Feeling Sick All the time

I had surgery on Nov. 7th and I have my 1 month with my doctor tomorrow.

BUT... in the mean time is there anyone who can suggest anything that will help me calm my stomach?  As long as I don't eat anything, I'm fine.  But I feel nauseous ALL THE TIME.  And I can only eat about 2 small bites of anything before I'm too sick to finish.  If I press on, I just throw it up.  I'm so totally fed up with this.  I can't eat, I can't get protein down, in any form without ejecting it! 

Any ideas to help settle my stomach?

Sounds really rough

Are you taking your gas-x strips?  I had some similar problems.  Getting rid of the gas helps with the nausea.  I was given nausea medication too but that made me feel worse. I was taking Gas-X strips 2 at a time every couple of hours. 

The appointments go by quicks so be sure to tell your dr immediately about that feeling.  Maybe ther is something else.

Take care

I'm taking Prevacid.  But I didn't know about gas-x strips.  I'm glad to hear about something I can take!  I'll be sure to tell them about it tomorrow.  Thanks!

I am 4 days post op and having the same feeling.  I find that the only thing that allows me to get down the protein drink is after taking the prevacid tablet to get the gas out.  The nausea follows me constantly but when there is a lull in the gas, I can get at least 4 ounces down.  Good luck

you are doing much better than me!  I can't get a protein drink down to save my life!  I take prevacid first thing in the morning.  Maybe I'll try that and then the gas-x too!
