3 weeks post-op, why am I suddenly having nausea and dry heaves?

All I am able to take in is water which I sip all day, even at night while I am asleep, I wake up and take sips throughout the night. About 2-3 days ago, the nausea started and I keep gagging or having dry heaves. I have only eaten two meals in the last 2.5 days. I am on full liquids right now, but the idea of food makes me sick. I haven't been able to do the protein shakes cause the smell makes me sick. I also have a G-Tube which is supposed to stay in till next week and the smell of it makes me sick. i feel like a nutcase. Everyone says the smell from the G-Tube is normal. I can't take my meds or chew my vitamins cause I fear I will throw up. Textures, smells..you name it...make me sick. I am beginning to get depressed because this has been so discouraging recently and I keep trying to tell myself it will get better. Any advice anyone? Thanks....Shay
