nausea after fundoplication

Okay - I'm 3 weeks post op of full nissen fundoplication. I can eat pretty much anything...as in it goes down just fine and I can burp. However, I keep having episodes of nausea. Sometimes it starts when I wake up (no I'm not pregnant) and lasts all day no matter what I eat or if I stick with liquids all day. Sometimes it happens after I eat something even though I'm very careful with my portion sizes. I'm not quite sure why this keeps happening, it doesn't seem to matter if I stick to a special easy to digest diet or not. It also almost seems to happen every 3 or 4 days.

Anyone else having troubles with this? Did it go away after a while?? It wouldn't be so bad if the anti nausea medication didn't make me tired and I could fully function on it.

Doghouse:  Nausea is part of this surgery and yes, I had it non-stop for about 4-5 weeks.  I took the nausea medication like it was candy everyday.  Yes, it did make me a little drowsy but luckily I wasn't working and still not working.  Even at 4 months post op, I still have to occasionally take a pill.  Sometimes, I will wake up with a sour stomach or the nausea will just strike out of no where during the day and do take a pill.  I think it has gotten better but it has taken time.  The problem I am having now is this gas/bloating syndrome which also goes with this surgery.  The gastro doctor told me it will get better eventually and gave me a prescription for Reglan 5 mg.  I am scared to take the Reglan since I have read some horror stories about it but if I remember correctly, I think they gave it to me in the hospital in the iv.  I haven't taken it yet but am taking Gas x and it does help a little.  I think the key here is patience but it is hard and I myself want a quick fix.  I am still dealing with this chest pain that doesn't go away either.  Yesterday, I lifted maybe 3-4 grocery bags nothing really heavy but afterwards, I had lots of chest pain.  I hope this eventually goes away....Barbara.... 

I've taken reglan before with no problems. Well, occasionally it would just make me tired. I took it at night and then during the day if I was having reflux or felt like food was sitting in my stomach or was super bloated. I think the most I took was 5mg maybe twice a day, any more than that and I was too tired but it did help me. I've heard some people take it 4 times a day.
