I breezed through the first two days aftery my Oct 16th surgery, but woke up on day three feeling dizzy and nauseous. I sipped on a protein drink and started to feel better, but every time I went for a few hours without drinking something the nausea returned. I called the Dr and he said probably low blood sugar. He said keep eating(drinking) as often as possible - not just the water - and try to get some carbs at night before bed to tide me over until morning. I am sticking with the Carnation Instant breakfasts since they seem to have some sugar in them and they chase away the dizziness. He also called in a prescription for me though - just in case. I read that getting sick and especially if you throw up - takes a long time to recover from that in the early days.

Try some more carbs would be my advice (from my Dr)

Good luck

Just remember liquids in, liquids out :).
