Cannot eat or drink anything, i get sick.. Help!

[cdestrada 6]

I am 18 days post op, had my surgery January 27th. At first when I was on liquids, I was fine. But now that I am on soft foods, everything makes me sick. I feel nautious when I eat or try to drink Water. I can barely drink maybe 30 oz of water a day. Will this ever go away? I can eat my broths fine though. So frustrating..

You may not be ready for soft foods yet...everyone heals at a different rate. If broth is OK, go back to liquids for another few days or a week. At the beginning I could not drink plain Water so I mixed apple juice 50/50 with water and it was much easier to drink. You can try adding some unflavored Unjury protien to the broth too. And yes, this will go away....for some people it takes longer than others.

It will go away. I was told to have a cup of hot tea a half hour before I ate. It seam to help. I am 31/2 months out and liquids are still easier that food. But I can eat anything now. Jut not much of it

Oh ok.. Yeah that's what I started doing was went back to eating just my broths. Thank you, I sure hope it does get better.

Same thing happened to me. Dehydration causes nausea too. I switched back to liquids and skipped my purée stage and went straight to soft foods. I'm much better now.
