Need Help Really Fast

[Nicki Leilani 12]

I am five days post op and I need help on something that has taste and I can hold on too. Don't know what else to do.

Are you vomiting? At 5 days I was having sugar free Popsicles and fusgesicles, thinned out cream Soup, broth and soy milk. Of course, protien ahakes.I was On full liquids, not Clear Liquids. Hang in there, it will get better:)

It depends what you are allowed. At that point I could only have sugar free clear liquid. Sugar free pops and sugar free Jello were good. Just had to portion out the jello first. I liked to get broth in just to get something salty. Are you throwing up? That can mean you are drinking too much or too fast. If this continues you should call your doctor.

No vomiting. Just the smell of food makes me sick. I'm not hungry but I know I need to eat something. I live sugar free Jello and popsicles. I have tried thin chicken broth. I just want to move to puréed foods. I need to make sure I am getting everything in right. Especially Water and Protein Shakes.< /p>

I hear ya... I'm 13 wks. post op and sometimes the smell of foods makes we want to vomit. When I first came home fromt the hospital I was on liquids for a week. sugar free popsicles, Water, Protein Shake, creamy Soup. As long as you get your water in and focus on the Protein shake you should be OK. This will pass and get better with each day. The number one thing is you do not want to get dehydrated so sip, sip,sip,sip all day long. My doctors told me to get a minimum of 64 oz. of water AND protein a day. I have been going for the 70-80 grams of protein /day because I feel the more protein the better (my opionon only !) and of course the water !!!

I couldn't even be in a house with someone cooking. I lived off oatmeal because it didn't have a smell.

[Nicki Leilani 12]

Can I eat that now? Please say yes. My Family been here in my house cooking I almost just said I will move out. Them eating does bother me but the smell just kills. Oh and another thing I have a king nose now I smell everything even bad breath from a distance. They took my stomach away and gave me a good smelling nose.

Now I am getting in my Water and Protein and popsicles but cream Soup that smell kills. My husband went to get me some chicken noddle soup may be I can sip on that. Thx again

I am at 7 weeks. First 2 weeks I could not eat anything! In the third week i was not eating or drinking- so doc moved me to next stage. I could eat cottage cheese, french onion Soup, greek yogart and Peanut Butter. The doctor gave me nausea pills that melts under your tongue. That helped, but I could not take the smell of anything. The smell of things have not changed- I have to wash dishes twice I can smell plastic, my husband had to change shower gel and ughh still hate smell of food especially meat!

Please find something so you don't go through what I did!!!

I was living on crushed ice. None of that was enough calories and I got really weak, dizzy and sick (sign of dehydration) was hospitalized 3 times - developed horrible uti tht turned into kidney infection which I've had for 7 weeks.

[Nicki Leilani 12]

Oh my I am so sorry to hear that. Yes you have been through it I am about to try this chicken noodle Soup now because I don't want to go back to the hospital.

I also have smell issues. Went to Walmart today and every isle smelled a different kind of bad. I just wanted to puke. Baby oatmeal worked for me. Had a smooth texture but no crazy smell. I did mix it with some vanilla Protein Shake to thin it down.

[Nicki Leilani 12]

Okay I am sitting here sipping the chicken noddle Soup what do I do with the noddles can I make them them mushy? I am trying to work a liquid recipe
