Soft foods & liquids cause nausea

[BruinsFan36 0]

I started soft foods on 5-21-13, every bite or every sip of Water or milk, even the first one of the day cause nausea. Has anyone else gone thru this? Because of constantly feeling queasy, I'm concerned about getting in enough Protein or fluids.

I was one of those people who had nausea since the day of my surgery. I felt nautious all the times, especially first thing in the morning. Finally my doc gave me some Zofran that helps patents with nausea after surgery. It was hard for me to take any sort of pill with an upset stomach, but luckily these dissolve and taste fruity. It was a life saver. I was only on them for three or four days and the nausea finally went away. I haven't had it since. Hang in there things do get better. This is just a small speed bump on the road to the new you.

Thanks Tootse, my follow up is Friday, if it's still happening, I will ask about the Zofran.

Try Dicyclomine, it's an intestinal cramping and abdominal pain reducer. I first received the prescription last year to pull me out of my IBS attacks. I've had nausea and vomiting since day of surgery (May 21st) Out of desperation last night finally, I decided to empty a capsule into an oz of Water. If it didn't work I was going to take myself to the hospital. I'm only 5 days post op (including op day). I'm only doing water, broth, Protein Shakes and Jello. Anyways, within 15 minutes my pain was gone. I was feeling nauseated, bloated, gassy, and a lot of pressure. All day today I've been putting half a capsule into an oz of water or broth to keep the pain almost non existent. My body is hypersensitive to any changes but that miserable feeling had my daughters 7,14 scared to death last night and then this morning when I woke up. It works, ask your surgeon or pcp for it. It's way better then ondansterdon (zofran)
