She posted "plz help," and you did. 

I learned a lot in this thread, and it wasn't just about dehydration post op! :)

If she is unable to drink water or clear liquid she should NOT be drinking protein shakes.   Apart from the fact that she is only a few days out and should be following HER surgeon's plan ...

OP - unless you are not able to keep liquid down - the reason you feel nauseous is because you are dehydrated.  You have two options:

1)  sip sip sip clear liquid and get yourself rehydrated - you will need to ignore the feeling of nausea until you are rehydrated enough that it will disappear on its own!

2) take yourself to ER and get some fluids

If you are unable to drink clears, I have no idea why you think you will be able to drink the protein shakes your surgeon doesn't want you to drink!

Hey Kim,

thanks for telling me how to "friend"someone who is privatized. However, I don't mean to be a bore cause I've already complained to you about this damn iPad, but LOL, I don't know how to "hover" with this damn device. Oh well, I guess if Mooney or you gal want to add me, you will. I WANT A NORMAL COMPUTER!!

Thanks for the support I am feeling much better to. All I did all weekend was drink,drink water and more water lol I think Sunday I got almost 80oz in crazy I didn't think I could drink that much water but the nausea went away now. I was able to eat some food today, I got sick after breakfast a little but the rest of the day went good. Thanks again for the support and I figured the comments weren't meant for me lol.

Are you able to get in all of your prescribed fluid?  Are you peeing?

It sounds like they gave you the "go to the ER" speech on Friday.  If you are doubtful at all, call them and they will advise you, but I think based on what they said, they'll tell you to go in if you're really miserable.  Weekends can be really rough to wait out.

Hope you feel better soon!
