Any Suggestions for Constant Nausea?

Hi guys, as Melinda posted earlier, (Thanks girl!), I got released Friday.  Problem is...now that I am home and not supplied with a constant drip of Zofran to keep the queasies away, it's happening again!!!!  Yup...been home a little over 24 hours and have gotten 9 ounces of fluid in.  I promise!!!!  I am not a glutton for punishment, nor am I a pity seeker...I am trying my best to get in my fluids but literally everything I put in my mouth, solid or liquid, makes me sick...not just queasy, but bending over the toilet puking sick!!!  I do not want to end up back in the hospital again so I am asking if any of you have any tried and true nausea remidies or any particular food I could try that may stay down better...I need suggestions, anything, please!!! I did learn some more about my surgery...Dr. H filled me in better.  Turns out that the excess scar tissue in my abdomen had actually twisted my bowels so he had to cut them apart to get them to untwist.  He had to cut out a lot of scar tissue and he thinks that is why the one particular spot inside is still hurting so badly.  It's only one spot and it's where the most cutting went on.   I'm not sure if I'm just having a harder time waking everything up and that's why I'm so sick or what...I do know that no matter what I try to eat or drink, it ends up making me bloat so badly I have to unbutton my pants...within just a few minutes.  So maybe another week or so and it will all resolved itself. So, anybody have any ideas for me?

 Kym, I have no idea but an definetly keeping you in my prayers. Does water make you feel sick too? Ellen

Kym,   Right after I had my surgery I was very sick to my somach and I would suck on lemons. That seemed to settle my stomach and I was able to keep liquids and food down. I hope that helps you. Hope you get to feeling better soon!!!!

Kym darling, I have been in constant prayer from you.  Even when I hung up the Cancer plaque that you sent me I was praying for you.  Ask the dr. for some nausea medication, and if necessary in the suppository form.  That helps a lot when nothing else works.  Try and keep forcing down liquids as you don't want to dehydrate again.  It's not fun and I know that much.  Did the Dr. just cut the scar tissue or did he laser burn them?  I had to have mine laser burned as I was a spider web of scar tissue inside.  I am to see a surgeon to do an exploritory surgery to find out why I am in so much pain on my right side.  They suspect it's scar tissue wrapped around my colon and liver area.   Try the popsycles and see if that helps.  At least it's water going into your system, and will help keep the body from dehydrating again.  Jello also helps,  and some warm broth.  At least you are getting something inside of you, even if it doesn't all stay down, at least your body is getting something in it.  But I would ask for some Pheneragan Suppositories to help with the nausea and then you can get in your liquids.   I'll continue to keep you in my prayers.  Hope you start feeling better.  I love you.

Kym I think Dr. Houston can prescribe you with some type of nausea medication.  You might want to call him and ask....

Today I had nausea alll day long.  I had not had any nausea prior to this and I am 3 weeks out.  I remembered hearing something about pickles/pickle juice. I had a small dill pickle and drank a tiny bit of juice and didn't have nausea after that.  I had posted on the main board about nausea and alot of people recommended warm tea like peppermint that is suppose to help.  Dr. McDowell's nurse said mine might be sinus drainage draining into my pouch and making me sick so to get some otc decongestant so I did that as well.  Plus a rx of zofran.  On the board about the pickle juice, someone said on that Big Medicine there was a lady who had bad nausea and she had a pickle and it made her nausea dissapear.  I'd say try a little, at your own risk, lol others might get mad at me for suggesting that, but has worked for several people :-)
