Anyone feel a hungry/nauseated sensation after surgery?



Recommended Posts

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!

      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.
