Feeling blue

[sarahkaj 9]

Im one month post op. Im going through a really dull phase. Im so depressed. Not enjoying anything in life. Everytime i hear of food i get nausea. Its been a couple of days where im not having enough fluids nor food nd im soooooo tired !! I work as a nurse. So yesterday i had this night shift where i could barely every work. My friends hung an iv for me. Im so dizzy, tired, just wanna sleeep, nd do nothing else ! This nausea is killing me. I didnt have it before. Its just making things worse..

I just wish i didnt get myself into this surgery. Its ruining my whole life.

I cant even stop crying :"(

@@sarahkaj Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. Will your surgeon give you a b-12 shot to help with energy? Do you have an order for nausea medicine and an Anti-acid? It sounds like you could benefit from all that. Do you have a day that you can just sleep. If your surgeon will allow you to have an over the counters sleep aid like zzzquil maybe you could get a good sleep so your body can catch up? I hope you start feeling better

That sounds terrible! Sorry to hear. Have you called your doctor/surgeon? After surgery I was given anti-nausea meds. I never experienced nausea, but I imagine that was at least in part due to taking these drugs. I hope you can find a solution.

You need to call your doctor. If you are so nauseous that you can't get any fluids in something needs to be done. Don't suffer in silence.

Call your surgeon. Not getting enough Water may be the root cause of any issues.

They will give you anti nausea meds by script. I pretty much was you. It took all of 3 months to get it together! It WILL fall in place! Don't mess around with depression talk to medical staff about you're mood change, please. I wish you the best

i am having the same exact problem and I am a month out too!! I wasnt nauseous before this and I am really getting depressed.

One month out is still very hard and I can't imagine being at that point with your strenuous job! Bless your heart! Please ask your doctor to order some labs. I was not getting enough nutrition in and became very anemic. Plus dehydration makes you weak. And also, there are hormonal changes that can cause you to feel really messed up. I cried a lot! And my nausea got bad about then as I was going back on solid food. Just please know this is temporary. Take your supplements, do your best on Protein and hydration, get as much rest as you can, and you will be feeling much better soon. Promise.

Thank u dear. U know when i was on liquids i never felt any nausea at all.. now a month post op starting on mashed food is HELL on earth.. the nausea is just unbearable.

Honestly I had to skip the puréed food stage, I could NOT tolerate it. I stayed on Protein shakes and ate scrambled eggs until I could go on solid food. I hope you can get something for the nausea from your doc. I had Zophran, I only had to take it once or twice. And I learned not to take my Vitamins first thing in the morning. The Vitamins made me nauseous and I was trying to drink my Protein shake on top of that. Ewwwww. It was bad. I am now 12 weeks post op and doing much better. Still get dizzy occasionally. But it get s better! And you will look back in a little while and think "well that wasn't so bad". And think....look at me now! Godspeed to you! Hope you are doing better very soon!

Maybe walk it back to liquids until you talk to your doctor. Are you on full liquids?

[kimpossible67 608]

I spent my entire 2 nd month nauseated. EVERYTHING felt like I'd swallowed wet cement. It was the pits. I swear the day I got a script for nausea, it stopped. The first 3 months for me were not enjoyable BUT...it WILL get better, trust us on that, okay?

I've been feeling down in the dumps too and a little skim milk warmed with a little cocoa powder made me feel normal tonight and a little better. Hope things get better for you!
