How do you deal with the nausea?
I'm going on 5 weeks post op and I have days where I'm Nauseated but I have to rhyme or reason why? It doesn't happen at a certain time or because of a certain food. I could eliminate what is making me nauseous if I knew but I have no clue. Anyone have the same thing happen?

I'm about 9 months out and still occasionally get nauseated. Sometimes I think I probably eat too fast or something just doesn't sit well with me. Something I could tolerate last week just may not sit ok this week. Last month I could eat a little rice. This week I threw it up. I think its just part of the process. Taking phenergan was a life-saver for me. I remember being nauseated for days at a time and there wasn't anyway to get rid of it. Sorry, I wasn't more help. I just think its something we all deal with.
I got a prescription for sublingual (under the tongue) Zofran. Just pop one under the tongue and shortly the nausea is gone. It has been a lifesaver at times!!

to get you thru the weekend, try mint tea and/or ginger tea. Altoids also makes ginger mints which are VERY strong. Ginger helps with nausea....

I had lots of naseua. I was told to drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration can cause naseua. Also from what I understand, if you are prescribed actigall, it can cause naseua. I have a bottle here that I havent started taking yet out of fear. but i suppose that since it's been about 2 months of no naseua for me, I should be fine.

I'm a year post op now, and deal with Daily nausea. Sometimes things like saltines help. Sometimes it's take the zofran and lay down ( I also occasionally get light headed with it). But recently I had to have a urgent surgery, and well, didn't take my vitamins for a couple days. NO Nausea. That couple days turned into weeks, and a month, and truth is 3 months for some. Some I took when I thought about it. I experimented and found it was the B12, the calcium and the iron. Found a good iron. I'm now taking that without issues. The calcium I have to take, and just take it with zofran. The b12, i'm getting shots now.
