Hi all - I know some of you had read my previous post, i am about 5 weeks post op from laparotomy due to bowel obstruction - not doing well - last night and all of today i have severe nausea with bad headache, so I called the surgeon just now- his advice was to drink some coke with a teaspoon of sugar in it??? Now, I'm up for anything that works, but has anyone ever tried this with any success? I don't drink pop to begin with, so this sure sounds awful to me, especially since I'm so nauseous. He has also ordered an xray of small bowel for tomorrow morning, just for a look-see. Okay - back to bed, this is getting so ridiculous -grrrr

Thanks, Jill
