Reply to "Post Surgery nausea"

I too suffer from debilitating post op nausea.  Once my gut starts working more normally the nausea will go away.  Taking small amounts frequently can help and pay attention to what your body craves.  For me it is simple carbohydrates. I lived on baked potatoes for quite some time.  I found that gravol just made me sleepy.  I enjoyed lemon ginger tea.

Make sure you are walking and moving as much as possible to get your gut motility going.  Lying on the sofa is OK but the more you move, the better.  Sometimes when our gut has been manipulated surgically it causes nausea too.  It seems our bodies way of saying “don’t do that”.

I had surgery March 9 and it took about 10 days for the nausea to go away only to be replaced by indigestion!  Pantoloc and yogurt to the rescue.

Hope you feel better soon.
