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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Are you drinking coffee? The PH is low & adds to acid issue.


No, not drinking coffee, never been a coffee drinker

This can happen if you are not drinking enough Water. 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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
