Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
I’m happy for you having had the MALS surgery but I’m sorry you don’t feel well now.
You could ask your doctor for a prescription for an anti nausea medication.
It’s probably better in the beginning to eat smaller meals more frequently. Same with liquids. Continuous sipping. Choose some easily digested food- yoghurt maybe, toast, egg, applesauce or similar.
If the anti nausea medication doesn’t work you will have to be examined.
