Keep in mind there is constant adjusting to find what works. The third day was when it really started for me. It was tomato soup that was the key for me, but try everything. I could eat/drink the soup, but could not swallow water. It was a surprise for me. I was constantly searching for the foods/liquids that were tolerable for me.

The thing to realize is that it will get better in about two weeks. Try to stay comfortable as possible. Less commotion in the room seems better. For me even the smell of the alcohol was difficult. I would put a blanket or towel over my nose to avoid the smell. The important thing is to do whatever works and before you know it the two weeks will pass.
