Nausea after eating

[bigboris 1]

It is my 6th week from surgery and all of the sudden after eating I get this nausea, feeling like vomiting but nothing. The Protein Shake I can barely smell it without having nausea and I stop drink it. Now every meal I eat (up to 4-5 oz) after 1-2 hr the nausea comes. I'm trying to change food but so far still the same, anybody else?

I have awful nausea after eating. there's some days where I throw up whatever I eat, even if I was able to eat it the day before and keep it down. My surgeon said its just your new stomach fighting back from surgery and to take a nausea pill. I had to switch Protein shakes because the one I was on kept making me gag from the smell, so I switched from premier to nectar and so far so good.

4-5 oz. at 6 weeks post-op seems like a lot. What kind of things are you eating? It's possible that you are eating too much and that's what's causing the nausea. Also, it's incredibly important to get your Protein in, so if your current shakes are making you sick, maybe try some other options? There are a million out there!

I think you are eating too much. Try cutting your portion sizes in half and see if it keeps happening.

I know realize that is 4-5 oz per day! Im actually eating like 1-2 oz per meal. I was confused on the measurements. Anyway I still try to manage the gags, even if I drink Water it gives me the nausea thing.

Have you experimented with different temperatures of Water? I have to have my water ICE cold (like ice literally floating in it) to be able to drink it. I know some other people who do much better with luke warm water or only hot beverages. Have you tired adding different flavoring to your water?

So, you are eating 1-2 oz and then an hour or two later you feel nauseous? That doesn't sound like the food is making you nauseus.

Are you staying hydrated? If you are only eating 1-2 oz, then in an hour or two you should be eating again. Early out I needed to be eating (Protein shakes, etc.) or drinking fluids just about all the time to get in all of my Protein.< /p>

Have you talked to your surgeon and/or NUT about your concerns? Are you taking a PPI? Are you taking anti nausea meds?

I am taking anti nausea med, but dr recommend to drink plenty of Water and electrolytes. Some how is going down but still have that feeling even when I have not ate anything.
