Hi I'm about 9 days post opp GS. Haven't been able to really keep much down except half an ice pop per day and maybe 8 oz of Water. Met with my surgeon today and he sent me to ER. In ER I was offered applesauce and it was Gerber brand. Of course I couldn't eat it all at once but it stayed down and I didn't feel sick. I was also offered Gerber brand water. It stayed down as well.

Does or did anyone else have to start off slow with baby products due to digestion? I thought it was a little weird at first but the apple sauce taste great and the water taste wonderful, very purified. I was drinking Poland Spring at first but I was able to pick up a few gallons of the Gerber Pure water since it can stay down without a problem. I didn't realize I had to drink atleast 48oz of fluids a day. Hopefully I can now that I have easier water to drink.

Nursery water is basically distilled so it has no minerals. Maybe Gerber is too. Wish I had known about that post op. Maybe it was the minerals in water that made me nauseous.

I know the mineral content of our well Water still sits poorly with me three years out. I do bottled water even though my family loves the well water so minerals can make a difference
