Before I eat my stomach is upset and I feel like throwing up and I have a upset stomach after I have eaten I feel like not eating after my stomach feels upset.and I don't eat I take a nap to feel better.I hate this feeling.

How often are you eating?

When you do eat, how much food do you have? 

What kind of food? Is it the type approved for you at this point post-op (mushies, etc.)?

What type of iron is it? Elemental iron? Some people find that it bothers their stomach, but sometimes iron carbonyl is a little easier to handle. I take that, I get "Feosol" with the teal label from Walgreen's and it works well.

Since you're fairly new out of surgery, I'd suggest calling your doctor and seeing if he/she has any other suggestions.

I absolutely can't take ANY pills on an empty stomach - ever.  Pills, vitamins, whatever...make me instantly nauseous and I will throw them up.  

Talk to your doctor about other ways to ingest these ie. liquid, gels, etc.  I can usually get my PPI down OK in the morning everything else has to be after I eat.

Are you getting in enough fluids? I managed to get dehydrated post surgery and the nausea was one of the symptoms. It sucked forcing myself to drink when I was nauseous but it was better than the couple of hospital stays I also when I allowed myself to get dehydrated :)

I would drop the iron for a few weeks. Your numbers won't tank that fast. Give yourself time to heal.  Vitalady has Tender Iron which is easy on the tummy

When I was preggo, iron and folic acid did a total number on me nausea wise and to this day I'm not a fan. So it doesn't surprise me that it might cause issues.
