Nausea - Surgery 10/10, last week I started getting transient nausea

[LittleLizzieLilliput 919]

So I started getting some transient nausea. I have anti-nausea pills so that is good but I wanted to discuss with you guys what I think the cause is - if it continues or gets worse of course I will call my surgeon. But I'm not at that stage yet so I wanted to discuss it here.

I feel like the cause could be lack of eating. I've just started moving to the pureed food and I'm getting so many more calories in, but I only started that this weekend.

Is it possible this nausea is due to lack of caloric intake? I'm really getting very little on the full liquid stage as I stay away from all carb/sugars and was only doing the Protein meals, like 5 a day, so I was well under 800 calories a day.

Could it be from anything else? I am having a lot of acid, which I did discuss with my surgeon. I do find I have a bout of nausea after taking my crushed pills too.

Just trying to work this out. I don't want to go back to my 24/7 nausea pills that I was on prior to surgery (Gallbladder). I'm not big on Ginger either so that suggestion won't work for me.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Drinking liquids too fast or too big sips can cause nausea. Try some changes there and see if that helps. I have never heard that lack of caloric intake causes nausea. I am 4 mths out and average 700 - 800 calories a day.

Unfortunately it often happens when I have nothing in my stomach. I don't drink fast or big gulps - I've been trying to be exactly by the book. lol! I thought maybe the nausea could be because of the lack of intake because it often happens when I haven't had anything in a little while.
