Day 22 - always nauseous
I had no problems with the diet on the first 2 weeks - Last week and til now I feel like I am always nauseous. I had to regress on my diet because my stomach hates everything!!! I have been doing well with mashed potatoes for the most part but now even they seem to make me uncomfortable. I love eggs but I am not getting along well with them- I burp my brains out when I eat them.
I lost 22 pounds already but I am about to give up on eating!!!
Did anyone else have an issue with nausea?
Are you getting enough fluids? It's hard to get enough fluids when you feel so nauseous but even slight dehydration will cause nausea.
Are you getting enough protein? Lack of protein can also cause nausea.
Did your doc prescribe anything for nausea? If not, call right now and ask him to call in a script for you.

Dehydration, not enough food, not enough fats to stimulate GB - may cause the nausea...
For me - the ginger tea and ginger helped when I was dealing with that (for 4 months - daily),
It was not nice. But I found out that I had to drink warm liguids in the morning. Nothing cold. First tea - then maybe an hr late r- could drink (warm) protein shake... Typically I could eat strating after noon... If I di dnot follow the "rules" and get nause first thing in the morning - the nausea would last the whole day... I learn quickly what my pouch wants and does not want... Cold drinkls and plain water was not acceptable to my pouch... I still can't do that some days.

More water. You could be dehydrated. The symptoms make it harder to eat and drink - when drinking more is just what we need to do. I had it at first, fainted and chipped my tooth on the bathroom floor. Same symptoms. Try to get in at least the 64 ounces required every day and go a bit beyond. Eggs are hard when a new post op. See what your doc wants you on at this point.
I was liquids for 3 weeks then soft foods, but nothing dense like eggs. Try other pureed/soft foods that digest easily. At this poin****er is more important than food. Make sure you get it all in even if it's a struggle. You'll feel better as soon as you're rehydrated.
