Who else is 2 weeks post-op? Nausea? Still having issues getting liquids in?

I'm having a horrible start at this sleeve. I've thrown up every day since surgery and have been to the ER several times for nausea and dizzy spells. I was finally given a PICC line because my body showed to be dehydrated and in starvation mode. It's so so hard to drink anything!!! After taking a few sips of anything I feel like I need to burp, or I feel like it's all coming back up, or I get the hiccups. Is this normal? I haven't eaten in 3 days because I'm scared I'll throw it up. I'm not too worried about the eating part right now because I have the nutrient bags going in me through the PICC line. It's the drinking fluids that's so hard. When does this go away??? I'm also in the liquids stage at this point.

As far as prescriptions for nausea goes, I've been prescribed reglan, Zofran, and promethazine, and nothing is working.

Small tiny sips throughout the day sugar free popsicles were my best friends at that stage. In the beginning your body dictates and tells you when you've had enough. It's tidiest tiring and frustrating. But fluids need to be with you at all times. Sip out down sip put down Popsicle sip etc. it does get better but your sole focus is liquids. I also incorporated bone broth. Gl
