lime and baking soda

[ckatie0709 24]

I was sleeved on 12/10 and still on a full liquid diet. Before surgery whenever i had an upset stomach i would put baking soda on a lime and bite it, something my hispanic husbands Mom taught me. My Dr has instructed me no carbonated beverages. I've had an upset stomach all day, and his office if now closed, what do you guys think, would it be ok?

I wouldn't do it because the lime might be too acidic. Did you get a prescription for zofran? If not, get one. I swear, I would not make it without that stuff. Also, try just drinking warm Water, not cold. I have heard others say this helps a lot.

[ckatie0709 24]

No, no zofran, I'm gonna call the Dr tomorrow I'll mention that, is it anti nausea medicine? I want even thinking about the lime, i was only thinking about the baking soda. Thank you

Yep it is the best anti-nausea (and vomit) medicine ever. I had to take it throughout my last pregnancy due to hyper emesis and made sure this was on my permanent list of meds for post VSG surgery. I heard that it can cause nausea and I just have a propensity towards it. You will feel so much better. I have heard that there is a very small percentage of people who do not get any resolution with it for some reason though so if it doesn't work, there are other meds out there for this and don't give up!!!

Ginger steeped in warm Water may help but I don't know if ginger could be too hot for your tummy right now. Peppermint tea can be soothing.

I cooked ham and Beans in the crock pot for the family and the whole downstairs smells like that i can't even be down there, i got home and thought i was going puke instantly, hubbys finally home to desk with the kids I'll ask him to bring me warm Water in a little bit. I don't have any of the other things you listed. I do have cinnamon tea. And i have peppermint extract, any luck with either of those? Also i may have ground ginger

[ckatie0709 24]

Desk = deal, I'm on my phone sorry

[stomlin75 161]

Hmm, peppermint extract is likely in an oil base, which won't dissolve in a cup of Water. Best thing you can do is just sip water. Keep at it. Sometimes dehydration can make you feel nauseated too. Just try to keep sipping.

My go to for nausea is Crystal Light lemonade in a room temperature Water, or lime juice mixed with water. I sucked on Lemonheads through both pregnancies, but that's not an option now!

Oh, and I'd stay AWAY from the baking soda!

[ckatie0709 24]

Thanks guys, I can't wait for the Dr office to open!! I'm trying to drink Water bit MSN its making me more nauseous, after the kids ate asleep I'm gonna try to venture downstairs and see if the smell has dissipated at all so i can try something other than water

Drs office sent over a prescription for nausea, but the pharmacy was extremely slow, i was in a different city and had the dr call it to there but by the time i was ready to go home pharmacy said another 2 hours!!! So i said screw it and went home. I'm feeling quite a bit better but have to thank you for the crystal light lemonade recommendation, i had been having a hard time getting enough Water, it just tastes nasty, which is really weird cuz I'm a person who like only drinks water, but today i got much closet to my liquid intake with the cl lemonade.

Glad it helped! It saves me some days.

Strangely enough, I can't tolerate plain Water at all anymore. It HAS to be flavored. Weird!
