One month out - always nauseous- need advice



Recommended Posts

Hello. Tomorrow I will be one month post-op. For the last week I have been constantly nauseous. I'm having a hard time getting my fluids in. I've tried Water, hot tea, iced tea, cold drinks, room temperature, everything I can think of. The only thing that goes down well is juice, which I am trying to avoid because of the sugar and calories. Also, the thought of eating is repulsive to me. The only thing that doesn't turn me off is applesauce. I start my soft solid phase on Tuesday and am worried. Is this normal? Will it pass? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am 12 weeks out and am just starting ground beef. I have fought to get Protein in and usually in shakes and Greek yogurt.

I still get nausea and do what I can. I bought over the counter nausea meds for really bad days.

I don't have any great advice but I can let you know that you aren't alone. If you start having breathing problems watch out. My doc irritated the lower lobe of my left lung (near stomach) and it drew up and got Fluid around it which compressed the whole lung. I noticed nausea and no interest in food or drink during that time.

Hang in there. Some of the posts on here a lot farther out do look positive. We will make it.

Have your doctor check your gallbladder. Nausea is one of the symptoms of gallbladder disease and it is quite common after SWL, as are gallstones.

      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.
