jrdnsmom 3 Posted July 26, 2018 I need help, I'm at work and I'm so nauseated, I've been for hours. I try going in the restroom and hang my head over the toilet hoping to just throw up. i hope it would make me feel better. Now i have done very well without soda, dont need it don't want it. I don't want to ruin my sleeve, I want to take care of it the best I can, but I'm in a bind, there is nothing here but bending machines full of crap. I don't feel good at all. in one machine there is some finer ale. if I let it go flat can I drink some. I'm desperate. all that sugar, ugh I don't want it but I'm at a loss of what to do. also, I cant go home sick, I just got written up for being over my quota. so that's out of the question. any advice. I'm in tears 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redmister 25 Posted July 26, 2018 Putting an alcohol prep pad on my nose helped me with nausea after surgery. If you don't have those, maybe put a little alcohol gel hand sanitizer on??? 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa K. 62 Posted July 26, 2018 My co-workers made me a bag of goodies for the hospital and one of the best things in it is a product called Quease Ease. It's a little smelly thing you peel the lid off of and inhale to relieve nausea. It's the same premise as the alcohol pads (which also works great and nurses have done this for years!). They are a great smell--very minty! You can order them off of Amazon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I work 12 hour shifts so I need to wait till then. but I think I know what is causing it. I think I have to go to the bathroom but I can't, I think my stomach feels like I have diarrhea but I can't go which is making my stomach hurt and causing my nausea. I keep trying but I can't. sorry for being so graphic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are already approved for solid foods, is there anywhere you can order from that can bring you a bottle of Water and a grilled chicken salad maybe? (I realize this might be a little late at this point) Also, any of the "Diet" drinks when de-carbonated would be a better choice than any of the standard sodas.
