Not feeling so hot today

Hey guys.  I came home yesterday and was feeling pretty good-no problems at all other than "normal" post-op pain, etc.  Well, I woke up this morning with a headache.  I reached over to take a drink and wasn't sitting up all the way-not sure if I got too much air in my pouch or what but I've felt yucky since.  I've had a bit of nausea, but haven't gotten sick.  Took some more pain med and got some more sleep but still just don't feel good.  Nausea seems better but is still there a little.  I'm sipping on my water but trying to be oh-so-careful b/c I'm terrified of throwing up.  I don't think I'm dehydrated-I drank plenty yesterday and I'm still peeing fine, etc-though I know it's possible.  Any other tips to get rid of this nausea or any ideas why I'm having it.  It's a lot more bearable now than it was before.  Bad part is my headache feels migraine-ish, so this would be completely normal for me, but I can't take what I normally would for a migraine.  Any thoughts and suggestions you guys have would be great.  :)

Ok-after dry heaving and then calling the doc-he thinks it was from taking pain medicine on an empty stomach.  I feel much better now.  I got down some vegetable broth and feel pretty good now.  Still a little linger of nausea, but nothing compared to before.  Guess I learned my lesson :).

I dealt with alot of nausea in the first 10 days or so, because I wasn't drinking enough.  on days that I get all my fluids in I feel great :-)  Just take it easy....

Thanks Stacy :).  I feel 100 times better now than I did earlier-that was scary b/c I was so afraid of getting sick.  I've been able to get more fluids in and I held off on pain meds until just a while ago.  I've noticed that getting my fluids in is going to be tricky-they weren't kidding when they said that.  I also keep getting the hiccups which does not feel too good.  It sounds like I'm complaining a lot but I really do feel pretty good...I promise lol.
