Stomach pain / nausea 9 days post op



Recommended Posts

I’ve been attempting to get my 64OZ of Water in, along with my Protein. However yesterday and today that seemed to be impossible! The Premier Protein shakes are making me feel sick on top of the internal muscle / suture pain I have on my right side I just feel like crying. Please tell me there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Did you Surgon give you anything for nausea? This is weird but try taking a teaspoon of raw oatmeal. Wash it down with Water if it gets too dry in your mouth.
I’m over 3yrs post op. I buy meclizine by the bottle on Amazon & take it about 4-5 times a week.
I always do the oatmeal when I’m at home, but I do the meclizine if I’m out somewhere.
I hate feeling nauseous!

Overall, yes, it gets better as time goes on. But there will be setbacks along the way: days you don't feel as good, days things hurt, days a food doesn't agree with you, etc. On top of that, right now you are still healing and your body is wondering what the heck is going on.

After surgery, I really couldn't stand to drink the Premier Protein drinks. I think it's because I had them so much before surgery. A lot of my taste buds changed after surgery.

Don't forget to drink them exceedingly slow. I only had a couple sips every few minutes. The only time I had pain or nausea was when I drank to fast (and that still happens now). Also, I found that walking helped. I paced the house a lot to get rid of that uncomfortable feeling.

One thing that did make me feel better and allowed me to get the Protein in without the shakes was Soup. I had pho broth with unflavored Protein Powder, or ithe lipton cup of soup (cream of chicken) with unflavored protein.

It will get better! You got this.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
