Jess55 97 Posted March 30, 2017 I'm 3.5 weeks post op. Had surgery on 3/6. For the past, probably week and a half I've been nauseas every morning. I haven't been even "eating" anything until around noon and even then I'm kind of pushing it. Sometimes I feel better after eating sometimes not. I was supposed to get my TOM yesterday, but it didn't start yet and I have been known to get very nauseas the day I start, but this has been going on for a while now. And before anyone asks, there is no possible way I'm pregnant, lol. Has anyone else had this issue? If it goes on much longer I'll probably move up my recheck appointment.

New Me 31317 25 Posted March 30, 2017 Yes, i had my surgery on 3/13...my doc said it was from Constipation and not enough calories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilEngine 20 Posted March 30, 2017 I'm a week post-op today, and this is my third morning with nausea...make sure you're taking your acid reducers, could also hv something to do with timing of your Vitamins (I think that's my issue, so I'm going to switch it up today), try and sleep propped up a little and of course you know to stay up on your Water and proteins...goodluck!

Jess55 97 Posted March 30, 2017 Definitely not constipated. I guess it could be from lack of calories.I was already taking omeprazole pre op so I'm still taking that. I am taking Vitamins in the morning, but I was already nauseas prior to taking them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaylynnD 10 Posted March 30, 2017 I had my surgery on 3/14, I have experienced the same. By midday I'm ok but mornings are awful and trying to take the Vitamins make it even worse. I called my doctor and they called me in zofran which has been a lifesaver. I had a friend who had the surgery and never had any problems but apparently my system must be a bit more sensitive. I got the medicine same day I called them and I hated that I waited several days before calling. 1 1234567890 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaylynnD 10 Posted March 31, 2017 I'm not a fan of taking medicine if I don't need to so I hesitated even getting anything from the doctor but the zofran kept me from being miserable. There are other medicines for nausea but most of them can make you super sleepy and because I have to work the others weren't a option. I just take the medicine when I feel it which is in the morning and then I'm fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jess55 97 Posted March 31, 2017 Glad to hear I'm not the only one. When I mentioned it at a support group meeting, the coordinator asked if I still had my gall bladder, which I do. But I have no other signs of gall bladder issues so I doubt that's it. I hate going to the doctor and my next recheck isn't until the 21st. I guess I'll give it another week, if I'm still nauseas ill call Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bon Appetit 41 Posted March 31, 2017 Are you drinking coffee? The PH is low & adds to acid issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you get up and then drink something all the toxins that weren't cleared the day before flood your system and you just feel gross and nauseated. Consider carefully stepping up your water intake. And if you don't have reflux consider not taking the acid reducers, they hamper digestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
