HELP - 5 days out - nausea, diarrhea - can't keep anything down

I need some help! I'm 5 days out - went to the ER last night - it took 3 shots of anti-nausea meds to calm my stomach down and finally made me go to sleep. They took x-rays and I have no closures or strictures. I haven't been able to keep even water down since day 3. I've tried broth, sugar free popsicles, skim milk, my protein shake, crystal light and water. I also have the 'frothing' stuff in my mouth and have to spit every minute or so - along with a terrible taste in my mouth. No matter how many times I brush my teeth it doesn't go away. I also have diarrhea still every time I go to the bathroom - even wake up 2-3 times per night with it. I can't stand the smell of most anything - had to put the flowers I got while I was in the hospital outside - can't stand the smell of my husband fixing food for him and the kids - I am miserable. Please help! Julie

Julie, have you talked with your surgeon about what you have been experiencing?? If not, please do so...TODAY !!! Do NOT wait until tomorrow !!! He needs to be always kept fully informed about what is going on with you... Hope that you get to feeling better and soon!! Norma

I had the diarrhea for over a week when I came home. It will get better, but you need to talk to the surgeon SOON because you run the risk of getting dehydrated. The bad taste I had in my mouth was due to the Protein drinks and it will eventually go away. Don't get distressed things will get better!!!
