I had the same problem about the same time as you. I called Dr. C's office and talked to Kelly and they gave me some meds to help with it. They really worked. I can't remember why I was feeling this way, but I would call them, and let them know what's going on so that they can check it out for you.

It honestly could be a number of things. Anywhere from post-op nausea requiring Reglan to help the motility of your intestines, to the start of a stricture, to an ulcer. Besides talking to the nutritionist you should also speak with the nurse and let her know what is going on. In the meantime work on getting in your fluids....just sip, sip and sip. You don't want to get dehydrated.

Just anv FYI...even before surgery, I was never able to take vitamins on an empty stomach. I would get very nauseos, then inevitably toss my cookies. Now I have to take them, so I take them after I eat breakfast; nighttime vits I take right after supper. No nausea as long as I have a full stomach. (Oh, and right after surgery? I dumped big time on a chewable multivitamin.) Hope you can figure this out soon!
