I HAD SURGERY 9/17/10 AND I AM NOW 6 DAYS OUT. I CONTINUE TO WAKE UP WITH NAUSEA , NO VOMITING BUT JUST URPY EVERY MORNING, I AM STRUGGLING WITH GETTING ENOUGH PROTEIN IN EACH DAY AS FIRST OF ALL I HAVE NO HUNGER BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE NAUSEA. I THINK THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD COME OUT OF THIS SURGERY WITH LITTLE OR NO PAIN AND BOY WAS I WRONG. CONTINUE TO HAVE MILD DISCOMFORTING PAIN AT INCISION SITES. I AM HAVING REACTION TO STERISTRIPS BUT DO NOT WANT TO REMOVE AS I HAVE HEALING PROBLEMS AS WITH PAST SURGERIES. I HAVE LOST 11 POUNDS SO FAR AND AM THRILLED BY THAT. I JUST KEEP TURNING ALL OVER TO GOD KNOWING THAT HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO HANDLE ALL THIS,,, HE IS THE TRUTH AND THE ANSWER FOR ME! I DO NOT WANT TO RELIE ON ME OR THE FOOD BECAUSE IT HAS ALWAYS FAILED ME BUT GOD NEVER HAS! THIS SURGERY IS MY AWESOME TOOL THAT GOD HAS PROVIDED ME AND I WANT TO WORK IT LIKE IT IS A TOOL NOT THE ANSWER. I WANT TO SUCCEED!:thumbup:

good positive thinking! As far as the nausea..are you taking pain meds or any meds that might cause nausea?When I had my surgery the Dr prescribed Phenergan for nausea. They were a life saver. Also, right now you aren't hungry but you do need to get that protein in-sip at a time until you are on mushies (I don't remember the time between liquids and mushies). Also, I think some pain at the incision is to be expected because the muscle is healing. I found that having a pillow slightly pressed against it helped, especially if I had to sneeze or cough and sometimes when I got up from the chair. I had a reaction to the strips as well and found that on my tummy I get a rash from band-aids go figure lol. Anyway, keep praying and moving forward and this too, shall pass.
