Almost 3 weeks post-op

[sammielouwho 39]

I had my two week check up on Tuesday and of course at that point everything was fine. However, the next morning all the way till today I wake up extremely nauseous. I'm afraid to take my Vitamins because they don't help. Even when I try to eat or drink something not much is helping.

Is this normal? Any advice? I'm trying my best not to vomit, but I almost want to for relief!

are you taking a PPI?

Vitamins have never helped me with nausea so I don't know how to reply to that particular statement. if anything I will feel nauseous if I take them on an empty stomach.

Yes I'm taking a ppi. It's not an acid type of nausea either. No I think I worded that weird. It's that the Vitamins make more nauseous.

You should call your surgeon if you aren't scheduled for another appointment soon.

You might want to ask your surgeon for an anti-nausea prescription if this lasts more than a couple of days. Zofran is one that is prescribed to lots of people post-op.

I have/had that problem as well. My surgeon said that nausea was part of the process and that it would get better. I am almost 3 weeks out and still have some nausea. I take Zofran when it just gets intolerable. Call you surgeon and ask him for some. ????

My surgeon prescribed Pantaloc right from the get go. It's been working great for me.

Thanks guys. I had actually picked up a virus and was dehydrated. I went in and got a prescription and four bags of Fluid. I had lost 30 pounds in just over three weeks. Which is good, but I didn't do it the best way.
