If only 2 days post: Op, ; with no pain, just a couple of days more ambulate if you can- my spouse was actually laid up for over a week with post op symptoms.

It will probably ...: Resolve in the next few days. 2 days postop is still very early postop -- the stomach and intestines may still be somewhat sluggish. Her surgeon should be able to prescribe some kind of anti-nausea medicine. If it continues to be a bothersome problem, follow-up with the surgeon.

Pain medications?: If you are taking pain medications, they may cause nausea. However if this is not the case and the problem has been present for more than a week or getting worse at any time, do check with the surgeon asap.
