4shiggles 57 Posted May 13, 2016 I just got home from the hospital and I can't keep anything down. I need to take my pain and nausea pills. I throw them back up if I take them on an empty stomach. I have tried several different broths that I liked prior to surgery. When will things taste normal again?

texasgirl51 2 Posted May 14, 2016 This is common. I did the same thing. Always think small! Only one bite at a time, slow! Sipping fluids slowly and waiting for that feeling in your stomach. If you still have problems, you need to address this with your doctor during follow up visit! Best of luck to you.

Christinamo7 4,042 Posted May 14, 2016 the plan I was on allowed to take meds in applesauce or sugar free pudding - have you tried something like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texasgirl51 2 Posted May 15, 2016 I personally ate some applesauce, then took medication about an hour after eating. This seemed to be tolerated better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fosterstacy 1 Posted May 15, 2016 Be sure to be sitting on the edge of the bed when drinking, do not lay down immediately. I had issues keeping stuff down so I sat up and then walked after I drank, 100% better Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Learn to make bone broth; buy some good beef marrow bones and roast them with your choice of root veggies- carrots, onions, celery, garlic, parsnips, leeks etc. After roasting add Water to a stock pot or crock pot and simmer several hours with a few bay leaves and a tsp of cider vinegar and salt to taste. I I find good broth is a great friend and it also helps you heal. Store bought usually sucks and is pure chemistry- not nourishment.
