home,but cant eat help

i had surgery tuesday and im home. im doing ok but i cant eat. everything taste nasty. im keeping water down and this protein pudding but the chicken broth is not working for me. please help me

Stephanie, I had my surgery Monday and came home on Thursday. I can drink the chicken broth, but, I don't like it, so I'm drinking very little of it. I think all we can do at this point is sip the clear liquids. If you are getting the protein down, you will be okay. Then also make sure you have sugar free jello and popsicles. I am still in shock of how little I can get down. Takes me forever to get down my water and protein drink. But, I'm doing good and plan on continuing too! We got to hang in there! Everyone tells me it gets easier! Lori

Instead of chicken broth try the vegestable broth it tastes better

I hated the clear liquid diet! Have you tried beef broth? Crystal Light? Sugar-free Jello?

Try sugarfree juice pops or juicebars. They really save the day. Try some diluted applejuice. Make sure that you dilute it. Try chicken soup but only drink the broth. I could do chicken both from the can, so I bought chicken noodle soup and drained all the broth and drank the both from that. Cathy D

I did the same thing!only I lived on SF pops,and diluted Gatorade that I would put into the freezer and it would be like a slushy. I lived off of that. I hated the broth since the hospital. I guess that is why I started to eat solids at an early stage.Now I can tolarate almost anything,I know that this is a bad habit,but its the only thing that I could've done. Good Luck Rosie
