I am out of the hospital and so far so good! I suffered with nausea and vomiting soooo bad in the hospital but things are better now! I have a question every time I take a sip of anything it is uncomfortable, and I get a lot of gurgling.  Protein makes me nausea, any suggestions....will this ever pass? Also I want food...I'm not hungry but I just want solid or even mushy foods lol I am sticking Ito my  clear liquids diet is this normal?

Try experimenting with different temperatures as that helps many. I snuck on to eating scrambled eggs before I was supposed to, so I understand your desire not that I'm advocating going against your surgeon's guidelines. I wasn't vomiting so I'd hang in there with the advice you've been given.

This will pass. I hope you feel better soon. The gurgling lessens over time. at 8 months it only hits me once in awhile. Keep after the liquids, try broth or something else warm. Don't try to drink too much at one time. I used to take a sip into my mouth and hold it before swallowing as a way to make sure I didn't drink too fast. You'll be happy when you get to soft and pureed foods. Just remember your insides ae still healing and you don't want to put much strain on them. Have you tried "strained" cream soups? the diffeent taste might help settle some of those longings for food.

Egg drop soup is another nice option once you're allowed to have something a bit thicker.

Yep I'm in my 5th month and remember those says like they were yesterday. I never thought I'd be able to drink the protein shakes on a regular basis. It will get better. I drink 1-2 a day without giving it much thought.
