Please calm my worst fear!
I'm 2 days out, so who knows...
I got ZERO anti-nausea meds, and I didn't feel nauseous until this morning. I did have some when I first got up today. I figured it might be hunger (I no longer feel hunger in the 'traditional' way and I hadn't eaten dinner the night before), dehydration, or lack of sleep, so I ignored it and had a bowl of Unjury chicken broth. Halfway through the broth, I started to feel better. Then I had some of my homemade broth later on and some herbal tea and felt like a new woman entirely. So... maybe I'll get lucky and not be troubled so much by it. But I can tell you, nausea CAN happen! I do know one woman whose nausea post-VSG dragged on for months. But even hers eventually ended.
Nausea is a risk. Dizziness is a risk. Reflux is a risk, especially with this surgery (and it remains a big fear of mine). You can't predict your reaction any more than I can predict mine. I can't tell you what I will feel like next week or next month. I hope it is smooth sailing. But I knew I was gambling with my health by staying obese, and compared to the HUGE risk for heart disease etc. I was taking, the risks of bariatric surgery were nothing.

I did not have nausea post op. Zero, zip, nada, none. I have had the foamies twice because I ate too fast--my bad. Not everyone has problems. I sailed through surgery and recovery at 60. If you expect to have problems, you are more like to have problems. If you expect things to go smoothly, the chances are better that it will. Your anxiety can be a factor, so lighten up! :-)
well, it took a long time for me not to feel sick. but it hielps to just remember why your doing this. u need to find out what works for u. i had alot of complications with the surgery. but i am 7 months out and have lost 87 lbs and feel better with the weight coming off. eat small amounts, breath, and u will find out what works for u. every dr. in the world can tell u what to do or not to do, just trust yourself. u will faulter, but, thats how u learn what NOT to do or EAT. good luck.
