Actually pretzels are/were a great help to me. In the morning especially. It as if the stomach doesn't want anything to be in there. I found if a sucked on a pretzel and then chewed it up, waited 5 minutes and repeated with another pretzel I could usually then get in a Lite yogurt or on really bad days a serving of Sugar free Carnation made with skim milk. Hope this helps you. Monica

My first reaction is what has your doctor said about this? To be this far our from surgury and still not be able to eat? This doesn't sound normal---not that you are abnormal!!!! What helped me with nausea was low fat ritz crackers. They would settle my tummy and I didn't have to worry about toasting anthing. I hope all goes well. Jodi
