NAUSEA!

[ChickMeLove83 5]

Ok, so I am new to this site and this is my first post but I really need help. I am 12 days post op and still having A LOT of nausea. At the 8 day mark (this past Friday) when I had my first post op visit, my doctor released me to pureed food but I can barely drink at this point because I'm constantly nauseated. Pretty much everything I've tried liquid and pureed makes the nausea worse. I'm taking small sips and when I attempt pureed food it's only a few tablespoons. The doctor changed my nausea medication on Friday and although it helps slightly more than the first one I still feel like crap. Has anyone else experienced this? The doctor said it would get better with time but seriously how long is that going to be? I want to go back to work next week but right now that's not looking like a good idea. Thanks everybody!

I'm still waiting to get the ball rolling for me to have surgery. I'm sure someone here will chime in with way more experience. But have you been having any bowel movements? Passing gas? Is stuff going in the right direction? Also, what were the two medications for nausea? Zofran, phenergan, reglan, compazine?

Even more importantly, are you urinating? How often and what color is your urine? Need to make sure you don't get dehydrated. If you're able to get enough Water down, great.

I did experience this and found out I wasn't getting enough fluids. I ended up severely dehydrated by week 3 and spend 3 days in the hospital. Even after 10 months I have a problem with dehydration and will start getting nauseous when it gets bad. You need to make sure you are pushing the liquids. I know it seems like it get worse when you do but the more you push them, the more you rehydrate and that feeling will go away. I was to the point of Water making me sick. That's when I went in.
