Back to Work; Lots of Nausea

[NB223]

I’m a little over 6 weeks post op and went back to work on Monday; I was surprised how nauseous I’ve become. With the exception of the first few days, I haven’t had any nausea during my journey. I can’t quite pinpoint why this is happening or the best way to counteract. Any ideas?

I’m sorry to hear about your nausea. Have you been able to adhere to your eating and drinking schedule?

I am making time for meals and waiting half an hour before and after drinking water, but the timeline for doing so has changed. I feel a lot for rushed while being at work and I don’t get to spend all day in my office so there are chunks of time where I am not eating or drinking. I try to keep that under 30 mins though

It might be tiredness. I struggle to eat when I’m busy and tired. Then I revert to liquids like soups, Greek yogurt and fat free coffees.

I had my surgery five weeks ago tomorrow and have been experiencing lots of nausea too. It is worse when I wake in the morning and early afternoon. Most days I’m having to take nausea medicine. Hoping that this goes away soon.

I went to my nephews birthday party at my sister’s today. She’s a nurse and said that I’m most likely dehydrated and that’s causing my nausea. She brewed decaf tea and made iced tea for me with lots of ice, stevia, and lemon. I drank about 16 ounces while I was there, which was incredible because I haven’t been able to drink that much in a day. My nausea went away as I was drinking my iced tea.
