Don't know what to do. Please help.

 I am 8 days post-op and sick as a dog.  I dumped 2 days ago on 1% milk and it was the most miserable 10 hours of my life.  Now everything makes me sick.  I can barely get in 30 grams or so of protein and maybe 24-32 ounces of water per day.  I have the dry heaves and can't stop crying.

I wish I had never done this but it's too late for that.  What to do?  Any advice?

Stick to somethink like Isopure or Synthrax Necture or other clear protein beverage, either RTD or powders.  The Isopure in particular is very high protein and pretty easy on the tummy and is hydrating.

Also, stick to maybe two or three tablespoons at a crack.

It WILL get better.

GIANT Gentle Bear Hugs! I think is normal to have buyers remorse. I think if you can't get much anything down and you are dry heaving I would call my dr.... maybe you have a problem that can be fixed.

I am sure the Vets will pipe in here soon...

I feel for you. Milk is hard on us early out - it takes awhile. For right now don't worry so much about getting the protein down and focus on clear liquids like jello, broth, popsicles. Your insides are torn up as it is from the surgery and they need to be babied this early out. Also, know that it will be okay - calm down and try to stay relaxed. Sipping on even warm tea may help too right now. If it persists after you've tried these things for a day or two please call your doctor.

 Thank you all.  I just called the dr.  He said no protein right now and just concentrate on my water.  I just feel so incredibly bad.

it sounds like you are dehydrated - get in any and all fluid you can tolerate. experiement with different tastes and temperatures: hot, cold, tepid, tea, water - etc.

if you can't keep it down you may need to have IV fluids - please get on top of this!  

Yes, this ^^^^

 I felt really sick at first, everything made me gag. Even the thought of food made me nauseous. Chicken and beef broth, and creamy soups were pretty easy to stomach. I couldn't drink plain water, I had to mix juice or crystal light with it. 

It will get better soon!

 Jill don't be so hard on yourself.  You need to rest, sip liquids, rest some more and repeat.
Your body has been through a lot it is takes a little time.  Your expectations are probably set a little high.  Listen to your doctor, but above all rest and sip and rest.  It gets better I promise.

Let us know how your are doing.  Hang in there.

It will get better just stick with it,  I had many days and night where I cried and asked what did I do to myself, popsicles were my best friends I couldnt do mik for 6 months and still only little sips of it and I'm going on 4 years out.
