HELP!

Almost 7 weeks post op. Been having serious nausea/vomit issues since last Thursday. Now first let me say this is something thats happened in the past. About a month ago ( I even posted about it but got no responses) I had the same issue for a few days but it passed. This time its worse. It's the I can't decide if I'm hungry or want to throw up kind of feeling. I thought at first maybe it was because I'd skipped a snack.. but since then its gotten worse and even after I eat something I still feel the nausea. Anyone else have this issue?

Called the doctor and now just waiting for a call back from the nurse.

I don't know... do you take an acid inhibitor? do you feel you are consistently eating small quantities, chewing well and not "wolfing food"?

The biggest adjustment for me would be to eat slow. I overall did really well with that, but would sometimes forget and go back to my old ways of shoveling food - which caused me to hurl a couple of times.

Another idea is there is an herbal supplement found at Vitamin stores called DGL Licorice - I get it in German chocolate flavor. It is a tablet that i crunch a few times, and then put between lip and gum and let it melt. It coats the throat, esphugus etc and just "calms" things.

I am 3 years out, but sometimes I feel a little weird and the DGL helps with that. I know longer take a PPI but I sure did the early months.

I think the best advice would come from your doctor, since no two people are the same. I didn't experience anything like you are describing, but it does seem like cause for concern. Hopefully your doctor will get back to you quickly. Hang in there!

Do you take your Vitamins on an empty stomach? That makes me nauseous. Idk. I do t get that randomly out of the blue. Jsut one time when I took my Vitamin without anything in my stomach.
