Help Nausea

Hello Everyone. I am 18 days out and healing well. I was getting in most of my protein and fluids and doing pretty good. however, about four days ago i hit a wall with the protein. i became very nauseated and couldnt drink one more no matter what (tried several flavors). I decided to leave them alone and try food for a change (i had been given the okay by dr for food at  post op). I was able to force a few bites here and there but drinking less to try and eat. now im only drinking about half of what i was and barely eating. The naseau is getting worse where i dont want to 

Really force the fluids and maybe ask about going in to urgent care to get a bag of fluids. Sounds like dehydration, which is very, very easy to do immediately post-op.

I'm getting some fluids just not what I was.........only about 30oz and I was getting in double that before the nausea set in. I have backed off food bc that is what started all this and just focusing on fluids. Got new protein today and trying that hope it works.......if it does I should be fine. If I can't do the new protein either calling doc Friday. Thanks for your support.

Once you get checked for dehydration talk to your Doc about some nausea meds. Gina's right dehydration is the
first thing to rule out. I hope you feel better soon. Hard enough to make progress without fighting the nausea too.

I was drinking fluids just fine until I tried to incorporate food and that's when it fell apart. Just focusing on fluids now and backed off forcing food . I started taking meds for the nausea and it helps until I try to eat or drink protein then instant gag. I switched protein hoping that helps if not going to call doc Friday. Thanks for your support.
