Constant nausea

[jssj96 2]

I am 3 1/2 weeks Fromm sleeve surgery. I take one or two sips of anything and feel so nauseated. I try to get in my Water and Protein but I am really not able to. MD said it was normal & that the dehydration makes me nauseous. Any suggestions?

sugar-free popsicles and Jello helped me. I'd also try experimenting with temperatures of Water and flavors. Hot tea and Crystal Light were far easier for me to swallow in the beginning.

Keep on sippin' - as slowly as necessary. Walk, walk, walk. Popsicles - SF if you can find them, but regular if they work better for you. Calories are not your priority until you get the hydration going.

Try all different kinds of Clear liquids until you find something that doesn't make you nauseous (or at least makes you less so). Ask your doc for an anti-nausea med - one kind comes as a tiny pill that disolves under the tongue and lasts 6 hours, and there's another that comes as a patch you wear behind your ear and lasts 24 hours. Hope you feel better soon!
