I'm so nauseated...... Whats wrong with me?

Ever since I got up this morning I have had this constant nauseated feeling and find even drinking water or any fluid to make me ill... I've not been sick persay but I just feel horrible and shaky... Is this normal?? What do you all suggest I do?? Chelle In NNY

Hi Chelle. I am 2 days shy of being 4 weeks post op and believe you me, I have days like that! My Dr said thatI need to drink more more and more water (nausea is a symptom of dehydration).... and that my protein intake may be too low. Remember this "sip sip sip" GB patients motto LOL. Are you taking your B12 vitamin? Your chewables? Your Tums? How are you with your shakes? Hope this helps! Jalonda

Aha! I feel so silly now... My fiance reminded me that I've barely drank anything today since I slept in... That explained a lot, thank you Jolanda! I have a bad habit of skipping the fluids in life... I think I've always been like that but now apparently I need to change that... I don't take B12 as of yet... I'm taking vitamins (flintstones chewables 2 per day), viactive chews (3 a day)... Don't take the Tums but use GasX when I feel like I need it... I am eating proteins like chicken or turkey at least once a day, plus an egg at least once a day and a CIB carb conscious packet with skim milk at least once a day... I talked to my nutritionist on Thursday of this past week and she said I was doing fine... Told me to drink more fluids tho... Hmmmm go figure!! I just have to stop being so darn stubborn as my fiance tells me... Since I drank a little bit of fluids and had some dinner I do feel somewhat better... It's weird how a body reacts to things at times... My mom about flipped out when I told her I had lost 26 lbs in 13 days... She thought that was why I was feeling so weak... I dunno myself if that has anything to do with it or not?? ... Anyways, thanks for the info sweety! Chelle In NNY --> Must drink more fluids & stop being a poopy head
