I also had a hard time with nausea throwing up for a full 2 days but at least I had IV fluids. I also had to have a urinary catheter because I couldn’t urinate. I asked for a stronger anti nausea med and it helped immensely. It’s awful throwing up after surgery. I hope you feel better soon.

You are ALL lucky- I am 4 weeks post-op and have had terrible nausea for the last two weeks and my surgeon REFUSES to give me a script for Zofran!!!! Why? Why would they want me to suffer???

Thank You for these ideas. They are great!

Hi- thank you- and I just realized I received ten of them, not eight, lol. Also, I was just thinking you could put your smoothies or diet cranberry juice in them, etc. Lots of ways to freeze things. And because we have to eat slow, we can "squeeze up" whatever we are having slowly- and if we have to stop, just put the cap back on.

That is an awesome idea! I wish someone had told me about this. I am actually going to do this now. It will seem like I am eating ice cream but healthy. Thanks

I just bought some silicone popsicle molds with little lids from Amazon- and filled them with my Protein Drinks and slowly had them. My plan after surgery is mix plain nonfat greek yogurt with 1/2 teaspoon of pureed blueberries (just for taste) and make frozen yogurt popsicles. Also- these were inexpensive for eight of them. They also say you can put any juice, or crystal light in them and they will freeze, thus making sugar free popsicles. I am scared for the pre-op all liquid diet for two weeks. I just cleaned out the entire refrigerator and freezer and either threw stuff out, or gave to a neighbor. I also made a huge batch of chicken broth (found 5 bags of bones from leftover chicken I made) and then got square containers at the dollar store, about 1.5 cup size- and they stack well. So I am stocked up for a while. I also made pea Soup (no meat) and pureed it silky smooth and have those when the time comes. I put plastic wrap on before the lid so no freezer burn. I live alone and have to have things easy for myself. Hope these ideas help someone.
