Day 11 and still having a hard time eating/drinking

[JanettRN 0]

Ok, I'm on day 11 and I am getting weaker and weaker. I am only taking in about 230 calories a day, and maybe 8 to 10 oz. of Fluid. I can't seem to make my body hold anymore than that. I can't eat or drink for 2 hours in the mornings due to nausea. I went in and received 2L of fluid yesterday, but still dehydrated. I'm on full liquids til Thursday when I can advance to pureed. Any suggestions?

Have you asked your doctor for Zofran or Phenergan for the nausea? That might be a help.

I have Zofran and Reglan, but not really helping a lot.

Even though you are nauseated, you still need to sip sip sip throughout the day. Mornings are hard for me too because I wake up queasy . Try something warm/hot to start. it relaxes the stomach . I was the same as you, and when I finally started sipping continuously, the nausea cleared with 12 hours. Keep your head up, it gets better.

did they give you suppositories for nausea? That always worked better for me... yes, I agree with the warm fluids in the morning suggestion..and just tiny sip sip sips.
