Fluids = Nausea
I imagine you are already somewhat dehydrated, which would explain why you are nauseous. Dehydration causes nausea. If you can't get more fluids in, you probably need to go to the ER for IV fluids.

I would suggest if you can keep it down, really pushing the fluids. I know that's hard to do when you're nauseous. I had trouble getting my fluids in the first three weeks or so post op. I ended up dehydrated and had to go to the ER twice for IV fluids. If you can't get the fluids in, then you should do that. You would feel about a million times better as soon as you got full of fluid.
But if you can keep fluids down, focus on pushing them as much as you can tonight. If it makes you feel nauseous, just drink anyway. Don't gulp, but sip constantly. If you do that tonight and tomorrow, I bet by this time tomorrow night you will feel a whole lot better.
You might try some warm tea. Warm peppermint tea helps when my stomach is upset. You can also eat ice chips or eat sugar free jello. but just push the fluids in all night.

I've been nauseated as well, they suggested taking the zofran every 4 hours and if after 24 hours of sipping fluids I'm still sick then to go to the ER. I get my zofran IV which works better then PO, but I would use whatever you have. I was given phenergan suppositories as well, but they just see to make me tired.
Good luck!
