clmomof2 16 Posted October 3, 2013 I had my surgery on July 31. All had gone well. I was feeling a bit tired here and there. If I ate too quickly I would vomit. So I was able to slow down and got with the program. That was until 3 weeks ago I got a boil under my armpit and about a week later i popped. I started having body aches nausea and fever. I went to the ER on Monday last week because the fever wouldnt stop and another 3 boils started to come out. I was put on antibiotics and sent home. Since then I cant barely eat anything or take my fluids. I dont even like anything I used to like. Not even the ice from my ice maker. The smell of food makes me gag. liquids too. Yesterday all I had was a popcicle and 1/4 diet snapple also ice and bits of Water. Today I forced myself to eat 1/2 of a tiny tenderloin of chicken breast. What can I do? I am scare, I feel exhausted and constantly salivating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clmomof2 16 Posted October 3, 2013 Thanks. After getting my ears pulled by my doctor I have gotten my act together. The constant nausea he says is due to the lack of fluids and Protein. I was dehydrated his office is at the hospital tower so he ordered admission to monitor me. The IV is horrible but after the 3 bag I felt better. I had a small pouched tilapia w cilantro my husband brought and started by chewing crushed ice. I feel muvh better now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
