post op nausea?!!!!

i'm feeling really nauseas...don't know if that's normal but it kind stinks....other that that...no real pain...just yuckiness...i'm trying to drink protein shakes...we'll see...i just wondered if anyone experienced this...and what they did? or does/when does it go away?
thanks!

I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well.
I wish I had advice but as a pre-op, I don't.
Hopefully it will go away soon.
Does it feel like when you have the flu or something?
I guess you could all ways call the doctor or nurse tomorrow
if it doesn't go away.

Liz,

No nausea for me, other than when I tried to crush and mix meds with yogurt.  No way, no how can I take it.  Have you tried a little chamomile or peppermint tea?  Not too hot, just warm.  This might settle your grouchy pouchy.

My mom had her surgery 10/7.  She has had a lot of nausea with it.  I did a  lot of research and it seems to be from dehydration.   Maybe you could try upping your water intake.  Her problem is that she would drink caffeinated tea and caffeine actually dehydrates you more.

Hope it helps!  My surgery is tomorrow!  :)

I know when I was in the hospital a few of the other people
who had the surgery complained of nausea,

but I can tell you it wasnt from the surgery, it was from the
painkillers.

We were given a PACU where we push the button for more
morphine/demoral  whateveer pain medication.  so basically
they were getting nauseous from pushing for more pain meds.

good luck with your weight loss!
