I'm going on my second day post op. All I've been able to get down is water and half of a Popsicle. Even those things make me feel super nauseated. Is that normal?

I was nauseated for at least 24 hours. It did subside after that. First few days is hard!

The first days/weeks are the roughest. I didn't experience nausea, but a lot of people do. The good news is it gets better... much better. Hang in there and congrats!

It's pretty common. I don't think anyone is able to get much more than water down the first 24 hours. I think I managed a couple spoon-fulls of broth and a sugar-free popsicle on my second day. Really just try to focus on sip, sip, sipping your water. Tiny little sips every few minutes. Try to get in about one ounce every 15 minutes.

I am just into my 3rd day, and I have been VERY blessed to avoid the nausea that seems to accompany the first days following surgery. The biggest difference so far is that water has me feeling full. I have not yet figured out how to take my vitamins and meds without overdoing the water intake (I feel stuffed right now from the antacid, vitamins, and statin pill swallowing with water). I think that the protein shake will be dinner, not lunch. I feels better each morning.

It's 630 now and I've been able to get 40 oz of water in so far. And I've had an entire Popsicle split into 3 different meals. I feel like I'm doing pretty good now. I still get slightly nauseated here and there but I'm feeling much better than this morning
