Hello,
I don't think this is related to a viral infection. I believe it can be a side effect of the surgery possible hyperacidity or heartburn.
Also nausea can be related to rapid bypass of the food. I can advise you to eat small meals frequently, avoid high acidity food and sweetened beverages.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
