How do I deal with constant nausea and the fact that everything I eat tastes awful.

I am 10 weeks post op and everything I eat gives me nausea. Everything tastes awful. I often shy away from eating because I don't want to be sick. I have finally gotten the diarrhea under control, but can't seem to eat anything without the nausea except chicken noodle soup. When does this food taste issue solve itself? When will food taste more normal? Is there anything I can eat to ease in to normal eating without nausea. Sometimes I even have to lay down for a few hours after eating. I am not eating fats or drinking milk products. The Dr. gave me Reglan for the nausea and it didn't help. Now they say not to take it because it can make the nausea worse in some. Help. I am not getting enough to eat. Even Crystal Lite and water make my stomach upset.
