Chelenka 827 Posted February 28, 2015 I have read that acupuncture can be very affective against nausea. Maybe it could help you feel better. Just a thought. It does sound like you are somewhat better despite the nausea. Keep on hangin in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcanMakeit 1,318 Posted February 28, 2015 I don't want to offend anyone but I have read that marijuana helps with nausea. It supposedly works better than drugs derived from it. Does your state allow it for medical reasons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no onions 258 Posted February 28, 2015 @@IcanMakeit That seems like a good point. I've heard that as well, but have never tried it for recreation or medical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nprcowboy 533 Posted February 28, 2015 Unfortunately they voted it down this past November for medicinal use. I had heard that as well. And on Xmas day when I was at my worst a friend of a friend brought some over and for 2 hours it didn't vomit and was myself for that brief period next day was back in hospital for 6 days. So I agree it works just not legal here so not really an option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenbaby75 283 Posted March 2, 2015 I agree, legal or not, get your hands on some. It may be that it helps allow you to get some extra Protein in, and will help you heal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulaleeB 88 Posted March 2, 2015 A dear friend of mine was given medical marajuana to help her keep down food while going through chemo. It made an immense difference in her life. Perhaps a visit to CA is in your future. But in the mean time call your friend and smoke a little for your own good. Perhaps smoking for a short time will get you over the hump and slowly you will be able to introduce food back into your life. Ideal.? No, but perhaps this is a more holistic approach for you. Like all your other bariatric pals, I wish you well. Paula Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) If you can get your hands on it there are many forms of medical MJ. Some you smoke, some is in liquid form and some is in edible form. It's not about suddenly becoming a stoner. Edited March 2, 2015 by BLERDgirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tweety208 12 Posted March 2, 2015 Wow. I feel for you. I have had 3 PICC Lines, became allergic to the adhesives they use so they stitched it to my arm. They ripped. Then had two NG tubes that clogged. I was glad to be free of tubes. This was with the RNY. I hope things get better for you soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nprcowboy 533 Posted March 2, 2015 Thank all. I can't do the marijuana help as I can't risk my job and random drug tests so not really an option for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelenka 827 Posted March 2, 2015 Acupuncture is legal. Even if it doesn't help you, it's not a risk. Just sayin ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nprcowboy 533 Posted March 11, 2015 Quick update. Still holding my own. Nausea has been bad but am able to eat and drink. Maybe botox is working or stomach finally coming online. Just need to manage this nausea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
