Slimies after drinking?

[RedSalamander 148]

Hi all! I'm 3 days post-op and mostly doing well. But today I had what I think was a case of slimies after not eating anything. I had the desperate need to burp that didn't go away with my pacing, terrible gas-type pain, and lots of saliva. It went on till I finally vomited. I had been going so slowly--just sips! And I've only had sugar-free beverages and Protein Drinks. Help--I'm almost afraid to drink now.

Well you've got to get fluids in one way or another. How about some sugar free Popsicles? Maybe some lukewarm tea? Sugar free Jello? Just until you feel a little better...then resume the small sips of Protein Shakes after an hour or two. I've seen on the boards that it is not uncommon to have difficulty with plain Water. I personally add flavorings to my water because plain water tastes weird to me.

I've resumed sipping, but so, so slowly. Ugh. That was awful.
