Help Nausea
I am 15 weeks out. My surgery was March 13. I didn't have any problem until I was about 6 weeks out. I have had problems since I have transitioned to solid food. I don't know any other DS patients. Most people have the RNY gastric bypass. Can you drink the protein shakes? I find the taste of them repulsive now. Do you have trouble taking pills? I have a terrible time. I vomit almost every time I take them. I get tired so easily now. I am going to the doctor tomorrow. I will let you know what she says.
I am only almost three weeks out and mine started at two weeks when I started soft foods. I tried going back to just protein shakes and they make me nauseous too. I was supposed to start my vitamins last week but then this started so I haven't even attempted it. Let me know how your appt goes. Good luck.
Hey Dolphingirl I hope the Doc has some good advice. Here are a couple of things you an try with the shakes.
Buy unflavored and put it into things like coffee, yogurt and cottage cheese. I've heard Unjury unflavored is good. Some of the vitamin
places (Vitamin Shoppe?) and some online places will sell you samples packs (vitalady.com among others). You might also
look into protein powder from Jay Robb - it is based on eggs and some people find they can handle that better.
As for the pills maybe you could do a separate post listing what you are taking and when. Have you tried to see if it one pill
in particular that causes the upset?
Are you getting enough fluid in? Dehydration can cause nausea. It's also worth checking with your PCP if increasing hydration doesn't help.

Dehydration is the first thing I thought of too. You should be getting 64oz in minimum no matter how hard it is. Just do it. You may need to get yourself to the ER for an IV bag to get you back on track.
