Post-Op Nausea( 4 days)

Hi Folks, Amy is 4 days post-op and having bouts with nausea. She is up and walking and drinking per the program but is having nausea. She has been taking her anti acid prescrition they gave us every day but this just came up yesterday. Did anyone else have this? Any ideas? Thanks, Bob Nolen

Sorry to hear Amy is having problems with nausea. I was very lucky not to have that problem, but when someone in our house has problems with nausea we try to make them hot tea (we like camomile but any will do) try adding lemon, and a small amount of ginger. (fresh if you have it) This seems to calm the tummy. Hope she starts feeling better soon. Carol

Hi there, what kind of diet was she prescribed? There should be not fat at this early stage... Sometimes, even itty bitty amounts of fat can make you feel like that. Also, whatever meds she is taking, should be taken during meals, (not before or after) Hope this helps. If it doesn't, one thing I'll assure you: IT GETS BETTER!!!!! Please tell her I have her in my thoughts!! -Flávia

Thanks, We are on liquids,cream soups, we will try the medicine with the food. I will pass your comments on to Amy Bob

Hi Bob! Hope this post finds Amy doing better. If the nausea is THAT bad and starts to interfere with her fluid/"food" intake, contact the surgeon. They may be able to prescribe Lortab I believe it is for the nausea OR better yet they have Phenergan (spelling?). Phenergan is a suppository so she won't have to swallow anything else and it works well. I did not have this problem with this surgery but did with a previous one...trust me, ask for phenergan if the surgeon will give it up. Best Wishes, Danielle -30lbs.
