struggling to get anything in

[navymom1 26]

I had surgery on Tuesday so I am on day 3 post op. I am struggling to get anything in. Everything is to sweet, to grainy, just down right yucky. I feel so much better when I don't try to take anything in. When I drink, or try to put anything in, my stomach just revolts. Growing, gurgling, and just plain doing flips. I have tried different temps, small sips. I sure do not want to get dehydrated. I am at a loss.

Try everything and anything you can. Lemonade, juice, iced tea, regular tea...every fruit juice under the sun... I know what you mean but didn't really have a hard time with liquids. It's phase two (full liquids) I hate. I am almost 2 weeks post-op and wondering if i will ever feel normal again!

Are you taking a PPI or anything for stomach acid?

Keep at it cos you don't want to get dehydrated and end up back in the hospital. Try everything...it will work soon. You are recovering from surgery and your new tiny tummy is still healing and getting over the shock of it all. I struggled for days and then all of a sudden it was all good.

Good luck, you can do this!

It does get better! Keep at it. Try 1 oz of Fluid every 15-20 minutes. Vegetable broth worked best for me as did sports drinks, purple and blue Powerade, Water with lemon and iced tea.

@@Katie K Kitt You will once you start on soft foods you will start getting more energy and feeling much better!

I struggled my first two weeks. Everything made me sick. I still can't drink regular Water. chicken broth and hot tea w/ lemon were the only things I could tolerate for almost a month. Good luck.
