Relief for Nausea-No meds

[Butterfly#7 65]

At 7 weeks post gastric sleeve procedure I am still getting occasional nausea. Oddly it's not just when I'm full or need to eat, but I can feel fine and all of a sudden get really nausea with the mouth watering and everything. My doctor gave me a few pills for when I have extreme nausea but I try not to use them every time I feel sick. Does anyone else still experience nausea and other than meds is there another relief? Someone suggested that I get some sugar free peppermints and suck on those ...

Peppermint is a good suggestion. Ginger is another. When I feel sick to my stomach or even bloated, I drink ginger tea. I have ginger hard candies as well, but they're hard to find. Try some ginger.

Ginger. Note that peppermint can cause reflux or make it worse. If the nausea is reflux-related, it might actually make the problem worse.

Also look at your diet to see if there is anything that might cause reflux - when I had terrible reflux, I also had terrible nausea. Even well after I ate and wasn't hungry.
