Nausea

[Tysheena84 33]

Hello all. I hope you are all doing well. I am 4 weeks post op and on softs now. However, everything that I eat gets me super nauseous. I don’t know what it is. I’m staying in the guidelines of what I can and can’t eat, but I am miserable. I haven’t really lost any weight, but I do see the inches disappearing. Has this happened to anyone? What advice can you give because I am getting very depressed?

I would call and talk to your team about the nausea. I’m sure that They can prescribe something that should help with that. If you are following plan and you are seeing inches disappearing try to focus on that and just hang in there and you will see the scale move soon enough.

which surgery did you have?

I had the sleeve.

I'm not sure why the nausea would still be with you 4 weeks post-op. Maybe call the surgeon's office to ask and maybe get a prescription for nausea medication. It also seems odd that you haven't lost any pounds in 4 weeks. It usually falls off like crazy immediately after surgery. Maybe mention that to your doctor as well. Are you going to the bathroom okay?

Are you on nausea meds ? I was miserable too till I got some and then things started to improve for sure

thanks. If you'd had bypass I would have suspected a possibly stricture, but those are pretty rare with sleeves. I agree with the others - I'd contact your clinic. Something isn't right here...

I had a lot of nausea from my Multivitamin. I have to take it with food right before I go to bed. That's pretty common. Or you could be eating too much or too fast. I had a lot of nausea at first. When do you get nausea? Is it all the time? After you eat or drink? At night? Talk to your surgery center, because there is medication you can take for sure. Like ondansetron (Zofran).
