And that's what's going on with me.  Hope everybody else is doing great.

It'll get better. How much fluid are you getting in? Nausea can actually be an early sign of dehydration, so be careful.

In the first week, my best friends were Crystal Light, Powerade Zero, Vitamin Water Zero, and popsicles. I also loved broth and sugar free jello.

Just keep sipping. It will get easier, I promise!

Caffeine Free Mint tea worked for me.

Good luck.

Remember...sip means just that. Not gulp, drink, partake or anything else. Sip, just sip. And rest so you can heal. It gets way better. You are gonna love the ride. Donna

Nausea is also a side effect of opiates drugs ie morphine.  Did you get something for nausea from your doctor?  Try hot...that's what worked for me.  It gets better every day.  I thought I was dying day one.  Quick way to check for dehydration is press your thumb.  Notice how it goes white?  The color should come back instantly.  If not I'd go to the ER for an IV....you are dehydrated.

Awww, sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. I experienced the same exact things. Try staying in reclined position, and drinking some flat diet 7-up.

I'm on day 7 and feeling so much better-just take it easy and don't force it. :):)
