I'm two days post-op and am very nausiated whenever I take a sip of anything. Any advice?

My doctor sent me home with Zofran, an anti-nausea drug. Can you call your doctor and ask about that? it seemed to help me during those times. Hang in there! I know the first few days are rough, but it does get better, I promise! :-)

Call your dr. It could be anesthesia working its way through but still, call your dr

Hi Blue,

I agree with Lcat4. You should call your doctor about ANY experience you are having that is "worse than expected".

Looks like we had our procedures on the same day! I too am struggling with nausea. My doc sent me home with Ondansetron ODT, Apparently it is the same thing as the Zofran. It helps. Today is post op day 3, and I'm tackling the first protein drink. I don't feel ANY desire to chug it, but it is staying down, which makes me happy. Hang in there... not that we have much choice at this point, do we? :-). This too shall pass.

Dr gave me two Iv fluids yesterday along with nausia meds. I know have some of the meds here at home to help also. Pain isn't bad just hate feeling sick. Did eat a little cream of wheat earlier going for protein drink next.
