I've been on my puréed diet for 1 week. The 2 weeks of liquids went well. The first couple days of puréed went well. A couple days ago I got a cold (or allergies or something) and now the only thing I can keep down is sugar free Powerade and Water. The sight and smell of food makes me nauseous. If I take 1 bite of anything I get extremely sick and it's very hard to keep it down.

I talked to my surgeon day 1 of my cold and he told me what I could take for it and what I couldn't. Claritin dissolve tabs are good, robitussin makes me sick.

Has anyone else had any issues like this? Do they pass? Do I need to go to ER for fluids?

I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well.

If you are able to keep Powerade and Water down, you should not get dehydrated. What about some chicken broth?

Honestly I would stick to Clear Liquids and as much as you possibly can. If you are not able to keep that down then, yes you need to go to the ER where they can treat you for dehydration.

I might add that dehydration can cause that nausea and dizziness so if you are feeling that you are not likely getting enough liquid. Try sipping more or head to the ER.

Sip like crazy and I hope you get better soon!

Hugs
