Hi I had mine Monday....I was the same, Had to get meds for nausea ...Are you home or still in hospital?

@@Antonia_megan - i too had to have nausea pain meds. See if you can get some warm tea or some G2 (room temperature). I found those to be a little easier on my tummy. Pain pills will be hard to stomach for a while. Even my smallest pill I take hits my tummy like a rock. If you can have someone find it (once you are discharged) - CVS, sells a liquid Extra Strength Tylenol (for adults), that I took, instead of another pain pill that hurt my tummy. The liquid tylenol was a life saver!

Wishing you a quick recovery and that your pain decreases quickly!! Hang in there - it DOES get better.

See if you can get a script for zophran. That is the only thing that helped me.

No I was discharged yesterday. And even with the nausea meds that doesn't help me keep anything down.

C im 5 weeks out and I still can't keep food down and most liquid don't stay down either

I was the same way and had to stay in the hospital an extra day. My nausea was so much worse after this surgery than it was when I got food poisoning years ago. The Zofran anti-nausea that they pushed through my IV did nothing for me, but ask for Phenergan - a different anti-nausea. That one actually helped. It comes in a suppository and works really quickly. They only issue with it is that it makes you drowsy and when you are sleeping, you are not drinking. You need to be careful to get in liquids They shouldn't have you taking pills since they won't stay down. They had me do a whole day of taking in nothing by mouth (hooked up to the IV, of course), to let my stomach rest and that helped. It also helped to do the deep breathing - and I mean really deep so that it makes your abdomen rise.

I am also 2 days post-op and cannot keep anything down. I am in so much pain because I can't swallow my pain meds. Even bought liquid Tylenol and that came back up.
