3 weeks post op & dealing with nausea

[snoozingcat 11]

Hi guys. I’m 3 weeks post op from getting VSG. I am on purée and soft foods right now. I’ve been dealing with nausea a lot the past week.

Sometimes it happens after eating, so I’ve been eating only 3oz at a time whereas before sometimes I’d have 4oz. That seems to help some but then there are other times when I haven’t eaten anything recently and I feel nauseous after taking a sip of Water.

I haven’t vomited at all, but whenever I feel nauseous I have to lay down for a bit so that the feeling passes. If I wasn’t able to lay down then I’m not sure if I could keep myself from throwing up. I’ve started taking my anti nausea meds again that I have leftover from surgery.

Is this normal? I have my 1 month post op appointment with my doctor next week and I will ask him about this then, but I wanted to know if any of you have gone through this.

I hope it’s just a temporary thing because having to stop and rest until the nausea goes away keeps me from getting a lot done during the day.

Hi, i felt the same way. It started for me after one month and a half, i was always tired and felling nauseous. I couldn't take a sip of Water. It was really hard to eat anything.

After a couple weeks i started felling better. The anti nausea meds helped me through

I hope you get better soon!

I had nausea start for me at 4 weeks post op as well. It was when I had an empty stomach and drinking Water made it worse. It slowly faded over time. It changed from nausea to just an uncomfortable ache. Now at 4 months post op it is very mild, and comes and goes.
