Does everyone have nausea?
No nausea here. I knew I would be nauseous after surgery because I was nauseous right after I had my gallbladder removed. The anesthesiologist took great care of me & gave me a patch & something in my IV to make sure I wasn't nauseous after surgery and it worked! The only time I feel a slight bit nauseous is if I drink my protein shake too fast. I just take a little break & go slower and all is well. I haven't had any nausea issues with soft foods. I time my bites & make sure they are small.
I was concerned about nausea so I asked for anti-nausea meds. They gave me a patch and something in my IV, and I didn't have any nausea. I did feel a queasy about eating for some weeks - not immediately after surgery, but maybe 6 weeks out, but I just didn't want to eat, and when I did eat, I could hold it down.
So if you are concerned ask for meds. they really do the trick.

I didn't have any nausea after surgery. If you do, they will give you medication in the hospital to help with it.

I had nausea all the time until about 2 1/2 moths out. I lived on zofran which helped, but didn't stop it completely. Between 2 1/2 and three months out it just eased away. My doctor said I was one of the unlucky few it happens to. I dealt with it because it has all been worth it. I had gastric sleeve surgery on June 19, 2014 and I have lost 83 pounds so far.
