5 weeks post-op...feeling bad

[HappyMomof2]

Good afternoon! I am 5 weeks post op and I am still very nauseous. Is this normal?! I am finally getting in my protein and my water, but I feel sick after I eat just about anything. I am not throwing up, but I feel terrible. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, when does it stop!?!

I did not have this problem. But I know many do. Have you called your doctor or surgeon? They can easily prescribe you something for nausea so you don't have to suffer while you're healing. Hope you feel better soon.

I am also 5 weeks out. I meet with dietician and RN on the 25. My tummy gets unsettled if I overeat. Then if I drink water it stays unsettled. It is odd that one day I can eat a packet of oatmeal the next day I can’t finish the packet of oatmeal.

It's not abnormal, per se, but getting something to help with the nausea wouldn't be a bad idea and might help you get through things until your body adjusts a bit more to the change. Some people have nausea issues for a while, but they usually resolve. Keep your medical team up to date on how you are feeling and reach out for help to deal with it.

No, that is not odd. It's not unusually to experience variations to how you feel when eating from day to day, especially this early in the game.

Thank you all so much for your replies!! It makes me feel better to know this is normal and hopefully won't stay this way forever. I am seeing my surgeon on Friday. They did prescribe me an anti-nausea medicine, but it makes me sleep, so I can not take it all the time.

I still feel this way and I’m 5 months out. Some days I’m hungrier than others.

I am 9 wks out and still have this from time to time. Not as bad now as before. I would call your doc and ask for something for nausea. I got some over the counter stuff at Walmart and took it. It helped a lot.

I still feel that way every time I eat I feel sick no matter how much or what I eat. I am 6 months post op. Will it ever end?

What does your doctor say about this? I’m sorry it’s happening.

I want everyone who participated in this thread has been a blessing to me and I appreciate you. Most days I am doing good and not having nausea. But the day I have an uncomfortable tummy day, this group is what helps me make it through that day. Thank you.

Hello friends...I am almost three months post-op and feeling SOOO much better. I thought the nausea might never end, but once I got my protein and water intake up and started eating, it stopped for the most part! I am down 70 lbs. I feel like a new person!!!

I am 3 weeks today. I still do not "eat" how soon after you could have food did the nauseous begin? This is part of the reason I am kind of scared to go to some food to. I don't have time in my day to not feel well.

Glad the hear things are going better. And the numbers are remarkable. That is serious great work.
