am able to get other Protein down. Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are my this week's friends. Right now having "buyer's remorse" and wish I never had the bypass as I have no energy like I did before the bypass. Is it too soon to expect to feel better, I am down 42lbs but feel horrible. Need suggestions.

I also live with constant nausea. I take prescription meds and it helps a little. Drinking anything is the major problem, as I'm immediately nauseated. Eating takes about 20 minutes before I feel icky. I see the dr tomorrow, and I'm hoping to find an answer to the problem. I'm 7 weeks out today from my RNY.

I know this post is a few months old but wanted to add lemon helps with nausea. I drink ice tea with lemon when I go out to dinner because I do not eat much when I do and it helps with that kind of food where I am not sure 100% how it is prepared.

Good luck!

I was nauseated a lot and it ended up being the medicine to prevent kidney stones. I stopped it for a week and felt much better. Now I'm on a lower dosage of it.

I am 5 days out and have had constant nausea. Cannot drink anything but a sip of Water to get down my meds. I have buyers remorse, big time.

I hear you and understand. I had the remorse really bad about day 4-5. After you get past the liquid stage and can start eating soft meats and Wendy's chili, things will get a little better. I am 6 weeks post op and I still have days that I "just don't feel good". I keep pushing myself though. Walking/Weight training every day. I seem to feel better after I exercise. I promise it will get better, but you are just at the very beginning. I have lost 31 lbs and I was not on a pre-surgery diet. My weight loss is all from surgery. Pay attention to your stomach vs. lactose. I had to start drinking soy milk because I became lactose intolerant. Here is a shake for you to try to help make you feel better:

1 c. soy (unsweetened vanilla)

1 tbs. Peanut Butter

1/2 frozen banana

6 ice cubes

30g powdered Protein

Mix all ingredients in a blender. I have a Nutribullet and love it. Good luck to you!!

I am 4.5 mo out and recently nausea is kicking my butt even with nausea meds. Even Water makes me sick. Today made an appt to see my dr to see what is up. Hopefully she can shed some light.

Keeping fingers crossed.

I have to say that nausea is one of my biggest fears.

Does everyone experience nausea after the surgery?

Me too! I have to force myself to eat a lot of the time. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. It is such a struggle but I have heard from people that this stage will pass. :) let's hope so!

      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.
