Try adding things like Crystal Light or Mio to your water. Also sometimes room temperature or warm liquids are easier to handle. I know I loved warm herbal teas. You need to drink even if you feel bad because the more dehydrated you become the more nausea you will feel.

Did you get a prescription for nausea? I think this is what helped me out the first week or so. But you must get your fluids! Have you tried different things like warm broth? Or crystal light?  If you are dehydrated, you will get more and more nauseous. Small sips all day!
