Bad Nausea! I need Help

[teshadb 203]

Am technically 7 days post op for my surgery but had to go back in due to issues recovering. So I was discharged from the hospital today. liquids gag or don't sit well. The smells of everything turn me off. I am so weak I'm scared at this point that I will never get liquids down. I take of ran and not 2 seconds later I vomit. Any help with this or hope would be great.

What are you sipping? Plain Water can be very difficult to drink and actually induce vomiting in some people. Certain flavers can also gag you. I had to completely change which shakes I drank. And even which flavor poweradezero I drank.

I also have to take zofran for a few weeks after.

If you have started taking Vitamins or are still taking pain medication they could be making you sick. Stop the drugs. As the previous poster said the Water can make you nauseous so you might need a little flavoring like crystal light, SF Kool Aid, or some of the others. The first week is pretty difficult and you just might need a couple of more days. Did your doctor give you some anti=nausea medication to bring home? If so take that and if not... call your doctor and get some. Good luck.

I had some nausea but not severe. Warm herbal tea worked for me. Chamomile and cinnamon read felt nice. Also sad to say but I rarely have plain Water - I have crystal light - so be life water 0 - Vitamin water 0… Please ask your doc for nausea meds if needed. If you cannot drink you will get dehydrated end up back in the hospital so please let the Dr know.

Are you taking Calcium? I had horrible nausea until I stopped talking the calcium supplements. I am pretty sure I need some sort of calcium other than my multi Vitamin but it was so bad I was curled up in bed all day. Within 1 day of stopping the calcium I felt 90% better.

I could not take my Vitamins during the first 2-3 weeks. I would regurgitate Water, liquids, soft foods etc. till I was 4 weeks out .. If you get too weak ..I'd call my dr to make sure you are all right. Better be safe than sorry.

I have nausea meds that that I tried taking last night and it dissolved under my tongue and 2 seconds later I vomited. Water seems to be going ok today. I'm just taking it slow. I just want to know the drinking gets easier??? Also did smells bother anyone???

yes smells bother me and it seems I can smell better than before the surgery. Strange I know but I have read others having this. Yesterday was my first day to drink ice water and it not give me bad reflux. It is a slow process but it will get better.

I definitely have a stronger sense if smell now, it's weird!

I didn't tolerate the acidic drinks like Crystal Light and Vitamin Water well. Chamomile and Peppermint tea went down very well and were soothing.

I thought I was crazy that I couldn't handle the smell of my dh's food this weekend. It made me crazy like when I was PG! Thanks for making me see I am normal. I am glad to see I can tell my husband I am normal.
