I got home from hospital about 2:30 this afternoon. Feeling ok, but battling nausea really bad. Any good suggestions?? Clears for the rest of the week then I can go onto purred fog 3-4 weeks after. It's all so surreal! The dr said my band looked fine but obviously my body was rejecting it and the sleeve is beautiful. Pictures looked really cool!!

Pictures? Did the surgeon take pics for you? Super cool!

How about some hot ginger tea? There are some teas already flavored that way, or you can simply use your own favorite tea bag (Lipton, Luzianne, etc.) and cut up 3-4 thin slices of fresh ginger root and put in there to steep with the tea bag. Add some splenda and let it cool just a bit so it's not too hot...yummmm...and soothing for nausea.

Thanks that's a wonderful idea!

When I was nauseous, sf popsicles were my miracle cure-all for it.

And I'll have to remember that in case my ginger tea doesn't work if I have nausea post-op.

chicken broth was my preferred food for the icky feelings. For some reason warm went down much easier than cold.

Oh, I forgot! Welcome to the loser's bench!!!
