Constant Nausea



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I've had constant nausea since they day of surgery. I can't drink anything without feeling nauseous. I don't actually throw up, thankfully. However with the lack of appetite from the surgery and the constant nausea...I'm having a hard time getting in food and drink. How long does this last? I went and bought a bag of Sonic ice because it's like hospital ice. Eating ice doesn't make me as sick as drinking...and at least I'm getting fluids in. I can't drink any Protein shakes....so I'm lucky to get 30-40 grams of Protein per day. :(

Are you still on pain meds? They will make you nauseous.

I have anti-nausea meds. When they were giving them to me in my IV at the hospital, they were working. They don't do anything now. And I haven't taken any pain meds in over a week and a half. :( I have no idea what's causing it but it's so very frustrating.

The crushed ice is a good idea so that you can get some fluids in, but you should call your surgeon's office and let them know that you are suffering from nausea. Although everything might be okay, it is best to have them check you out - or at least give you guidelines as to when to go see them. Your number one priority right now is to keep from getting dehydrated. Sometimes that in itself can cause nausea.

I had a lot of problems drinking Water after surgery and drank Powerade zero for awhile. I tolerated it better and it has electrolytes in it. I think G2 is another like Powerade zero.

Anyway, get a call in to your surgeon's office. I hope everything resolves itself soon.

I do Vitamin Water Zero... the Acai Blueberry tastes really good to me.

So now it's even worse...I can't eat or drink anything without feeling extremely nauseous and earlier today I threw up foam multiple times and it scared me. :(

I just had surgery on 7 September. I was nauseous the first couple of days. My dietician told me that could happen. She told me to focus on getting fluids in for the first week and not to worry about Protein until next week. I didn't have nausea today and I can handle Protein. Be careful because anxiety can cause nausea as well. I don't know about u but I overthink everything and worry too much. Just a thought

Hi

I am 4 weeks out and nauseous too. It comes and goes. I take the meds for it sometimes.

I had the foam twice. Once it felt like something was stuck. The dr said either I ate too fast or I drank too much before I ate. It's not a problem. Just gross.

Hang in there. I used to love Water now I have to drink it mixed with something to get it down.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
