Recommended Posts

the gas pain finally went away yesterday, but i have been nauseous all nite last nite and all day today. i havent been able to drink too much. Water is all i can really take. i tried some broth, but was only able to get a few teaspoons in.

Last nite i threw up, dry heaves really, since there was nothing in my stomach but a little water. Today i just threw up again, but this time it was bile that came out. I do feel a little bit better afterwards.

Am i nauseous and throwing up because i have nothing in my stomach? i spoke to my surgeon this morning and he said to not take any Protein Drinks yet, since im feeling nauseous, and if i still feel this way tomorrow, he will prescribe some anti-nausea meds.

What if anything am i doing wrong? I feel like crapola.

Nausea is common after surgery. Just follow your surgeon's instructions; if you are worried about it call back and ask that they phone you in an anti-nausea prescription now rather than tomorrow.

i was banded 2 june. i was also nauseous at first but found it got better after i managed to get some Soup down. So for me i think it must have been hunger even though i didn't feel hungry.

I was banded 8th June... and the day after I was dry heaving - seems they just needed to change my anti sickness meds...

As soon as they did that, and I had eaten some Soup, I was fine. I'm now on day 4 and feeling great apart from port site pain.

I am sorry to hear that. I had my surgery on June 3rd but I was never nauseated. Did they send you home with a patch behind you ear for nausea?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
