Walking = Nausea



Recommended Posts

I am a little over three weeks post-op at this time. Almost everything is healing perfectly fine. No more pain or congestion. However, I have noticed that I get extremely nauseous after walking for any period of time (besides short trips around the house). I do not experience any light-headedness or dizziness, just the nausea. Have any of y'all experienced the same thing this far out from surgery? Is it normal? Thank you all in advance for your responses. :)

4 Weeks post-op. Nausea after taking my medication. I carry around essential oil bottles of ginger or peppermint. Take some deep snorts straight from bottle and it eases the nausea. Used it prior to surgery for same reason and always helped then to. Buy at health food store.

The peppermint oil is a great idea! When I was in the hospital after surgery, the nurse would gave me a cotton ball with peppermint to sniff for nausea. It helped and I didn't have to take the nausea meds very much at all.

I tried the tea too....but when that nauseous difficult to add anything to my sleeve. Brought it up instead. So I stick with oils and I can sniff them anywhere.

If it is the activity making you nauseated, no it does not seem normal to me.

Just my opinion but I have never become nauseous from walking.

I mix my own essential oils as a hobby! I'll have to try peppermint and/or ginger. Thanks for the idea!

Thank you for the opinion. Do you have any idea what may be causing it? Or should I consult with my doctor? I've seen one other post on here about nausea with increased activity (four weeks post-op).

Maybe middle ear Fluid, affects balance, not too far a stretch to nausea also. You're speaking to someone still on Zofran t.I.d. 8am, 4 pm 10om. Keeps Precious Pouch somewhat subdued. I am still fighting stricture/ ulceration wars, praying for a Good EGJ on January 25th. See my surgeon later today, still on monthly visits at 4 mo 10 days, so special I stink! And I wish I wasn't!😪😭💦

Make sure you are well hydrated, but yes I would seek help from a physician.

If you are only nauseated with activity, it seems strange to me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
