5 days post -op

I am 5 days post -op, days 3 and 4 were really tough, lots of meds kept days 1-3 going well. I am on clear liquids and followed a 10 day pre-op full liquid diet. My problem now is I am still feeling nauseous when I drink fluids, but I actually feel like I want food or something a little more than clear liquid. I feel weak, unbalanced and a little irritable. My family and friends have been super supportive, bringing meals and encouragement. The food smells so good, I want some, yet I have such a hard time keeping enough clear liquids down, I can't imagine how full liquids and other consistency foods will stay down. I am guessing this is all part of my stomach healing, and I will soon start being able to drink normally without the nauseousness. I am on zofran which has helped tremendously to settle my stomach. I love my doctors and staff, I have called them tons and they too have been great. Can anyone recommend a soup or something they loved while on clear liquids? Thanks everyone. This forum has been incredibly helpful.
