Question:
How can you eat enough and drink enough fluid?

I am 3 weeks post op and get sick to my stomach every now and then. I eat brakfeast and then eat lunch around 12:00pm and then supper around 5:00pm. I am always drinking water between and I always feel thirsty. If I drink after I eat supper, say 45 minutes, I get sick to my stomach. When will I have energy back?? Mary    — Mary S.

Mary, What surgery did you have? If you are only three weeks post op are you still on liquids? If so you need to be eating every 2-3 hours. The reason you may have no energy is becouse your body is not getting enough nutrition. Are you taking your vitamins? What are you usually eating before getting sick? There are somethings that take a long time to digest like meat and if I drink to so it will come back up and I am 5 months post op. If I don't eat much all day than I have a hard time with nausea and vomiting but if I eat every 3-4 hours than I do OK. Try eating more often!!!
