Anyone feel a hungry/nauseated sensation after surgery?

[taniamatts 19]

I am one day post op and I'm still feeling a sensation much like nausea but it also feels like hunger. Im so confused by this because I thought I would not be hungry, so I want to just call it nausea but no matter what the bariatric cocktail doesn't help. Has anyone had the same experience and do you have any advice?

@@taniamatts It could be either one! Some people do still feel hunger after the surgery. Are you taking a Acid blocker? @@taniamatts

It could be gas. It takes a while to be able to tell the difference. It could also be acid which is why many of use end up on antacids. Mention it to the doctor they may start you on omeprazole.

I am on Protonix, which is an acid reducer. The nausea is starting to get better this morning. They told me that it would take about 36 hours for it to subside. Im thinking I will probably have it for the next couple of weeks though. Hoping it gets better day by day.

I did not have nausea but i am on omapresol from first day onwards which is an antacid. I got it thru my iv at the hospital but take it orally after i got home. You may want to ask your doctor to prescribe a stronger antacid?

In addition to antacid i also received anti nausea injections and have them at hand now just in case. I think nausea is expected because of anesthesia!
