three days post-op: nausea!!!

[Sunta 5]

Hi can someone help,

I woke up this morning with bad nausea. I am terrified of vomiting. Is this normal and what can I take to ease it? I was not given anything for nausea... thank you all for being there.

Call your doc.

Are you taking pain pills? If so, stop.

And call your doc.

Yeek! That is the worst part of this whole new life!!! My child's doctor has given me a recipe for a secret nausea remedy which I use all the time. I hope it will work for you as well.

Mix 2 teaspoons of mylanta or maalox with 1 teaspoon of benadryl. Drink it slowly, with no chaser!!! The mylanta will coat the tummy and the benadryl will settle it!! I really hope it works for you as well as it has for my family!! I have thought of bottling and selling it!!

Good luck sunta, and welcome to band-land!!!

My doc gave me some expensive anti-nausea meds. Make him give you some too. I used mine, needed them with the pain meds.

Oh, I forgot to ask - are you sure you aren't having the nausea because of digestive juices having nothing to do? Try some chicken broth or other "comfort" food...it just may do the trick without needing to use my "secret potion"!!
