Nausea every time I eat - 3-4 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

I’m 3.5 weeks post op and I’m having nausea with anything but Protein Shakes or Fage yogurt. Weeks two up to three it was diarrhea. Now constipated and needing to take Zofran to curb nausea at least once a day. My nutritionist said I still need to try new foods and eat very very slowly. Anyone have advice?

Hi @loveflowers

Man, you weight is coming off fast! It is so great you can get the Protein Shakes in. Have you tried Protein Soups? Hot and savoury, which makes a great change from the often-sweet shakes. And yogurt is good too - some of my earliest variety was adding flavour to plain yogurt - sweet chilli, chipotle...

Your surgical team will have good advice - it does come right, but sometimes takes a little time. And the diarrhoea-then-constipation is very very common! Again, it usually comes right...

Nice to see you here - the support makes all the difference...

I went through a similar path. Make sure you stay on the liquids. The Constipation stage was horrible for me. Brought out roids and I won't even get into that. I ended up taking daily Probiotics and adding them to yogurt or pudding, and every other day had probiotics that had added Fiber. I think the brand was Culturelle? I stole some from the supply for my kid - but the adult version is just taking 2 of the kid doses. I started with kid doses (one packet of powder).

Just make sure you get those liquids for sure. I have heard the biggest contributor to readmissions and complications ends up being dehydration. Back in the day I would just chug a bottle or two of Water and catch up, gone are those days!

I went through that as well. It passed as i got used to food again. Keep taking anti nausea meds and stay hydrated. I’d stay in touch with your nutritionist too. All just what I’d do :) Hang in there.

I was soooo nauseous the first 3-4 weeks! It eventually resolved itself. Hope you feel better soon!

      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.
