Hey my bariatric Buddies.  I am 6 weeks post op and as of a week and a half ago, I've been nauseous on and off throughout the day. I've not thrown up but this feeling is very uncomfortable. Has anyone else been through this?  And could you spare some tips?

Dehydration can cause that. Major issue.  Not enough salt - when you get nausea - see if putting a pinch of salt at the back of your tongue would help. 

Ginger tea.- that worked best for me.. 

Watching what you eat - some food that I found I was allergic too later on- manifested itself with nausea first.  Too much sugar - even natural - like in milk or fruits - always get me "in" even now.

My surgeon told me to use OTC Prilosec once/day for the first six weeks.  Never had a problem w/nausea during recovery.  Definitely check hydration as that can be a big cause of nausea.

I'd second the mention of possible dehydration, nausea can definitely be a symptom of that. Try pushing really hard to get 80 to 100 oz of fluids a day and see if that helps. Also, are you on any PPI or other acid reducing medication? Excess acid can trigger nausea.

Good luck! I hope you're feeling better soon.
