What is it you guys (or your wife) is eating/drinking that is making you nauseous? Is it everything? Even water?

Hi:

Is your wife on perscription antacids?  Tufts medical made us take a perscription antacid and I don't know if that is going to hel*****t.

I also found chicken broth a good way to combat nausea.

Take care,
Kerry

what stage are you in?  I didn't tolerate protein at all the first couple weeks.  My surgeon told me just to keep trying different shakes (none worked), and broth etc, and then just focused on making sure I was getting enough liquids.  They really want to make sure you don'r become dehydrated mostly during that time.  Also, he had me drink G2, and Powerade 0 to make sure I was getting in some sodium since I couldn't drink any protein sources.  As soon as I could eat mushy foods, I was in heaven and the nausea went away!!!!  Good luck!
