Dealing with symptoms after Gallbladder surgery

@eeklady, Welcome to Mayo Connect. I would like to say that I am happy that your surgery is behind you, but from what I read, I see that you are currently struggling with some unpleasant symptoms.
After my husband's surgery, he mostly sipped liquids, and ate small amounts of soft foods.
Had you been experiencing any of the nausea issues prior to your gall bladder surgery? Do you think that might be part of the current problem? Who prescribed the PPI? and why did you stop taking it?

Thanks for the welcome! I was indeed experiencing nausea before my surgery. My primary care doctor prescribed the PPI for me while we were still trying to figure out the issue. Once gallbladder was identified and removed I stopped taking it thinking my nausea was just because of the gallstones. Unfortunately from the moment I woke up from surgery I continued to be nauseous. On my primary care doctor’s advice I started the PPI again and nausea subsided. She seems to think my stomach is very irritated. After two weeks I stopped PPI because I thought I was recovered but nausea returned. On PPI again and seem to be nausea free. Didn’t know if anyone else had similar experiences. I will be interested to visit with a gastroenterologist but the wait to see him is just so long! Two more weeks to go!
