Is nausea caused by overeating after RNY?

The times when I feel nauseated are when I eat something that is too
fattening, or if I eat too quickly. I never realized that I eat so quickly.

i have experianced nausea after over eating and had to throw up i try not
to make a habit of it but it has happened. nausea right after surgery is
also normal sometimes is caused by having mucus in your pouch. i felt
better after my one week check up and the doctor orderd zantac. best luck

For me, no. I never "hurled" after surgery, but I do recall two
episodes of nausea when I thought I might. One was brought on by a sip of
Cystal Lite lemonade, about two weeks post-op, which I've been able to
drink before and since with no problems. The other happened at about three
weeks out, when I ate a baby brussel sprout (well chewed). That time, I
waited ten minutes, tried another one, had no problems. Just part of the
healing process, maybe?

No necessarily. I could barely eat at all BECAUSE of the nausea I had 24/7
for the first 3 months post-op. I also had a slow-emptying pouch, so food
hung around in there for hours, making me feel nauseous. Things are much
better now at 11 months post-op. Even though I had a lot of nausea early
on, I never vomitted, and still haven't to this day. Hugs, Joy

I am 11mos post-op. I can remember for the first few months there would be
times when everything including water would make me throw up or just
nausious. There seemed to be no ryme or reasoning behind these episodes. I
was a BIG water drinker pre-op but I think I was 4 mos. post-op before I
could have a glass of water comfortably. I had to drink iced tea and
crystal light to avoid nausea. Tea really soothed my tummy. It does pass.
Hang in there!
