How do i stop this feeling of sickness? Started by: Laura

Are you taking codeine I think it’s called? I had that after I had my appendix out and I was so ill from it, felt light headed and sick all the time. My aunt used to be a nurse and she advised me to stop taking it 🙂
It could be because you haven’t been to the toilet properly since your op, try a different laxative and see if that helps :)xx

We’re all in the same boat Laura. Hannah has recommended rennie deflatine, so got some coming later. My op was Wednesday but haven’t been toilet either. I think it must be the co-codamol. I only have 4 or 6 of them left now anyway so will prob have to move on to normal pain killers soon. Xx

Had my op Wednesday, was really sick, I’m now only taking paracetamol, ibrofen, and antibiotics, but still feel sick, finding it so hard to eat 🙁 xxx

Hi just thought ide say if you are feeling sick from the painkillers and combination of the constipation which is also through the painkillers your gp can prescribe you anti-sickness tablets and lactalose which both work wonders. Good luck feel better xx

And i deffo agree with using the lactalose its great to get your bowels moveing x

If the pain is bearable id start takeing paracetamol instead as well as the antibiotics, i no there not as strong but that sick feeling is horrible and at the time id rather of had that bit more pain than the feeling sick xx
