8 weeks post surgery still nautious



Recommended Posts

Very upset. I'm 8 weeks post surgery and I still get nautious throughout the day. Can't figure out the trigger. Nautious if I don't eat, nautious if I do. I'm fighting back there resentment of having the surgery. Then extra frustrated because what's done is done. Upside of course is the 37 lbs wishes weightloss since pre surgery diet but I don't feel like that outweighs the nausea.

Have you talked to you surgeon about it? Reach out to them and see if they can help you out. I'm sure your not the first case they have heard it from. Good Luck to you, hope you feel better SOON!!!!

Are you taking Vitamins? I know my vitamins make me feel nauseous until I found some I can tolerate. Are you staying hydrated? When I've been dehydrated the nausea is worse. there could be fixable reasons to your nausea. Talk to your doctor and dietician.

I know I'm not drinking enough Water but sometimes the mere thought of it makes me want to throw up. I have tried Crystal light and other liquids but still struggle getting enough down. I will talk to dietician. Thanks.

I got like that and my dr said I was dehydrated and sent me to get fluids by IV. It really helped how I was feeling. I wasn't nauseous or tired. I try to stay on top of it now. I knew going in I was going to struggle drinking 64oz because I could go all day drinking one 20oz.

I was having the same problem. I started out fine and then about week 7 was super sick. I started eliminating foods trying to figure out the trigger. Turns out, I developed and intolerance to whey Protein. My nutritionist had me switch to a plant based protein, that helped.

Good luck!

Water makes me feel nauseous and I loved it before surgery. Gatorade Zero has been a godsend for me. Just thought I’d share that for what it’s worth....

Same here. Before sleeve I guzzled plain Water. Loved it. After surgery it makes me nauseous. Have to add crystal light.

I was having the same issue with being nauseous a few weeks back. Nothing seemed to help, not meds, not cutting dairy, not drinking more Water.
Turns out, after a meeting with my nutritionist, it’s my new signal that I’m hungry...great.

well just woke up and taking inventory. Nausea, nope don't think so yet. Went and got some 15 calorie lemonaid, took Azo and Ditropan for cranky spasing bladder, Zofran to calm tummy down so I don't ge5 chest pain from vomiting, Wellbutrin so I don't start swinging from the curtain rods , maybe I'll watch Flea Market Flip, I l8ke Lara Spencer and I like how they turn junk into "junque" and sell it for a big profit! Does make you think NYC people are lushes, they sell a disproportinate amount of wine carts! Maybe they're bought for other uses.
Lips are cracked, when I was a little Frustr8 I was told that meant insufficent fluids. Yeah once upon a time I wasn't 290 pounds, in fact unti puberty reared its ugly hormone-riddled head on was merely,on the high side of the growth plateau, just looked tall for my age but approximated "normal" But a,lot,of Water under the bridge, 3 tornados, floods and a dorecho, notwithstanding.
When I was a Girl Scout, back before we all had to be political-correct, offend no one we had a musical pre-food Grace
God has created a new day-
Silver and green and gold-
Live that the sunset may find us -
Worthy His Gift,to hold.
And have a shiny new Sunday, get enough Fluid, adequate Protein and just enough calories you don't topple over from light-headed. And keep your weight loss so smooth, you never stall!

      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.
