Is it normal to still have nausea five days after surgery? Should I go back on clear liquids?

I was on clear liquids for a week, then full liquids, then mushies, and then real food. Each took a week. When I went on full liquids I was allowed to have very runny grits. One time I didn't have them runny enough and got very nauseous and vomited. I think if we

not sure if you are on (liquids as i think you most likely should be). the only time i felt that way is if i was not drinking enough or getting enough Fluid intake. i think you should drink more (popsicles etc). i think that would help. but call your dr if that makes you more comfortable. you do not want to be vomiting so early after surgery. you are healing. (ask them for some anti nauseau meds, that will help).

Thanks! My dr actually only required clear liquids for 48 hours then I could do other liquids. I haven't been eating much (or drinking) much so maybe that is it. I had some hot apple cider after this post, slept a little more, and now I am drinking a protien shake and I feel ok. I have my follow-up appt. Thursday, I also have the magic nausea cream.

Thanks again.

well, since you are sorta (eating) too much at one time. (small sips, small drinks, small small small). keep up with the Protein. that will keep you full and will need to be your BFF.
