One month out - always nauseous- need advice

[marbelvsg 132]

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.

Can you tell me how they check it?
