Nauseous

[It's time. 145]

I'm 4 days post-op sleeve and feel nauseous a lot. I'm guessing it's the pain meds so might switch to just Tylenol. Plus I haven't pooped yet. Any suggestions?

it sometimes takes a week to produce a BM - you don't have much food in your system, plus pain meds can be constipating.

ask your clinic about the nausea. They may be able to give you something like ondansetron (I had that while I was in the hospital, but luckily I was OK once I got home). Or it could be switching off the pain meds might clear that up, too. Opioids make me feel nauseated and give me headaches.

also, make sure you're getting enough fluids. Dehydration can also cause nausea.
