Its me Bev

Ok guys I need some help. I have been so sick. Very nauseated. Got some meds for that but all I do is sleep on them. Nothing taste good. water taste like dirt, crystal lite is to sweet and broths are to saltly. What on earth can I do. I have been eating tons of ice but I need something else. Has anyone ate egg drop soup. It sounds so good but dont know whether to try it or not.  Give me some ideas, so for all I can have is my protein drinks, haven't been able to drink any substancual amount of that.  next thursday I can start on semi soft foods. I am so very weak, I can't get up and walk much. I went to mo bar thurs and had my drain removed and they thought everything looked fine. doesn't seem like I should be feeling like this this far out from surgery. I need all the advice I can get..

es egg drop wkill be good for you..are you taking your B vitamin? that helps with your nausea,  maybe someone else will have some ideas too....Vesta

Bev you may just have to push yourself to do what you have to do. Take b vits for the nausea, it will help , you are going to have to make yourself drink the water , mix it with what ever you have to to get there but you will have to do it, either that or wind up in the hospital dehydrated. please dont do that to yourself. I know it isnt easy but it has to be done. I didnt like the taste of water at first but the more you push yourself the better it gets. that taste you are having in your mouth is because you are losing weight i think, if you arent getting enough protein and water you are going to get very very sick and much weaker than you are now. have you tried sugar free popcicles? the egg drop soup will be ok just strain the bigger pieces out.
cream soups that are strained will be ok too. love you and want you to get better but like i said you are going to have to push yourself. If this continues do not hesitate to get to your doctors as you will be needing some iv fluids soon.   

egg instead of es...lol...vesta

Hello this is Hillary Beverly's Grand-daughter. Just to let everyone know I am gettin ready to take her up to the university. We are scared she might have a leak somewhere. When she changed her bandage over where her drain was. She thought that she had slim-fast on it. We called and talked to the "fellow" on duty and he said he would meet us in the emergency room. So can everyone just say a little prayer for her. When we know anything I'll have my aunt get on here and update you guys.

Thanks so much,
Hillary Bev's Grand-daughter

Will be praying right now that the Lord touches her and she gets though this quickly.

Hi Bev,

I don't know what to tell you about the problems you are having eating but I sure wanted you to know I will be praying you are able to get thru this and find a solution that works for you! I know the Lord will help you!

Thinking of you.

Bev, I sure hope you start feeling better soon.  I know what you are going through I went through that too and let me tell you that you need to drink cause if you don't you'll end up back in the hospital I did I was dehydrated and very anemiac after I got home from surgery.  If your weak that maybe because your anemiac that's how I felt anyway.  I couldn't eat or drink hardly anything I had an infection for 3 weeks and was sick all the time.  Make sure you get in your B1 that helps with the nausea and try really hard to get your protein in.  put a scoop of protein powder in some Sf pudding or unsweetened applesauce whatever you can do to get that all in will be the best benifical to you cause protein helps the healing process too.  I ate a lot of low fat cottage cheese it seemed like the only thing that stayed down and was ok to eat.  Hang in there things will get better even though it may not seem like it right now.
