LIQUID IDEAS

I had my surgery 07-26-2017. I have been doing great on my full liquid diet until yesterday. Nausea has set in and it looks like it is here to stay. I can't drink any water at all I just feel so sick when I do. I was able to drink two PowerAde zero's and some chicken broth with my protein drinks. Today I am not able to handle the water or the PowerAde zero, but I am able to keep some cream of chicken soup on my stomach. I'm just looking for ideas to see if there is anything else I can drink like maybe homemade lemonade with splenda? I just need something to quench my thirst. I am staying so thirst. I called the doctor and they said to take the nausea medication and just get as much fluid in as I can. I follow up with them on Tuesday. TIA.

I had problems with liquids that were room temperature so I drank alot of herbal tea and ate lots of SF popsicles. The difference in temperature helped me.

Thanks I will give that a try.

Have you tried Popsicles?

I have in the past, but have not the past two days. I will give that a try.

Do you like Chinese soups? I got the hot and sour soup (this is what I wanted) and strained it very carefully and had the broth. I swear it brought tears to my eyes...

Maybe the egg drop or wonton soups? They have a better flavor than plain chicken broth.

Also, the differing temperatures also helps to see which one your pouch likes the best.

Whatever you can find, because the nausea will actually get worse the more dehydrated you get, and you don't want to end up in the hospital needing an IV for fluids.

Hang in there!

1. Thank you I never thought about trying that. I will have to go and get me some to try.

Progressive makes a chicken stock that has 10g protein per serving and it's really tasty. Someone also mentioned ice pops. Those were a life saver for me.

I've tried the chicken stock it's not settling on my stomach at all.

I'm so sorry for you! :( I hope it passes quickly!
